TRUE GHOST STORIES OF CONNECTICUT
Monday, October 2nd at 6:00pm
Join us for an evening of spooky stories from around Connecticut with Charles Rosenay!!! from his book, TRUE GHOST STORIES OF CONNECTICUT. Other books in the past may present a history of Connecticut’s haunted places, but this new collection tells actual stories of what happened at such notorious locations as the Ansonia Opera House, Sterling Opera House, Old New-Gate Prison, Robbins Swamp, New Haven Center Church, Dudleytown, Fairfield Hills Asylum. Discover the “Demon House of Derby,” New Haven’s “Pink Lady,” and so many terrifying and shocking stories that may keep readers awake nights… and probably change their mind if they don’t already believe.
We will not only hear the stories but….. there will be a full paranormal investigation/ghost-hunting event including a hands-on seminar with ghost-hunting equipment.
