“New England’s Haunted Lighthouses” At The Epsom Library
Just in
time for Halloween! On Wednesday, October 29, at 7 :00 p.m. the
Epsom Library will present “New England’s Haunted Lighthouses” with
Jeremy D’Entremont, considered a leading expert on New England’s
historic lighthouses.
Jeremy tells us that although “lighthouses are picturesque icons
that remind us of our rich maritime history, they also have a dark
side. Lighthouses and ghost stories often seem to go hand in hand,
as confirmed by the many horror stories and movies that utilized
lighthouses as their settings.”
Jeremy’s talk will focus on some of the macabre tales of New
England’s coastal beacons, including the lovelorn spirit known as
Ernie at Connecticut’s New London Ledge Light, and the piano playing
ghost of Maine’s Seguin Light. Also included will be accounts of
strange happenings at two New Hampshire lighthouses, Portsmouth
Harbor and White Island. Jeremy has personally taken part in many
lighthouse investigations for paranormal research groups. He calls
himself an “open-minded skeptic,” and he’ll share some of his
personal experiences.
The author of more than a dozen books, he has appeared on the Syfy
Channel’s popular “Ghost” program, as well as “Haunted Lighthouses
of America on the Travel Channel. He has also appeared on the
History Channel, Public Television, and the National Public Radio
speaking about lighthouse history.
We hope you will join us for what promises a most interesting
evening.
