Ghost Stories - Visiting the Beyond

Wednesday, August 3

Curt Strutz, our presentoer, loves haunted houses - loves them so much he visits them and brings his stories back to you!  In his "Visiting the Beyond" seminar, Curt will take you into some of the nation's most haunted location.  He has visited haunted battlefields, deserted asylums, historic locations and known haunted residences around the United States. Curt has visited them and has the proof on film!


If you missed this spooky event, DON'T miss the September 22 Author Visit by Wendy Webb with her book on the Tale of Halcyon Crane. This is a charming, intriguing mystery that takes place on an island in Lake Superior (modelled after a recognisable Mackinaw Island). Wendy Webb is a Minnesota author who went to school in St. Louis Park and attended the University of Minnesota, where she earned a degree in political science.  Wendy spent the twenty years writing for most of the major publications in the Twin Cities. She currently lives in Duluth, where she is the editor-in-chief of "Duluth-Superior Magazine.”. She recently published her first novel, The Tale of Halcyon Crane, which won the 2011 Minnesota Book Award for Genre Fiction.   Ms. Webb’s presentation will begin at 7:00 PM in the auditorium of the Rochester Public Library, immediately following the Mystery Tea sponsored by the Friends’ Bookstore.   Her book will be available for purchase and autographing.
