The weekend before Halloween, we visited a staged haunted theatre with actors, and I gave another paranormal presentation at the William Fogg Library in Eliot, Maine. Today's blog shares those events and the history of the family who provided the library and granted their homestead to the town.

LEAVITT THEATRE - Built in the 1920s in Oguinquit, Maine, this theatre is also now a craft cocktail bar, restaurant and entertainment venue.Oguinquit is in southeastern Maine, right on the Atlantic Ocean.

OUR FUN EXPERIENCE - There were groups of 8 people led by an actor through a darkened theatre that was filled with nightmarish scenes, stuffed dummies of "dead people" sitting in random theatre seats, costumed actors dressed as witches, evil clowns, zombies and other threatening looking creatures. We were led around the theatre to a small room under the stage where we were shown a short homemade film showing 2 actors killing Elvis, and as you walk through the darkened backstage, broken up into rooms, you meet some of the ghouls. It was fun, and at Tom actually Jumped when a scary evil clown lunged at him! (He never gets startled, so that was funny).

MY HALLOWEEN LIBRARY TALK- The lecture I gave was accompanied by a power point presentation, and referenced some of the things in my books. It was called "Outside the Paranormal: poltergeists, demons and near-death experiences."
This talk gives Rob's insights on what demons really are, the truth about poltergeist activities, and what happens with near death experiences and how they affect people later.
FULL HOUSE! - Lee at the library does an amazing job of spreading the word about events, and all of the chairs were filled. There were also a lot of great questions about ghosts, spirits, poltergeists, demons and orbs. One of the attendees had just watched the 1980s movie "Poltergiest" which is 100% inaccurate (because poltergiests are not ghosts!) and she was surprised.
Rob's books are all available in paperback, Kindle and audiobook. Click here to see them.
