MARCH PROGRAM: What is Haunting the Andrews Homestead? Presented by Julie Griffin

Tuesday, March 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Meriden Public Library Griffin Room. (105 Miller Street)

Interested in seeing ghostly photographs taken in our community, and hearing spirit voices caught on EVP (Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are electronically generated noises that resemble speech, but are not the result of intentional voice recordings or renderings.)?

Join us for an evening discussing spirit photography and of what is haunting the Meriden Historical Society’s Andrews Homestead – presented by Julie Griffin.

Ms. Griffin (no relation to the room) is a photographer and, since 2008, a paranormal investigator. She visits locations reported to be haunted and documents the experience with her spirit photography. The visits often lead to intense personal experiences…

The program is co-sponsored by the Meriden Public Library. It is free and open to the public.
