| Join us for a book signing with Beth Brown, author of Haunted Plantations of Virginia. Ms. Brown will be signing books and sharing her interests in history and the paranormal from 1 PM to 5 PM on October 31, 2009 in the original Storehouse at Shirley Plantation. Shirley Plantation’s ghost “Aunt Pratt,” is featured in Haunted Plantations of Virginia and is for sale in Lady Cessalye’s Shop at Shirley. Complimentary warm cider and light refreshments will be available at the book signing.
Following the book signing, join “Aunt Pratt” at 5 PM for a walk to the family cemetery. This is the only time of the year when the family graveyard is available for viewing and the only scheduled appearance of “Aunt Pratt” from the spellbound regions. Mourning customs, ghost stories, and more will be shared with visitors during the walk along the river to the cemetery. |
