This is a deep dive into Hoosier Legends, Ghosts, and Places.  We begin with the Avon Bridge, where we dispel and validate some of the legends, folklore, and claims of Paranormal associated with the bridge.  Then, we delve into the History and hauntings of the Hanna House.  We dive into misinformation and claims of its long history of being an underground railroad stop and the Ghost of enslaved people buried in the basement.  Next we will discuss the Fowler Theater, located in Fowler, Indiana.  This beautiful art deco, for example, architecture harbors some fascinating spirits.  We finish with Greenlawn Cemetery vs. the city of Indianapolis.  Citing amidst the old Diamond chain site, this is the true poltergeist story, where they moved the stones but not the bodies.  In 2024, Indy Eleven was trying to build Indianapolis' first soccer stadium.  While under construction, more bodies are discovered.  We cover the haunting accounts of Diamond Chain employees' encounters with the Greenlawn ghosts.After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session for our audience.  This program is great for the curious and skeptic.

Join Brownsburg Public Library for an easy papercraft book series! In this series, taught by Gilda Amarante, you will learn how to build everything from simple accordion booklets to notebooks. In class one, Gilda will teach the steps to build an accordion book that will give you skills that can be expanded to have pockets, angled photos, and simple zines. The second class will be Accordion Surprises, bringing the accordion to woven concertinas and flag books. The third class is Explosions, where you will create booklets that unfold, like the squash/dragon, or farmer’s purse. And the grand finale class will be custom notebooklets that can become anything from a photo album, a scrapbook or journal. Each class will build upon the previous, so please be sure that you can attend all four classes before you register.
