Paranormal Presentation
with James McCann
Friday, October 16th @ 7 PM
James McCann from A.P.G./E.C.P. will join us for his Annual October "Spooky Time" Presentation! James is no stranger to Little Church and was the first Speaker that we've had on a regular basis, which sparked the idea for the full Speaker Series! James will present beginning with a screening of his latest film, "There's Still Nobody at the Bridge," sequel to "There's Nobody at the Bridge," and follow with his presentation on the science of Paranormal Investigation, the equipment involved, and sharing his latest findings, sound clips, and photos from investigations. There will also be time for Q & A.
We will ask a suggested donation of $6 per person for admission, the event being planned to be held in person with a Live Feed of the presentation segment to be available on our Facebook Page if technology cooperates!
James will also have additional merchandise available for purchase.
Additional Donations made to the church are always appreciated and go directly towards the continuing maintenance, restoration, and preservation of The Little Church on the Hill by The Elk Creek Township Historical Society. Enjoy the season with us while enjoying one of our most popular events!
