Rochester Main Street volunteers in cooperation with Jetpack Comics and Seacoast Saucers will celebrate a new festival in downtown on Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19 when they visit the unusual with the Paranormal/UFO Festival. A featured event will be the offering of two “Haunted History” Tours, one at 11 am and another at 3:00pm with noted Medium Isabeau Esby and local historian Martha Wingate. Tours are limited to 20 persons each and tickets must be reserved in advance by visiting our website at www.rochestermainstreet.org and using paypal. The cost of the tour is $5 per person. Tours will leave from Factory Court promptly at their assigned times and end up at The Cast & Grind for complimentary cider and a doughnut.
The tour process began in summer of this year when Isabeau Esby, international psychic medium, author and spiritual teacher visited several of our downtown area buildings for possible inclusion in a haunted tour. Isabeau was accompanied by note taker Charles Creteau and a videographer to record any “findings”. In a separate area, local historian Martha Wingate has researched the buildings that were visited, and the two will come together on Saturday, September 19 to give two “Haunted History” guided tours. Isabeau has been tested by Kitt Research Institute for her accuracy in mediumship, and Martha Wingate has guided many a historic tour in Rochester over the years.
The festival begins on Friday, September 18 with a “Skywatch” presentation at 7:30 pm in City Hall Chambers in partnership with the NH Astronomical Society. Following the presentation (weather permitting) we will adjourn to the Rochester Commons where attendees will have the chance to search the heavens through telescopes. (There is no charge for attending this event).On Saturday the Festival opens at 10 am with vendors and demonstrations in the Union Street Parking Lot behind Jetpack Comics. Starting at 10:30 am the Rochester Public library will screen two free movies: Close Encounters and ET, and at 11 am the first of two “Haunted History Tours” will step off from the tent at Factory Court. The cost for the tours are $5 per person and you must RSVP and pay in advance at www.rochestermainstreet.org) Throughout the day guests may also visit with mediums and tarot readers at several local business, and a second Haunted History tour will be offered at 3:00 pm.
