Paranormal Week 2011

September 5, 2011

In recent weeks, things have become decidedly hectic at Rosney Towers. For one, I am currently working on two very interesting projects (more about those in a later posting), and for another, it is rapidly approaching October, meaning that its almost time for this year’s Paranormal Week at Halton Lea Library in Runcorn, Cheshire.

For those of you not in the know, for many years I have been fortunate to be involved in organising and staging paranormal themed events for Halton Libraries. The jewel in the crown of these activities is their annual week long celebration of all things paranormal titled ‘Paranormal Week’.  Since its humble beginnings back in 2002, the yearly event has grown in both scale and popularity, and has boasted many special guests/Paranormal movers and shakers over the years, with guest appearances from luminaries such as Matt Smith (Most Haunted), The Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe (Fortean TV), Demonologist Fred Batt (Most Haunted), Medium Angela McGhee (Living TVs Psychic Investigator) and Rendlesham Forest Incident whistleblower Larry Warren to name but a few.

I am delighted to announce that this is our 10th year! So we aim to make this year’s event a very special one indeed.  Final preparations are underway, and a full timetable will be available soon.  If you would like to receive an email copy of the timetable and programme, send an email to the team at: paranormalweek@gmail.com

The event is running every evening from  6:30pm  – 9:30pm: Mon 24th to Fri 29th October at Halton Lea Library, Runcorn, WA7 2PF

The event is FREE!!!

Confirmed Speakers for this year include:

TV Presenter and Author Mark Olly talking about UFOs (More details can be found on my colleagues and co-organisers, Eximius, blog pages http://eximiusparanormal.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/paranormal-week-2011-ufo/)

and a rather special night of Occult Horror presented by the Twisted Tales team:

Ramsay Campbell, Adam Nevill John Reppion (For more details visit the Eximius blog: http://eximiusparanormal.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/paranormal-week-2011-twisted-tales/)
