Eerie Quad Cities: Strange and Unusual Tales from the Quad Cities Area

Eerie Quad Cities: Strange and Unusual Tales from the Quad Cities Area

Join authors Michael McCarty and John Brassard Jr on Saturday, October 2nd at 2pm at the Fairmount Street Library for a talk about the haunted history of the Quad Cities. Like the mighty Mississippi River that cleaves the Quad Cities, the region's history can trap the unwary in some unexpected eddies. Peer through the fog of the past to catch a glimpse of the Tinsmith Ghost of Rock Island or the river serpent with a price on its head. Get the back story on the Banshee of Brady Street, read the 1869 report on a Bigfoot sighting near East Davenport and run the numbers on local UFO activity. From phantom footsteps in the Renwick Mansion to a mausoleum heist in Chippiannock Cemetery, Michael McCarty trace a path through the shadowy heritage of the Quad Cities.

Registration is required.
