Join author and documentary filmmaker Michael Keene on Thursday, February 9th at 7:00 pm  for a fascinating discussion of his works on the history and mystery of Rochester.

Born from the chilly waters of Lake Ontario and the Genesee River, Rochester is the cradle of the modern spiritualist and anti-Masonic movements, as well as 7 new religious sects and communes.  This unusual history has given rise to strange legends and shrouded the city in mystery.

Was the corner of Main and Elm Streets – McCurdy’s Department Store – cursed?  Who was Captain William Morgan, and why did he suddenly disappear?  What stories lie behind Rochester’s first murder and the execution of William Lyman’s killer?  What is hoodoo, and who is the Hoodoo Doctor?  Native American tales, the history of the infamous Fox sisters and the secrets of the Freemasons are woven into these and other legends of Rochester.

Copies of the book Folklore and Legends of Rochester: The Mystery of Hoodoo Corner and Other Tales and award-winning documentary Visions: True Stories of Spiritualism, Secret Societies and Murder will be available for purchase.  For more info on Michael and his works, click here.   Contact the library to register.
