Haunted Lighthouses of the Seacoast Walk

Two nights only October 2nd and October 16th at 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm in New Castle, New Hampshire at the Great Island Common. Enjoy an autumn candlelight walk by New Hampshire's seaside and hear legends and lore by a cloaked guide. Walk alongside glowing pumpkins and view the lonely lighthouse beacons as they shine their lights into the night. Hear about the ghostly woman in white on Boon Island, ghost ships, lighthouse mysteries and other haunting tales. There will be a table of lighthouse goods for sale, plus buy glow sticks for the kids! Refreshments available. Each tour will take about an hour.

These walks sold out last year! Call early! $10.00 adults, $5.00 for children under 12. 100% of the proceeds go to the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse for lighthouse preservation efforts. Email RoxieFFCC@aol.com or call 207-439-8905 for reservations.

For those who are interested in the results of this event. Over $2000 has been donated to the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse as a result of my walks. They were so popular in fact, I added an additional tour on the 16th to try and accommodate interested parties. Over 300 people attended these walks, many people driving as much as 2 hours one way to come to the event. It was even mentioned on NECN during a morning broadcast. All 5 walks sold out, and if time permitted many more walks could have been sold, as many people were turned away, due to there not being enough room. The 8:00 pm walk on 10/2, was subjected to severe downpours during the majority of the walk, out of 60 people who attended this walk in the rain - 0 people left. During the 8:00 pm walk on the 16th, 3 deer walked through the area of the walk, a completely magical moment. Many people became educated about local lighthouses, and the plight of lighthouses in general, which makes these tours even more of a success. Thank you to those who supported these ghostly lighthouse tours.

Congratulations on a very successful event, Roxie, and thanks for your dedication to helping lighthouse preservation. It is great to be able to do such an event and have that many folks want to participate!

Gee, on the rain walk I wonder if you had the folks convinced the ghosts would get them if they dared to leave??? (tic)

Couldn't resist when I saw the word haunted.
