Through the magic of Power Point, your guide will take you through forgotten Anoka to hear the stories of the people who once lived there and, according to some, are still hanging around. During this presentation, she will tell you of long ago Anoka—of the Jackson Hotel, now Billy’s, the old Post Office, Colonial Hall, the Masonic Lodge, and some infamous residences, all haunted, of course.
June is the author of ten published books; two of them histories with a paranormal twist, along with a fictional multicultural mystery of supernatural proportions. She has traveled on the dark side to five different Old World countries with her group of paranormal peeps. It is upon her travels to three of them, Ireland, England, and Transylvania in Romania, that her hour-long PowerPoint presentation, “Tracking Dracula,” is based for you to enjoy in the comfort and safety of your armchair. June was also an Anoka County Historical Society Ghost Tour Guide for ten years and has taken part in numerous paranormal investigations. As well as being on familiar terms with the Anoka Ghosts, she has traveled to Ireland, England, and Romania to meet theirs.
