NASHUA – Could the spirits of Nashua’s past still roam in the very places that legends have long whispered about in local ghost stories? Whether you are a fan of ghost stories or simply curious about Nashua’s spirited past, come to the Nashua Historical Society, 5 Abbott St. on Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. for a program by Susanna Hargreaves, local writer and educator.

She will discuss some of Nashua’s most ghostly stories which are as rich and varied as the history they are built upon. From the bustling mills that once powered the city’s economy to the homes and streets where Nashua’s first settlers lived, Hargreaves will share spine-chilling tales of places like Clocktower Place, Martha’s Exchange, Mine Falls and Greeley Park.

After the program, enjoy refreshments and browse Balin Books’ pop-up shop, featuring The Ghostly Tales of Nashua, New Hampshire. Hargreaves’ new book makes a perfect campfire read or a unique gift for the ghost hunter in your life.

The venue is fully accessible, with padded seating, large restrooms, an elevator and a ramp from the free parking lot off Crescent Street.
