Synopsis
A grieving widow. A house with secrets. And an invitation to a seance…
When Clara O’Hare’s husband passed away, she felt her life was over. But when she moves into a new home to escape the memories, she may not be alone. Clara struggles to determine if she going crazy or really seeing ghosts.
Desperate to find answers, she attends a séance at Colonel Oroberg’s remote country home surrounded by a colorful cast of strangers: a “charming” rogue, a timid fiancée, a domineering mother, a brilliant scientist, an independant woman, and the enigmatic medium Wesley Lowenherz. But something sinister has decided to make itself known. When the guests start turning up dead it will be up to Clara and Wesley to uncover a murderer and find out what the spirits of the manor are dying to tell them!
Laced with gothic romance and paranormal mystery, A Spirited Manor is a fast-paced adventure that examines the journey from grief to purpose, and the return to life after loss.
“ The Victorian-era thriller, written by Seattle author Kate Danley in the high-handed style of Penny Dreadful pulp literature, combines several genres of horror stories, incorporating haunted houses, ghosts, supernatural demons, and even an Agatha Christie-style whodunit into its theatrical mix. ”- Vashon Beachcomber

Hartland Drama Club Presents "Radium Girls"
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, “Radium Girls” traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, “Radium Girls” offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science. Come see Hartland Drama Club present this incredible story at 2:30 p.m. at the Hartland High School Auditorium.
Tickets at www.hartlanddramaclub.org and at the door. In Advance: $14 adults/$12 students & seniors. At the Door: $16 for adults/$14 students & seniors.

Presentation: Genealogy Myths We Love To Believe
Where: Pinckney Community Public Library, 125 Putnam Street, Pinckney, MI 48169
When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 11:00 am - Noon
Family stories can preserve valuable clues, but they can also grow from misunderstood history, missing records, and generations of retelling. We’ll investigate some of genealogy’s most persistent myths, including surnames changed at Ellis Island, Cherokee princesses marrying into the family, immigrant ancestors crossing the Atlantic as stowaways, and a family coat of arms passed down to everyone with that surname. We’ll uncover how they began and why families hold onto them, and learn how to separate
a good story from good evidence without losing what
the story itself can tell us.
This is a hybrid presentation--In Person and via Zoom.
The presenter will be on Zoom. Registration information to follow. For more information, call the library at 734-878-3888.
