Local Author to Present on Ventfort Hall's 'Gilded Age Ghosts'
 |
LENOX, Mass. — Local author and journalist Jennifer Huberdeau will discuss the history and alleged paranormal activity surrounding Ventfort Hall during a Tea & Talk presentation on Saturday, Sept. 19.
The lecture, titled "Ventfort's Gilded Age Ghosts," explores the connection between the historic mansion and former resident George Hale Morgan, who died at the estate in April 1911. Huberdeau posits that Morgan's spirit continues to reside on the grounds, observing the mansion's operations and events. Her talk will cover the history of the Gilded Age property, recount reported paranormal encounters from interviewed sources, and share her own experiences at the site.
The topic stems from Huberdeau’s contribution to "Haunted Travels Anthology Vol. 2," a recent collection of 17 haunted destination stories curated by author and medium Sam Baltrusis. In addition to contributing the chapter on Ventfort Hall, Huberdeau served on the anthology's editorial team.
Following the presentation and a audience Q&A session, guests will be served a traditional Ventfort Hall English Tea.
Huberdeau is the features editor at The Berkshire Eagle and an award-winning journalist with over two decades of experience reporting on Berkshire County history and regional paranormal reports. She has previously appeared on television programs including New England Legends and Haunted Encounters: Face to Face.
