MARION — Over fifty people were in attendance for the first night of a six-week series called “Ghosts! Explaining the Paranormal”.

This course on the paranormal is being hosted by Saint Gabriel’s Episcopal Church.

Fr. Eric FIalho, the Rector of the Parish, has developed a course which explores what the wider Church believes about the topic of ghosts.

Participants were treated to a lecture with periods of questions and answers.

“It is obvious that people are hungry to try to make meaning out of questions about death, the afterlife, and orthodox Christian belief,” said Fialho.
