Ghosts: History, Culture, and the Logic of Horror - Talk & Walk

oin us for a unique Halloween experience you won't want to miss! The evening will begin with a lecture from Dr. Ryan McVeigh, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, whose research focuses on epistemological, existential, and normative disruptions monsters produce. The lecture will explore dark tourism, as well as the logic, historical, and cultural significance behind ghostly forms. Following this, participants will engage with these otherworldly terrors firsthand at the Leacock Museum's classic annual ghost walk. This event is not for the faint of heart, or those unwilling to speak with the dead…
Refreshments will be served after the ghost walk.
