Event Details

Ghost stories may offer thrills and chills, but they are more than just sources of entertainment.  They can serve as unique windows onto our complicated history.  They can also materially impact the present, playing influential roles in contests over place.  Join us for a conversation with Judith Richardson, author of Possessions: The History and Uses of Haunting in the Hudson Valley, as she delves into the substance behind our region’s penchant for shady tales and explores how hauntings matter. This program will be presented via Zoom.
