What am I working on right now?
Foundational Spirits: a Hauntology of Georgia at the Hapeville Depot Museum
Join (me) at the Hapeville Depot Museum for a presentation about Georgia’s intersection of history and folklore. Learn about the history behind ghost stories both here in Hapeville and across metro Atlanta. What’s fact and what’s fiction? How does a haunted house reveal truths about the past? And how, exactly, do we square history and the paranormal?
