Revolutionary Spirits: Ghost Stories of Colonial New England

America has a unique and far-reaching history with stories of the strange and unusual, beginning with the very first settlers that arrived on these shores from England - and these tales only increased during and after the American Revolution. From the spooky story of the "real" Headless Horseman to the restless phantoms of soldiers and war prisoners to reports of George Washington's spirit wandering the halls of Mount Vernon to this day, there are a plethora of Revolutionary-era ghost stories to explore on the East Coast.

In honor of the Halloween season and the upcoming 250th anniversary of America's declaration of independence, the Ain't it Scary? with Sean & Carrie podcast will be host a short history of ghost stories with roots in colonial folklore and the Revolutionary War.

This is a hybrid program; patrons have the option of attending in-person at the library or virtually on Zoom.

Admission: FREE but pre-registration is required.

Location: This event is hosted by the Wallingford Public Library
