The History of Halloween: Folklore & Customs with Chad Lewis

Description

Chad Lewis uncovers the origins of Halloween traditions—where shadows lurk and whispers of the past echo—on Wednesday, September 30, from 6-7 PM in Manitowoc Public Library’s Balkansky Community Room. From trick-or-treating, scarecrows, and jack- o'-lanterns, to the folklore of bats, witches, and everything that lurks in the darkness. For over two decades, Chad Lewis has traveled the backroads of the world in search of the strange and unusual. Chad has been featured on the Discovery Channel's A Haunting, William Shatner's Weird or What, and The UnXplained, as well as ABC's Scariest Places on Earth, along with being a frequent contributor on Ripley's Believe it or Not Radio. With a Master’s Degree in Psychology, Chad has authored over twenty books on the strange and unusual. The more bizarre the legend, the more likely it is that you will find Chad there.
