The Life of the Dead: A Discussion on the Philosophy of Ghosts, Poltergeists, and Hauntings In-Person
Registration not required.
Is it reasonable to believe in ghosts? In this fun and informative talk, local teacher and storyteller Joe Wetterling answers that question with help from Greek & Medieval philosophy, giving his framework for thinking about the paranormal.
No special background is needed; this talk is open to everyone! We'll talk about famous ghost stories and give serious answers to some not-so-serious questions. Why are ghosts stuck in one place? Why do they wear clothes? Where are the caveman ghosts? Dog and cat ghosts?
