Shadows and Spirits: The Haunted Origins of Halloween and the Victorian Fascination with Death

October 31 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us at the historic Fauntleroy Home for a “spirited” evening of history, mystery and the macabre.  Step beyond the veil and into the eerie elegance of the past while exploring the roots of Halloween, the rise of the American Spiritualist Movement, and the somber beauty of Victorian mourning traditions. With authentic artifacts, chilling anecdotes, and a thoughtful examination of the line between the living and the dead, Shadows and Spirits is ideal for mature audiences seeking more than just a scare.
