AGM followed by The History of Hauntings
Jo Evans
A belief in ghosts has existed within society from prehistoric times and in ancient civilisations. Throughout time there has been a desire to reach out to the ‘other side’ or explain away strange happenings. This talk aims to explore ancient beliefs, folklore, spiritualism, and modern culture. Jo Evans is an Ancient History and Civilisation graduate with experience of archaeology and work at the British Museum. She now gives talks and tours for the heritage department at Tanners Wines in Shrewsbury.
