Sleepy Hollow claims a monopoly on headless ghosts. But eastern Pennsylvania has a wealth of folklore about phantoms without heads. Richard Bigg, author of The Stream of Spirits, will share 5 tales of headless ghosts from Schuylkill County. Tales include headless miners, witchcraft, weird coincidences, and tragic rail accidents across Pennsylvania and New York. All ages are welcome, but adult supervision is recommended.
A native of Pottsville, Richard Bigg has decades of experience in paranormal research and investigation. He's compiled local tales into the book series, Strange Stories From the Skulking Stream. The third volume, The Stream of Spirits, tells the ghost stories of the Schuylkill River region. More information at: richardbigg.com
