Join historian Greg Caggiano for a look at the "other side" of history. As a seasoned paranormal investigator, Greg has always been interested in things that go bump in the night at historic sites in New Jersey. He has served on two museum boards over the years, both of which were haunted! Profiled in this presentation will be a Royal Governor's former residence, a Victorian mansion, a house with Revolutionary War notoriety, a cemetery, legendary road, and even a college campus. And what would a Halloween-themed talk be without a visit from the Jersey Devil? History and myth intertwine in this spooky program.
