What if the stories we share around Halloween are rooted in real history? Join authors Brandon Rugzie and Mitch Goth of <a href="https://hauntedus.com/wisconsin/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Haunted US</a> for an engaging look at the documented past and enduring legends behind some of Wisconsin’s most reportedly haunted historic locations. Based on their book <a href="https://oakcreek.countycat.mcfls.org/Record/.b4561457x?searchId=21272653&amp;recordIndex=1&amp;page=1&amp;referred=resultIndex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">30 Haunted Nights in Wisconsin</a>, this presentation explores the history, folklore, and forgotten figures that have shaped these sites—from grand hotels and storied theaters to cemeteries and small-town landmarks. Blending original photography, on-site research, and thoughtful storytelling, Brandon and Mitch examine how history and haunting intersect—and why these stories continue to captivate us today.&nbsp;
This free event is geared toward adults but open to all ages; children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. It will take place on Saturday, July 25 at 1:00-2:00 p.m. and will be held in the library's Multi-purpose Room located at 8040 S St, Oak Creek, WI 53154.
