Why were people in medieval Britain so fascinated by ghosts and spirits? And what did these stories really mean? With Q&A.
Medieval writings are full of ghosts, demons, and strange beings said to haunt forests, rivers, and villages. These stories weren’t just for entertainment. They helped people make sense of death, fear, and the unknown. They also reflected tensions between old pagan beliefs and newer Christian ideas, as well as the risks of life beyond the safety of the village.
In this talk, we’ll explore how supernatural stories shaped the way people understood their world, and how they were used to support or challenge religious and social authority. Looking back at these beliefs helps us see how fear and storytelling have always been part of human life.
**Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!**
