The darkened hall crowds in on you as you make your way toward the door. Then the silence is broken by something like a whisper. You strain to hear where the sound is coming from. Soon you realize that voices are talking β from inside the wall.
Join author, historian, and storyteller John Brassard Jr. as he tells you their stories: tales of legends, ghosts, and one of the most gruesome murders in Quad Cities history.
John Brassard Jr. is a historian, author, and storyteller who shares stories of unspeakable crimes, sinister spirits, and bizarre history. He has shared these strange and dreadful stories that your grandma didnβt want you to hear across the Midwest. John is the host and narrator of the podcastΒ Strange and Dreadful Things, and is the author of four books.
This event is both in person and virtual. Recording will be available after the program.
$5 per person; FREE for members
