We're releasing a book of new and familiar stories just in time for Halloween! Kentucky Deceased is an 8x10 hardcover created in collaboration with Derby City Midnight. Inside are four tales of the strange and supernatural, complete with supporting documents and photographs. All beautifully written and designed by the awesome powerhouse duo!
1. The Kentucky og-Eater - a previously unknown and unreported on Kentucky cryptic that terrorized summer evenings throughout the 19th and early 20th century.
2. Lights Over Frankfort - a treasure trove of UFO sightings and encounters from Franklin county complete with Air Force investigatory documents.
3. The Ouija Board Transcripts - a showcase of the monolithic Ouija Board in the life of a steward of Frankfort and Kentucky history.
4. The Gray Lady of Liberty Hall - a comprehensive look at the tutelary spirit housed within the Brown ancestral home as well as an examination of ancestral spirits themselves and what they mean to a home, a family, and to a community.
Join us for a book launch at the Capital City Museum on October 1, 2024 from 7-9.

The Shakers at Pleasant Hill are most often remembered for their material practicality, spiritual asceticism, and unique song tradition; however, firsthand accounts of the Shakers reveal an apocalyptic religion which often veered into the esoteric and occult. Join your host Dr. Eleanor Hasken-Wagner as she welcomes Derby City Midnight's Zack Poehlein who guides listeners through tales of heavenly visions, ghostly apparitions, and channeled hymns.
