Poster for Halloween lecture

Join history professor Mark Mirabello for his annual Halloween lecture on paranormal history in the Flohr Lecture Hall, Clark Memorial Library room 204, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 30.

Learn about all types of sorcery and forbidden lore. Modern, mythical and more, Mirabello explores a variety of both famous and lesser-known spooky stories. Beware! The lecture will cover secret knowledge that the world wants to protect and is not for children.

Enjoy refreshments while listening to tales of the world’s horror and magic. The topics will include (but are certainly not limited to): vampires, werewolves, monsters, magic and more!

In the early 2000s, Mirabello began giving his Halloween lecture on campus. It began in the University Center and has taken place in several locations across campus and even off campus at Patties and Pints. He has no plans of stopping the lecture any time soon.

About the Contributor

Hannah Kline, Staff Writer

Hannah Kline was born in 2003 and grew up in the small town of Minford, which is about a 30-minute drive from Shawnee’s campus. Hannah appreciates being close to home and said that proximity was a big factor in her decision to attend Shawnee. As a child, she always wanted to be a mermaid when she grew up. Hannah is not a mermaid, but she is a sophomore history major at Shawnee State. Having ambitions to be a mermaid is not the only interesting fact about Hannah. She can also play the ukulele and has two cats, Carl and Nelson. Hannah is not a big sports fan, but she does enjoy watching the Columbus Crew soccer team (based in Ohio's capital city about 90 miles away). Having grown up in a small town, Hannah enjoys the fact that SSU is close to home and an easy campus to navigate without getting lost. She says the best advice that she has received thus far is to take classes that you enjoy to help figure out your passions if you are unsure about your major. Hannah's advice to other students is to get your work finished as soon as you can.
