Recurring Events & Workshop Series
Ghost Photography Workshop
Sundays @ 7PM: Sep 21st & 28th. Oct 5th, 12th, 19th, & 26th.
Local expert photographers Monsters of Salem will guide you through the eerie history of 19th-century spirit photography. You’ll learn how Victorian photographers may have used camera tricks, illusions, and storytelling to capture haunting portraits that convinced many they were really photographing spirits of the deceased. This hands-on workshop lets you step into the past and create your very own ghostly image. A perfect mix of history, creativity, and Halloween fun, this experience is available every Sunday night in October.

Mondays @ 7PM: Oct 6th, 13th, & 27th (continues in the winter)
