Details

Fear of the unknown drives us to avoid ladders, carry good luck charms, and knock on random pieces of wood. But why and how did the common beliefs take root?
Join us for a deep dive into the lore of this ancient and esoteric topic. Rewind to a time when thunder was unexplained, and black cats were feared to reveal why people around the world, and probably you, still engage in the rituals of superstitions. We promise, you absolutely will leave with at least one change of perspective.
Event will be in a seated format at the Museum of Howard County History, 8328 Court Ave, Ellicott City, MD 21043
Program is appropriate for guests age 13 and up, but you know your child best. Please use your discernment. As it's the tail-end of spooky season, costumes, cloaks, or other spooky attire are very welcome.
