What did Victorians believe would happen if you opened an umbrella indoors, spilled salt, or heard a clock stop unexpectedly? Why were mirrors covered after a death, and why did certain flowers carry hidden meanings?

Join us for an intriguing evening exploring the curious and often unsettling superstitions that shaped daily life in the late nineteenth century. Through an engaging lecture, discover the beliefs, omens, and traditions that influenced everything from weddings and funerals to luck, love, and the supernatural.

Following the presentation, guests are invited to wander through Barker Mansion on a self-guided tour, illuminated by the warm glow of candlelight. Experience the beauty and atmosphere of the historic home after hours as flickering lights and shadowed corridors evoke the elegance—and mystery—of the Victorian era.

Please note: This is not a haunted house, paranormal investigation, or ghost tour. The evening focuses on the fascinating history and folklore of Victorian superstitions and offers a unique opportunity to experience Barker Mansion by candlelight.

Please note: Program length may vary slightly depending on guest count and other event factors. All programs begin promptly at the scheduled start time. Guests may arrive up to 15 minutes prior to the program; earlier entry cannot always be accommodated.

Constellation Stage & Screen presents “Goosebumps The Musical: Phantom of the Auditorium ” on stage October 30th- November 15th at the Waldron Auditorium.

Get ready for a frightfully fun adventure with Goosebumps The Musical, based on the wildly popular books by R. L. Stine! When Brooke and Zeke are cast in their school’s spooky new play, The Phantom, they start to wonder if the show is actually cursed. As strange messages appear and rehearsals are disrupted by a mysterious masked figure, they must uncover the truth: is it all an elaborate prank… or is their theater truly haunted? Full of catchy songs, laugh-out-loud moments, and just the right amount of Halloween-season chills, this musical mystery is perfect for kids, tweens, and grown-ups who remember reading by flashlight. Fun for all ages!
