Sam Baltrusis, author of Ghosts of Cambridge: Haunts of Harvard Square and Beyond

Join us as we welcome local author Sam Baltrusis who will read from his new boo, Ghosts of Cambridge: Haunts of Harvard Square and Beyond.

As one of the nation's oldest cities, Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a

tumultuous history filled with Revolutionary War beginnings, religious

persecutions and centuries of debate between Ivy League intelligentsia. 

It should come as no surprise that the city is also home to spirits

that are entangled with the past and now inhabit the dormitories, local

watering holes and even military structures of the present.  Discover

the apparitions that frighten freshmen in Harvard's Weld Hall, the

Revolutionary War ghosts that haunt the estates of Tory Row and the

flapper who is said to roam the seats of Somerville Theatre.  Using

careful research and firsthand accounts, author Sam Baltrusis delves

into ghastly tales of murder, crime and the bizarre happenings in the

early days of Cambridge to uncover the truth behind some of the city's

most historic haunts.
