The Sheldon Museum will host "Spooky Night at the Museum," an evening of pre-Halloween entertainment in conjunction with the Sheldon's current exhibit "Conjuring the Dead; Spirit Art in the Age of Radical Reform." The event is free and open to the public.The night will offer a range of spirit-inspired activities. Curious about what the future has in store? Penelope Wade and Sas Carey will provide tarot card, fortune telling and palm readings throughout the evening. Did you ever have a dream about someone who has died? If you would like to explore your own particular dream of a loved one (or pet) who is gone, join dreamwork practitioner Annie Perkins for a free, short session. First come, first served and please write down your dream, if possible.

Have you ever had an encounter with the spirit world? Perhaps you have lived in a haunted house. The centerpiece of the evening will be MOTH-style ghost stories told by members of the community. If you would like to share your story (up to 5 minutes) contact the Sheldon: info@henrysheldonmusuem.org, to be added to the program.

The evening will feature live music by two students from the Middlebury College music department, light refreshments and an opportunity to explore the exhibit. costumes are optional but welcome.
