On October 30 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. 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 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 begin 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, please bring your dream written down, if possible.

Have you had an encounter with the spirit world? Perhaps you lived or live in a haunted house? The centerpiece of the evening will be a MOTH-style ghost storytelling told by members of the community. If you'd like to share your ghost story (up to 5 minutes), contact the Sheldon at info@henrysheldonmuseum.org, and you'll be added to the program.

The evening will also feature live music from two students in the Middlebury College music department, light refreshments, and an opportunity to explore the exhibit. Costumes are optional and welcome. For more information: 802/388-2117 or visit: www.henrysheldonmuseum.org.
