The ghosts and legends of Western Pennsylvania will be the subject of a presentation at 6 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Butler Public Library, 218 N. McKean St.

Join author, historian and folklorist Thomas White as he explores the history and cultural meaning behind some of the region’s supernatural legends. Hear the story of whispering dead beneath the Black Cross, the ghostly woman of Summit Cut Bridge, the phantoms of Pittsburgh’s steel mills, and the ghosts and cults that stalk Blue Mist Road. Learn the truth about the curse at the old Quaker Church, Judge Reddick’s contest with the devil and many other spooky tales.

No registration is required. For more information, contact Dianne at dmccauley@bcfls.org or call the Butler Area Public Library at 724-287-1715.
