Spooky Tales for Halloween
Historical Presentation by David Glover
Doors open 2pm, Presentation starts 2.30pm
Local Halifax Historian, David Glover, returns to The Workshop for an evening of Spooky local tales.
David tells the story of how a curse on a Halifax pedlar helped convict a “Pendle Witch” in 1612; the 18th Century tale of Mrs Haigh of Shaw Hill, almost buried alive in Halifax Parish Church around 1770; and the apparent contemporary cases of human combustion involving sisters less than a mile apart, near Sowerby Bridge in 1899. David will also describe two non-local ancestral curses – The Headless Horseman of Chavenage, and the Monk’s Curse of Cowdray.
Tickets are £7 and available here or via our Box Office on 01422 323688 or admin@actorsworkshop.org.uk
