AASLH History Hour | October 2026

Is This Place Haunted? Join us for some spooky fun at October's History Hour, AASLH's free monthly online meet up.

At this History Hour, there will be three rounds of breakout sessions. You'll meet a new set of peers during each round.

Round 1: Tell us Your Ghost Stories
Share ghost stories that you've experienced or heard about at your site or historic sites you've visited.

Round 2: Back to History
When asked, "Is this place haunted?," what techniques do you use to redirect the conversation back to history? How does your site share beliefs about evil and how people tried to ward evil off? What scary things actually happened at your site or one you've visited? How was that history shared in a particularly engaging, memorable, or unique way?

Round 3: Spooky Season Programming
Share and gain ideas for programming at this time of year.
