Lifelong Learning Lectures
Ghosts aren’t a key part in many supernatural medieval tales – but that doesn’t mean the dead don’t feature! This lecture looks at different medieval depictions of the undead from walking corpses to werewolves and goes on to consider the evolution in tales of haunting and what these medieval spectres might mean to us today.
