Show Notes

A 1968 Halloween “Spook Show” in the Midwest left an unsettling heritage of urban legends possibly rooted in even more unsettling facts.  What little is definitively known regarding this event comes from the newspaper archives of the Danville News-Gazette, in which we find a short October 28  promo piece in the “Entertainment” section featuring this photo presumed to be of the impresario behind it all, J. Jolly.

“Dr. Killer Hertz” will speak to “Space Spirits” (courtesy News-Gazette).

There is also this advertisement for the event:
