About this Event

Why is 13 an unlucky number?

Why is it bad luck for a black cat to cross your path? Why do we throw salt over our shoulders? We still knock on wood, avoid walking under ladders and cringe if we break a mirror. Learn about the origins of myths and superstitions and their influence on modern society.

Master storyteller Bob Gautreau will lead this fascinating tour through the streets of Salem that will get you contemplating why we do what we do. It might make you less superstitious or even more!
