First Half: Author Joseph L. Flatley will share his research on psychologist and writer Timothy Leary, examining Leary’s lesser-known interest in Western esoteric traditions alongside his well-known advocacy for psychedelic drugs. Flatley will explore why some came to view Leary as a hero of the American consciousness movement.

Second Half: Researcher of the strange, Chad Lewis, will explore the legends surrounding the rugged shores and vast waters of Lake Superior. He’ll recount stories of ghostly ships and mermaid lore, along with reports of UFOs, sea serpents, cursed locations, and wandering spirits.
