Frolicking Chronicles

Parlor tricks or real life magic? The Victorian era: talking to spirits beyond in hopes of connecting with a loved one, and the rise of Spiritualism. Our dear friend Mark Willoughby Wood,  Entertainer, Writer, Producer, Historian takes us back through the decades of witches portrayed on stage and in literature. He also delights us with stories of Lyndhurst Mansion, one of America’s Castles, located in Tarrytown, NY. The location of the real Sleepy Hollow. Listen in, as Mark reveals interesting facts, haps, and behind the scenes “do tells"... Sharing an unconventional love story... and his revealing psychic session with Cheryl E. Booth.

Mark Wood's talent ranges from co-authoring several books with Kasey Rogers "Louise Tate" in the Bewitched '60s sitcom. As well as, his Historic Home Decor and Preservation work throughout Southern California: Stage Coach, Museum Square, Ioamosa, Chaffey Garcia and Chaffey Isle Houses. He has a vast resume of Holiday Decorating for many well known celebrities of the '50s and '60s eras. His most recent work is co-producing and costume design for the "Halloween" experiences at the Historic Ioamosa, formerly The Old Albert House in Alta Loma, CA.
