"Ghost in the Museum" author Isaac Hart discusses the deep origins of the spooky season. From ancient pagan traditions to modern panics over trick or treating, Halloween has always been the time of year that we welcome the weird and the uncanny into our lives rather than pushing it away, with often strange and surprising results.

Recorded Live at The Atkinson, Southport on Friday 31st October 2025.
