Eastgate Large Meeting RoomJoin "Chicago Haunts" author Ursula Bielski to learn more about our local supernatural history, just in time for Halloween!
An historian, author, and parapsychologist, Ursula Bielski has been investigating the paranormal for more than three decades. Ursula is the author of twelve popular and critically-acclaimed books on history and the supernatural, including the groundbreaking Chicago Haunts series and Graveyards of Chicago, as well as several books for the History Press and a number of academic articles on parapsychological subjects. Ursula has been featured on scores of television shows, including the Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures” and “The Maury Show” (NOT a baby daddy episode), and radio shows such as Coast to Coast and Darkness Radio. She and her husband, historian, journalist and author David Cowan, operated the Chicago Hauntings Tours for two decades. A lifelong Chicagoan, Ursula attended St. Benedict Elementary and High Schools and received her Bachelors degree in history from Benedictine University and a Masters in American cultural and intellectual history from Northeastern Illinois University. When she’s not doing fifty other things at once, she loves home canning, doing cozy things with her daughters and watching film noir.
This program is brought to you in partnership with the Cary, Crystal Lake and Huntley Area libraries. Abalabix Books of Crystal Lake will be on hand for book sales that the author can sign and personalize. We look forward to seeing you there!
