This Thursday evening (Oct 10) 7-9pm: local author Sam Baltrusis will read from his new book “Ghosts of Cambridge: Haunts of Harvard Square and Beyond”, at the Central Library, 79 Highland Ave.

Hear about apparitions that frighten freshmen in Harvard's Weld Hall, the Revolutionary War ghosts that haunt the estates of Tory Row and the flapper who is said to roam the seats of Somerville Theatre. Using research and firsthand accounts, author Sam Baltrusis delves into ghastly tales of murder, crime and the bizarre happenings in the early days of Cambridge and surrounds to uncover the truth behind some of the city's most historic haunts.

Stay after and meet the author, plus enjoy cider and pumpkin-spice donuts. More info at http://www.somervillepubliclibrary.org/
