Program Is Part of Monthlong Clinton Country Reads
The Clinton Country Reads program is reaching a crescendo as its monthlong programming enters its final week when Wilmington College's Dr. Stephen Potthoff and Lee Bowman speak on "The Ghosts of Wilmington College" Monday (April 17), at 6 p.m. at WC's Watson Library.
PICTURED: Lee Bowman (LEFT) and Stephen Potthoff will speak on the College's storied history with ghosts, specters, apparitions, phantasms, phantoms, haunts and other unexplained phenomena.
The event is free of charge and open to the public.
Potthoff is a professor of religion and philosophy while Bowman serves as an assistant professor of religion and philosophy and cataloguer/reference librarian at the College's library. Their program follows the reading and discussion of the novel, The Sentence, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Erdrich on April 13 at two libraries in Clinton County.
Since The Sentence involves a haunted bookshop, it's especially appropriate that local ghost stories be told, especially ones involving the now 152-year-old Wilmington College.
