Westmoreland Speaks: Legends, Ghosts, and Witches of Early Western Pennsylvania with Tom White
Join archivist, historian and author Thomas White as he explores the history and cultural meaning behind some of our region’s early legends and supernatural tales. Hear the stories of Old Tom Fossit, Braddock’s Gold, and the legend of Oppaymolleah’s Curse.
Encounter the ghosts who haunt the Old Quaker Church, the spirits of escaped slaves and a confederate soldier on Duquesne’s campus, and the spirits of the Depreciation Lands Museum. Learn the truth about the Witch of the Monongahela, Judge Reddick’s contest with the Devil, the area known as “The Dark Place”, and many other spooky tales.
