About this event
Cornwall boasts a long folkloric tradition – From old tales of giants and fairies to accounts of elusive ghosts and Cornish knockers. Although quieted by the rise of Methodism, these stories resurfaced during the Victorian Gothic revival, and Cornwall once again emerged from the mist as a place of hauntings.
Exploring these themes, this exhibition takes a look at Cornwall, its land and its people, and asks the question…What makes Cornwall appear so haunted?
Children (and adults!) can also take part in one of our Haunted Cornwall activities, include a word search and a ‘Spot the Ghost’ challenge. Additionally, there will be a talk related to the exhibit – What Makes a Good Cornish Ghost Story – taking place at the museum on October 29 at 2pm.
