The Strange & Spooky World of James A. Willis In-Person
“How did he get so weird?”
Far and away, it’s the question James A. Willis gets asked most often. So what better way to answer it than by sharing the strange, spooky, and sometimes downright odd things that helped make him who he is today?
In this special presentation, Willis takes audiences inside his upbringing deep in the heart of New York’s “Headless Horseman” country and traces how that early fascination grew into more than 40 years of researching, writing about, and chasing strange stories across the United States. Along the way, he’ll discuss how he got started exploring ghosts, monsters, UFOs, and urban legends; share a behind-the-scenes look at his writing and research process; and present audio, video, photos, and stories from some of his favorite strange and spooky places, including a few from the Hoosier State!
This presentation is suitable for ages 10 and up!
