A jack-o-lantern in the dark: The Science of the Supernatural
The University of Westminster presents the first of a series of 'Schrodinger's Chats'.
Ever wondered if ghosts are real? Or what it would take for a werewolf to actually exist? Join us for an evening of spine-tingling science where we reveal that the human body and the human mind are far stranger—and scarier—than any ghost story. Expect a mix of science, storytelling, and just the right amount of shivers down your spine. Fancy dress welcome!
