The Bartholomew County Historical Society invites you to attend the third Evelyn Seward Speaker Series event of 2026 on October 8th, when paranormal investigator, writer, and researcher Matthew D. Jackson presents Haunted History and Lore of Bartholomew County. Jackson will share some of the stories he has uncovered through years of research into the intersection of haunted history and unexplained experiences.Since 2009, Jackson has explored the haunted histories and paranormal claims surrounding numerous local landmarks, including the Crump Theatre, Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, Viewpoint Books and the historic buildings of downtown Columbus—often digging through old newspapers, archives, property histories, and forgotten stories. He approaches the paranormal as an invitation to look more closely at history—not as proof of what happened, but as another reason to keep asking questions about the people, places, and stories we might otherwise forget.
Haunted History and Lore of Bartholomew County will take place from 6:00-7:30 at Helen Haddad Hall, 315 Franklin St., Columbus, IN, 47201. Admission is FREE thanks to funding provided by the Evelyn Seward Speaker Series Endowment.
