Jean-Pierre Surrault examines beliefs about the dead in the Berry of earlier times. The lecture asks how revenants, spells and souls from the beyond figured in that world. Halloween’s popularity provides the starting point for these questions. The speaker is a doctor of history and president of the Académie du Centre. The meeting in Le Blanc is organised by UIPB.
