Source Saturday: Research and Ghost Walks with Matthew Komus (Winnipeg Ghost Walks)

Interested in incorporating some spooky history into your Canadian history teaching? So often we hear standard ghost stories but rarely have we heard about the stories BEHIND the ghost stories. Historian and Winnipeg Ghost Walk founder Matthew Komus talks about his approach to research and interpretation of ghosts stories, which are part of his popular ghost walks and in his two books on ghost stories: Haunted Winnipeg and Haunted Manitoba.

More about Matthew: 

Matthew Komus has developed programs and exhibits for many different museums and heritage sites in Manitoba. Topics covered include everything from hockey and haunted buildings (very popular), to modernist architecture and composting toilets (not as popular). His first book, Haunted Winnipeg, has been reprinted several times, and he looks forward to sharing more history from beyond the perimeter highway through ghost stories from across the province. Matthew operates Winnipeg Ghost Walk, the city’s first walking tour on haunted buildings.
