We need ghosts, we can't recon without them: Tim Grieve-Carlson on Shoemaker

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 99 "We need ghosts, we can't recon without them: Tim Grieve-Carlson on Shoemaker"   On this episode, we speak with local author, professor and folklorist Timothy Grieve-Carlson about one of our long-time subjects, Henry W. Shoemaker. Shoemaker was Pennsylvania's first state Folklorist, prolific author and preservationist who is responsible for shaping much more about our modern idealition of the people, places and stories we love. While the origins of some of Shoemaker's stories don't hold up to modern academic standards, the passion and perspective for the people and places he championed can't be called into question.   Please follow the work Tim is doing at www.timothygrieve-carlson.net   If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and [email protected]
