Tuesday 10 March 2020, Dr Alec Gill MBE 'Superstitions: "Friday the Thirteenth" Special'

Join Hull's celebrated social historian and psychologist Dr Alec Gill MBE for this new talk specially geared around Friday the Thirteenth! Alec has studied superstitions for almost 40 years as part of his research into the fishing families of Hessle Road. Working in the most dangerous job in the world, Arctic trawlermen are the most superstitious of all seafarers - perpetuating primitive folk beliefs because they live constantly under the shadow of death.

Read more in Alec's e-book Superstitions: Folk Magic in Hull's Fishing Community-book - and don't miss his 'Friday the Thirteenth' special!

New members always welcome!
