Sharon Virts on screen and on air — a monthly television segment, a new history series for WJLA, and a podcast of long-form conversations. Three ways to sit with her as she pulls history into the present, one story at a time.
Some stories are meant to be read. Others are meant to be watched, heard, and felt in the room. This is where Sharon's work steps off the page — into the studio, onto the road, and into your headphones — to meet you wherever you are.
"History isn't a subject. It's a conversation — and everyone's invited."
— Sharon Virts

The Ghosts We Carry — Why the Supernatural Endures
A conversation about why the supernatural has fascinated people in every century and every culture — and why that fascination returns each fall as the nights grow longer and All Hallows’ Eve approaches. Sharon explores what our ghost stories reveal about grief, memory, and the human need to believe that something of us remains, and takes us into her research in centuries-old cemeteries, with a closing look at The Grays of Truth.
