Wednesday, June 22, 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Meet the Author: Steve Volk -- Fringe-Ology: How I Tried to Explain Away the Unexplainable-And Couldn't

Steve Volk remembers the loud booming sounds that emanated from the walls and the roof of his house late at night when he was a child. His family didn't know what the source of the noise was, but his sisters claimed blankets were pulled from their beds and that they saw an old woman walk through the closed door of their room. People uncomfortable with the inexplicable hear this story and attribute these episodes to faulty pipes or overactive imaginations. But others have no hesitation-the Volk family was visited by a ghost.

Inspired by the noise his family could never trace, reporter Volk brings the conversation front and center in Fringe-ology: How I Tried to Explain Away the Unexplainable-And Couldn't, a rollicking journey into the unexplored territory where modern science and the paranormal converge.   

What Volk discovers is that there is enough mystery left in the world to humble us all, and that out of this humility arises the opportunity to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our existence. Ultimately, he finds common ground we can all share-a place for skeptics and believers, spiritualists and scientists to stand together, not at the fringes, but at the heart of what it means to be human.
