The late summer and early autumn have traditionally been times of sickness and pestilence, even now. Local historian and author Laura Still specializes in Knoxville ghost stories and she calls this part of the year “The Days of Dread”. Still will lecture at Blount Mansion for a program called, “Days of Dread: Knoxville’s Historic Epidemics” and WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper spoke with her about how these epidemics affected Knoxville.
