The forest is among the most familiar settings for myths and fairy tales, representing hidden places of the unknown, where danger may lurk in the shadows. Forests and woodlands often evoke feelings of mystery, magic and adventure. With that in mind, Fernbank Museum invites you to take a walk on the supernatural side with its Halloween-inspired exhibition, “Woodland Spirits.” Curator Bobbi Hohmann is the vice president of programming and collections for Fernbank Museum, and she joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about the outdoor experience, now in its fifth year at the museum.
