Watch Spotlight every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. on Channel 11
In this week’s episode, Spotlight gets ready for Halloween with a spooktacular lineup. First, we’ll look at St. Louis's role in the success of Houdini and ask: are spiders creepy monsters or harmless helpers? Then, we’ll explore the story of why ten thousand St. Louisans gathered to see a phantom horse and buggy, as well as a very odd museum full of haunted objects. Plus, we’ll feature an artist who uses recycled materials to create spooky items and share the tale of a woman and a spirit who wrote several books together.
