# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Sandbar Lecture - A Colonial Apparition: A Cape Fear Holiday Story
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 09 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 09 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: First written in the late 19th century by famed local historian James Sprunt, “A Colonial Apparition” is a unique tale of local history that recounts a ghost story that supposedly happened on a snowy Christmas Eve on the Cape Fear River. In the dark stillness of a White Christmas, Sprunt’s story is a fascinating and chilling capturing of Wilmington’s Colonial history, its Scottish heritage and the promise of its future at the turn of the 20th Century.

Hunter Ingram, assistant museum director for the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, will tell us that story at this month’s Sandbar Lecture. Hunter joined the house in 2021, having previously worked for the Wilmington StarNews and the Old Baldy Lighthouse on Bald Head Island. At the newspaper, Hunter hosted the award-winning podcast, “Cape Fear Unearthed,” which
explored the region’s history one story and episode at a time. When he started at the Burgwin-Wright House, he launched a new local history podcast called “Burgwin-Wright Presents…,” which has led to a hugely popular series of walking tours and river cruises that bring history to new audiences.

The Museum’s Sandbar Lecture Series is designed to inspire curiosity about regional history, coastal ecosystems, and diverse wildlife. Local subject-matter experts deliver lively, interactive presentations on a variety of fascinating topics for all visitors. 

All one-hour Sandbar lectures are free with Museum admission. The Museum opens at 4:30 p.m.
