Do you believe in Bigfoot? How about UFOs? A new Boston University class is exploring how people throughout the centuries have believed in the unbelievable — and what that tells us about our ourselves.

Lecturer William Giraldi teaches the course and joined Radio Boston to talk about it.

This segment aired on December 5, 2024.
