Contemporary Ghost Stories

Ghosts and gnomes and creepy things fill two nights of fright at the National Storytelling Festival's popular Ghost Story concerts, held on Friday and Saturday nights of the annual festival.

"As night fell, many people put on sweaters against the evening nip and set up blankets beside a glowing park gazebo to hear renowned tellers share ghost stories. The park was lit with tiki torches. A drooping willow tree cast spindly shadows. A creek gurgled nearby. I dare you to design a better ghost story venue."
