The Haunting Hours: Frights, Flights & Folklore
This Halloween, something wicked this way comes!
Join Patchwork storytellers Denise McCormack, Ingrid Bohn, Phil Moore, and Christina Sturgis for The Haunting Hours: Frights, Flights & Folklore — Plus Open Mic Story Swap, a virtual night of eerie tales, chilling lore, and legends that linger long after the lights go out.
The evening unfolds in two spellbinding rounds:
First, lighter frights to tease your imagination and unlock your fancy.
Then, deeper haunts and hair-raising horrors that follow the spiders straight into your darkest corners.
After the curated tales, the stage opens for an open mic swap, giving storytellers from across the nation a chance to share their own legends, myths, and ghostly lore.
Whether you delight in ghostly giggles, shiver-inducing frights, or tales that spin webs across generations, this free event promises a night of storytelling that will haunt you long after it's done.
