A hybrid event - in-person and livestreamed - details below:
'I heard a whining voice but saw no body in the room'
'We saw her and we saw right through her'
'I blinked just once and he had changed his shape'
Nell paces a path from dusty Mesopotamia, to Ancient Egypt, through Bloomsbury, London, along a dingey road at dawn in Guatemala, to her kitchen table - gathering up disturbing, unsettling, baffling, bewildering, sinister UNCANNY stories.
These are not literary tales crafted to scare you, or folktales, bloody fairytales or urban myths - these are spine-tingling tales told as true.
Who are these witnesses of these other-worldly acts? Why did they tell their stories? Do we believe in ghosts? A lively night of eerie stories told by one of the UKs most popular and dynamic storytellers, Nell Phoenix.
"A mercurial and captivating performer." - Exeunt Magazine
Also featuring music, tales from your hosts, fun and frolics!
