What makes for better ghost stories around the campfire? How do you decide what kind of ghost story is right for what age audience? Why should you let imagination do some of the work? This workshop with Loren Niemi answers those and other questions about the how and why of telling ghost stories. Suitable for any level of experience, it looks at what kinds of ghost stories we tell and what makes them produce a scream or a laugh.
This FREE event is open to everyone via Zoom teleconferencing. After registering, you'll receive an email message with the Zoom link.
