Hosts Cindy Campbell-Stone and Christine Hennebury welcome you to Telling Spooky Stories, a chat about the ins and outs of telling ghost stories and other creepy tales.

Here are some of the things we’ll consider:

Why do you choose to tell scary stories?
How do you choose which ones to tell?
How do you judge when a story will be TOO scary for your audience?
How do you create a good atmosphere for your tales?
What do you say if someone asks if your story is real?
Join the conversation to share your experience and expertise and maybe even pick up some new ideas.
