PSG !EXTRA NIGHT TERRORS: Strange Encounters with the Other Side

October 17, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

$10
Online, N/A, Portland, OR 97207

Why do the dead come back? No one is really sure, but there are clues. You are cordially to an evening of ghost stories. Hear accounts of a haunted trailer in Greshem; of a state park in Hawaii, where no one dares spend the night; and of an old boarding house on Cape Cod, where a former lodger says that he was kissed by a ghost. Join storyteller, Alton Takiyama-Chung, for these and other stories, which may give you a little shiver and shed some light on the question of what may happen to us after we shuffle off the mortal coil.

Japanese-Korean storyteller Alton Takiyama-Chung, grew up with the superstitions and the magic of the Hawaiian Islands.  He tells stories of Hawaii, of the Japanese-American experience of WWII, and Asian folktales, and has performed at the Timpanogas and the National Storytelling Festivals, and at international storytelling festivals in the Cayman Islands, Singapore, India, Vietnam, and Thailand.  He also is a former Chairman of the Board of Directors for National Storytelling Network.

Join the Portland Storytellers’ Guild for this !EXTRA performance – from the comfort of your  home.  Just $10 per log in and as many can watch as your social distancing pace will permit.  Saturday October 17 at 5:00 pm (note the start time!).  Click here for tickets.  We look forward to having you join us for this special evening.
