The Ghost Show: A Telltale Production

Alberta Abbey 126 NE Alberta Street #205, Portland, OR, United States

It’s been another strange year. Let’s make it even stranger with Telltale’s first special production, The Ghost Show, a night of celebration, mourning, community building, and creepiness. For us, ghosts can represent all the grief and loss of these bizarre and heavy years, the way the things and people we love are never really gone, and a way to get your heart racing in the middle of the night.

Telltale promises to bring you a makers market selling odd things, an opportunity to make your own ghost, live music, storytelling, opportunities to participate in the show if you like, ghost shaped snacks, and perhaps a few ghosts in attendance…
