Ghostly Encounters: Open Mic

Tue, Oct 21, 2025 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT

Join us for GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS, a spooky storytelling event at the Literary Arts Bookstore and Cafe!

There will be a sign up for the open mic where readers will have five minutes to enchant us with their ghoulish tales! Our only requirement is that these stories are true—or at least, true to you. Audience members will vote to decide who wins the title of Ghost King and brings home a special prize!

Each story should take five minutes or less to tell. Since spots will be limited, we will draw names from a fishbowl. You may bring notes to read from, but we encourage free flow, oral storytelling.
