Description

A look into the fascinating and chilling stories of California's haunted past. Understand the Golden State through the ghosts of its past with a night of haunting and curious tales from forgotten corners of California history. As Halloween approaches, KQED’s Carly Severn and Rae Alexandra host a company of journalists and community storytellers to recount macabre and murderous lore, detail the supposed visitations of local specters at sites of historic injustices, and reframe familiar legends and unsolved crimes. Through true-life stories and reporting, conversation, and audience interaction, this evening will unsettle California’s foundational myths to reveal lingering tragic cultural wounds, which—although they may never be laid to rest—deserve to be redressed and their lessons preserved with care. The full program and line-up of storytellers will be announced in early October.
