Gather tips, resources, and reflections to use as prompts for your own short stories and verse, developed in the dark shadows of your imagination.

Award-winning, internationally acclaimed storyteller Lyn Ford is one of the top twenty ghost-storytellers in the country. In this workshop, Lyn will lead you on a journey to discover tales, folklore, and ideas from Appalachia's haunted hills and valleys and Ohio's spooky cities and cemeteries. Gather tips, resources, and reflections to use as prompts for your own short stories and verse, developed in the dark shadows of your imagination. This workshop is a shortened version of Lyn Ford's successful online series for the John C. Campbell Folk School.
