Presented by Wonder Monger & Cambridge Storytellers Nell has trodden dusty streets at dawn, peered into neglected glass cabinets and sat in the dark feeling that she is not quite alone, compiling supernatural stories from Ancient Egypt, the back streets of Guatemala to Nell’s own kitchen table.. All the stories share a thread – They were written down as true, told as true, or true experiences… about the strangest encounters, inexplicable events and voices that whisper in the dark. The question is… ‘Do you believe in ghosts? ‘One moment I was laughing so hard and the next, I had chills running down my spine’ – audience feedback for UNCANNY Beeston Storytelling Club Nell is a full-time, London-based, performance storyteller working, in the UK and globally, with a repertoire that wildly ranges through folk, fairy, urban tales and mythology.
