5 - 6 PM EDT/4 - 5 PM CDT/2 - 3 PM PDT/11 AM - Noon HST
Afraid of the dark? You will be after listening to ghostly tales from around the world! Stories range from benign Halloween tales for children to those that make adults uncomfortable to those that make even teenagers look over their shoulders into the shadows. Take a night in a haunted wax works, a faceless ghost, a
strange midnight visitor, a dash of urban legends, and blend well with several true stories of the bizarre and unexplainable and you have the makings of perfectly frightful time.

THURSDAY, August 6, 2020, 3:00pm-4:00pm MDT
5 - 6 PM EDT/4 - 5 PM CDT/2 - 3 PM PDT/11 AM - Noon HST
Mix together the magic and superstitions of the Hawaiian Islands with the history of Japan and Korea and you get finely-spun stories from a man rooted in a very unique culture and a one-of-a-kind perspective. All of this is combined and delivered with a deep sense of
reverence and authenticity. Not only does Alton Chung breathe life into traditional Asian folktales with sensitivity and deep connection, but he can also touch into the fire of ancient Hawaiian legends and tell them with passion and respect.
