The flicker of the candle lantern beckons you to gather closer...
Then the stories and tales begin, returning you to a feeling long forgotten. A place of mystery, fear, and suspended belief, where all is possible. The storyteller weaves the tales, the atmosphere heightens your senses, and a ghostly presence is ever lingering.
