Gather around for an evening of tales collected by renowned West Virginia folklorist Ruth Ann Musick, drawn from her classic collection, “The Telltale Lilac Bush and other West Virginia Ghost Tales.”
From strange happenings to restless spirits and stories passed down through generations, these are the kinds of tales that make you wonder…could there be a little more truth to them than we’d like to believe?
