The Crick Crack Club presents
UNCANNY
Performance storytelling by Nell Phoenix

‘I heard a whining voice but saw no body in the room’
‘We saw her and we saw right through her’
‘I blinked just once and he had changed his shape’

Nell Phoenix paces a path from dusty Mesopotamia, to Ancient Egypt, through London’s Bloomsbury, along a dingy road in Guatemala at dawn, and back to her own kitchen table – gathering up disturbing, unsettling, baffling, bewildering, sinister, UNCANNY stories.

These are not literary tales crafted to scare you. These are not folktales, bloody fairytales, or urban myths. These are spine-tingling tales told as true by one of the UKs most popular and dynamic storytellers.

Who are these witnesses of these other-worldly acts? Why did they tell their stories? And do we believe in ghosts?
