Do you love a scary story? Then you won’t want to miss “Haunted, An Evening of Ghost Stories in the Dark” at the Jeremiah Lee Mansion later this month.
Local director Peyton Pugmire, known for his biannual presentation of “A Christmas Carol” (which is off this year) at the Lee Mansion, decided to put on a Halloween-themed show this season.
“I love ghosts; I love spooky things,” Pugmire told the Current. “The mansion is a perfect setting to explore the supernatural.”
Pugmire explained the performance as “a collection of really entertaining, intriguing, spooky ghost stories, poems and local legends.”
The audience will be seated in the mansion’s foyer while actors read the stories and poems. People may spot a ghost of two as well.
The show is appropriate for children 10 years and older, Pugmire said.
“It’s definitely not a haunted house,” he said. “It’s a beautiful mix of the spooky and poetitc, eerie and mysterious. It is stylistically poetic.”
Some of the authors of the evening include Edgar Allan Poe, Henry W. Longfellow and W.W. Jacobs. The story of Marblehead’s wailing woman will also be featured.
The performance dates are: Friday, Oct. 25; Saturday, Oct. 26; Wednesday, Oct. 30; Friday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 general admission, $25 for Marblehead Museum members, seniors and children 12 and under.
