theVOM: Ghosts

  • coLAB Arts 9 Bayard Street New Brunswick, NJ United States (map)

RSVP:

New Brunswick's favorite Story Slam returns with a night of haunting memories, lingering connections, and the stories that refuse to leave us. Join us for theVOM: Ghosts, an evening of true stories told live, off the cuff, and straight from the heart.

Not every ghost wears a sheet. Some are people we've lost. Some are places we can still picture perfectly. Some are old relationships, childhood fears, family secrets, or versions of ourselves we thought we'd left behind. Whether they're comforting, unsettling, hilarious, or bittersweet, ghosts have a way of following us through life.

This month's storytellers will share 5–7 minute true stories about the ghosts that have shaped them. Maybe it's a supernatural encounter that still can't be explained. Maybe it's the memory of someone whose presence is still deeply felt. Maybe it's a decision, a regret, or a moment that continues to echo years later.

Expect goosebumps. Expect laughter. Expect vulnerability. Because sometimes the things that haunt us are also the things that help us become who we are.
