Do you need to talk to someone about the residual trauma of reading the Usborne Book of Ghosts in your school library?
Are you still having nightmares about the poltergeist story you saw on your local ITV news programme when you were six?
Have you spent the last forty years trying to identify the series you saw sometime between 1971 and 1979 and you can’t remember what it was but it definitely had the bloke from that other show and he was being haunted by a ghost played by thingy out of wotsit, and you’re at least 75% sure it was him? Or did you and all your mates know for a FACT that if you put a penny on a gravestone and ran around it three times, a ghostly hand would reach up from the school toilet and grab you?
If you have memories of terrifying childhood ghost stories that you want to discuss with a roomful of complete strangers, come to our support group! We might talk about The Stone Tape, Ghostwatch or even Rentaghost... but then again, we might not. It’s entirely up to you.
Hosted by Scarred for Life authors Stephen Brotherstone and Dave Lawrence, alongside Fortean Times writer Bob Fischer, the Scarred for Life Unplanned - Ghost Story Special is a two-hour unscripted conversation sparked by your memories of your 1970s and 80s childhoods.
Since 2018, Stephen, Dave, and Bob have been discussing the scariest telly of the 1970s and 80s to sold-out theatre audiences all over the country. Every show wraps up with an audience-led Q&A session that always seems to end too soon – usually with Ste, Dave, and Bob being thrown out of the theatre, still trying to list all the different heads from Worzel Gummidge. So, to compensate, here’s a brand new Scarred for Life concept – a show that’s all Q&A!
