Sidewalk Storytelling in Corvallis, Oregon
Corvallis Storytelling: Live
What is Corvallis really hiding beneath its familiar streets? This live storytelling collection turns the city into an open-air archive.
Each walk is led by a trained local storyteller and reveals something different: a haunted corner, a forgotten building detail, a world-changing connection, or a forgotten legend.
$15 early, $19 general, $10 students.
Full Moon Ghosts & True Crime
During the spookiest time of the month, true crime meets suspected hauntings on this hour-long walking storytime. Come delve into the eerie world of ghosts, murder, and grisly accidents in downtown Corvallis.
You’ll spend an hour hearing hair-raising stories outside the downtown Corvallis locations where these hauntings, crimes, and accidents have been reported. And you’ll probably soak up a little Corvallis history along the way!
