Stories of goosebumps, ghostly encounters and the things that still haunt you.
Confabulation, Montreal's original true-life storytelling series, is thrilled to return to the Montreal Intercultural Storytelling Festival with another night of stories, true as we can tell them. Join us for six stories, shared by the people that lived them. This month, our theme is Boo! Stories of goosebumps, ghostly encounters and the things that still haunt you. Expect the unexpected in this night of stories exploring the inexplicable.

About Confabulation
Since 2010, Confabulation has produced monthly true-life storytelling shows, featuring a range of both amateur and professional storytellers. We regularly feature artists, authors, comedians, and actors, while also supporting and promoting non-traditional and first-time performers. We seek to highlight a range of voices from our broader community, providing a space for people to share their stories in a supportive and welcoming community. Our podcast follows up on this mission — featuring some of our favourite stories from the live show, as well as conversations with the storytellers and producers.
