Adam Wood brings to life the ghost stories of Victorian ghost hunter Elliott O'Donnell, with a Halloween dress-up theme and prizes for the best dressed.
Adam Wood brings The Master Ghost Hunter to The Albany Theatre in Earlsdon on Wednesday 28 October, a night built around the casebook of Elliott O'Donnell. O'Donnell was the self-styled 'prince of ghost hunters' of the Victorian era, and he spent half a century travelling the globe in pursuit of phantoms. His accounts covered everything from poltergeists to a Dublin ghost that allegedly tried to strangle him, and he filled more than fifty volumes before he died in 1965.
Wood delves into those casebooks to bring some of the stories to life, with the evening exploring the unexplained encounters O'Donnell collected over his long career. It's a look at the life of one of the world's best-known ghost hunters, told through the very cases he spent his life documenting.
The Albany itself is a multi-purpose arts venue in Earlsdon, housed in a historic Art Deco theatre. A recent refurbishment added brand-new studio spaces and a foyer with a bar, meeting area and box office. For this particular night, audiences are encouraged to turn up in Halloween costume, with prizes for the best dressed.
