Scary Ghost Stories: A Victorian Christmas Tradition
Presented by Famous Artists Limited
December 4-8th & 11-15th from 7pm to 9pm
Join us in the historical Roedde House parlour for the once-popular Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas!
DETAILS:
Telling
ghost stories at Christmas began in England in the 1700s. Roedde House has
revived this tradition in recent years at the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Winchester,
aided last year by their faithful butler Mr. Tomes as portrayed by Vancouver
favourite, Bernard Cuffling.
This
year, 1911, the Winchesters, and Tomes, are off travelling Europe and destined
to return next April aboard a brand-new luxury ocean liner!
Adele,
the maid, forgot to send out notices cancelling the annual party and so, the
Winchesters’ guests (you) have shown up! Cornered, but unafraid, the ghostly
tales will be delivered by the “help” of Roedde House, Adele the maid and Tom
the stable boy (it’s 1911, there are still stables).
Left
to their own devices, these two will pillage the Winchesters’ liquor cabinet
and high end bon-bon boxes (and share the bon-bons) and then entertain the
guests with the most chilling of the Winchester’s collection of Victorian ghost
stories and a few Christmas carols.
Daniel
Merlo, from Cap University, recently starred in “The Woman in Black” at the
Metro Theatre. His sense for the macabre is top drawer and his partner in this
crime will be actor and theatrical stalwart, Angeles Paz-Latapi as Adele the
maid. Tea and treats will be served at the interval and visitors can expect the
same candle-lit aura of spookiness that always accompanies a Christmas ghost
story-telling at Roedde House.
“It’s crucial these stories be read aloud before
the listener takes their bleak, shadow-filled walk from the parlour space to
their cart, or home. To capture the Victorian ghost story experience is to
whisper it by candlelight, to feel the tendrils of the winter’s chill reaching
from the darkness outside the hearth’s glow.” – George Winchester
So welcome to Roedde House for a Christmas
experience like no other!

Roedde House Museum is the restored home of Vancouver's first bookbinder, Gustav Roedde. It was built in 1893 and its design is attributed to famed architect Francis Rattenbury. The interior has been restored and authentically furnished to look as it did in the late 1800s.
Income from events goes directly towards the continued preservation, restoration, and maintenance of the house, as well as the continuation of its programs.
