What some listeners have said...

"You tell amazing stories unlike anyone I have ever heard. Every time I hear you tell a story I get goosebumps." 

"You might think her writing can't be beat -- until you hear her talk!"-- Jim Marion Etter, Oklahoma author

"Marilyn a. Hudson is an amazing storyteller for audiences of all ages.  Her animated, sparkling personality lends itself toward spellbinding her listeners.  Her non-verbal communication skills seem to lift the listeners above the mundane ...

The Ghost Teller will be Back at the Overholser in 2013

It is the perfect combination.  An old, historic house with whispered claims of being  haunted by the gentle spirits who loved the home so well and a storyteller who specializes in sharing stories drawn from history, literature and her own imagination.  

Best of all is the fact the event will benefit preservation of a unique and fascinating bit of Oklahoma City History.   

Join storyteller and author Marilyn A. Hudson on October 25, 2013 as she and the staff of the 1903 historic mansion celebrate the season of shivers and stories.  Watch for news as to costs and resevations closer to the event.
