Ghouls Night Out: Spooky Storytime on State Street

Just in time for Halloween, Spooky Storytime is coming to State Street. The City of Santa Barbara’s Downtown Team invites the community to attend a live recording of the local podcast, "The Ghoul’s Guide to Santa Barbara," as the hosts share stories about the history and hauntings of State Street and Downtown Santa Barbara. Join the ghouls of the podcast on Friday, October 27 at 6 p.m. in front of 801 State Street, near the De La Guerra Plaza intersection.

The podcast event is just one of many initiatives this fall, bringing families together and fostering community involvement, in collaboration with Downtown Santa Barbara. For more family-friendly Halloween activities, check out the City's calendar and the upcoming events at Santa Barbara Public Library. 

About "The Ghoul’s Guide to Santa Barbara"
Three locals and long-time friends launched the podcast in July 2023. Weekly episodes focus on the dark, mysterious, and potentially haunted side of Santa Barbara and the surrounding Central Coast. Each episode dives deep into the lesser-known stories that have shaped our community’s shared history. From eerie, ghostly encounters, to unsolved mysteries, the podcast will have you experiencing Santa Barbara's history from an entirely new perspective.
