What do ghost stories do to you? Do they leave you scared, or incept your mind with fear that refuses to let go? In a first, Kommune — a collective of artists, producers, patrons, collaborators and art lovers — has organised a story slam that promises to leave you at the edge of your seat.

#ShiverSlam, to be held this evening, encourages those who enjoy a good horror story, to come forward and share their real-life encounters, which may not necessarily be creepy, but will make you believe in the paranormal, says Farishte Irani, a team member of Kommune. "When somebody presents a story honestly, even a sceptic is likely to believe it. That's what we hope to do through this slam," says Irani, adding, "Sometimes, the experience can be anticlimactic, but if it scared you, it's worth sharing."
