Position Responsibilities

About GHOST LIGHT

GHOST LIGHT is a 45-minute guided theatrical adventure that takes groups of 14+ndash;16 guests through a long-abandoned theatre steeped in supernatural history. As guests uncover the terrifying legend of the White Mountain Crone, they journey through haunted backstage corridors, eerie rooms, and a s+eacute;ance that quickly spirals out of control before culminating in a terrifying final confrontation with the Crone herself.
