Performances
Die Nachtkrapp

Baba Yaga
1910s Finnish Farm | Every 15 minutes
Who is Baba Yaga? Find out more about this powerful figure in Slavic folklore in a short play featuring the KMP players. This supernatural old woman lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs and helps or hinders those passing through her forest. Could she be lurking in the woods of OWW?

A supernatural experience awaits those brave enough to join in a 19th-century séance, facilitated by a medium who attempts to communicate with spirits from across the veil.
St. Dunstan and the Devil
Blacksmith Shop | Every 5 minutes
Listen to the fable of a blacksmith brave enough to shoe the Devil’s cloven hoof. This English folktale sheds light on the old tradition of hanging horseshoes over doors for good luck – and why it may help keep “Old Nick” at a distance. Doors to the Blacksmith Shop doors will close for each performance.
Trial of the Beast of Bray Road NEW
Harmony Town Hall | Every 20 minutes
Join our storyteller for an eerie tale about a wolf-like creature named for the rural farm road where it was first spotted in Elkhorn, WI, in the 1930s. Sightings have continued to this day!

Anansi the Spider
Wagon Shop | Every 10 minutes
Enjoy this felt board “puppet” show based on a West African folk tale of a trickster god known as a rogue, a mischief maker, and a wise, lovable creature who triumphs over larger foes.
Tale of the Ridgeway Ghost
German Hill | Every half hour from 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Ready for a ghost story? Settle in as a storyteller spins the hair-raising tale of the Ridgeway Phantom, two gruesome 1840 murders, and why those unfortunate souls are rumored to haunt the town to this day. This scary yarn isn’t recommended for the littlest ghosts and ghouls.
