Only by choice at reputable shows: performers read the room, and the universal signals, back rows, avoiding eye contact, a polite headshake, are respected. Front-and-center seats plus enthusiasm are read as volunteering. If participation would genuinely ruin the night, email ahead or tell staff at the door; most productions happily flag you as watch-only. The listing's participation description means what it says.
A teller, minimal staging, and 60-90 minutes of local legends and true-crime-adjacent tales, often in a historic venue or by lantern light, spooky by suggestion rather than jump scares. It's genuinely all-ages at family sessions and darker at late shows, so match the session to your group. Arrive early for close seats; these shows land twice as hard in the front rows.
Expect to move, choose, and sometimes be addressed by name: immersive productions range from walk-at-your-own-pace haunted narratives to shows where small groups are separated. The listing always states the participation level, read it, and most offer a no-contact signal or spectator track if you ask. Wear shoes for standing 60-90 minutes, and arrive on time, since late entry often means forfeiting.
