Kristen Clay has circled the globe as a storyteller, actor, teacher, and perpetual student. She is the creator and director of Story Tours: Ogden & Salt Lake City Ghost Tours, Hysterical History Tours, and many custom storytelling concerts. She has been a featured teller at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and is a regular teller at the WSU Storytelling Festival. Kristen is well known for bringing the islands of Polynesia alive as she shares Hawaiian Ghost Stories (Obake Tales), blending ancient mythology with modern phenomena. She also has a passion for healing and inspirational stories, which she has been privileged to share in schools, prisons, rehab facilities, and with youth in custody. Her greatest joy is watching her audiences and students make connections with different cultures and experiences, then remember their own stories. Kristen currently resides in Utah. When not writing or performing, she enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, spending time in nature, and hanging out with friends, family, and her menagerie of pets.
