Looking for ghost stories!
Posted September 1, 2011 at 10:09 pm by Ian Byington
Just got this note from Sandy Strehlou (sstrehlou (at) fridayharbor.org) – sounds fun:
On Friday, October 28th, at 7pm the Library, The San Juan Island Visitors Bureau and the Town of Friday Harbor Historic Preservation Program are collaborating on a night of story-telling with the theme of island ghost stories and lore.
The event will be an entertaining way combine local history, historic buildings and sites, and Halloween in a fun and intriguing way. Not taking ourselves too seriously, we hope participants will share (as my five-year-old calls them) “true life stories” as well as with the unsubstantiated but always entertaining “urban (in our case rural) legend.” Here’s where you come in: I know there are lots of good stories out there and you may know some.
If you would be so kind as to respond with a brief description of your story, or even a story you heard third-hand, I would love to follow up and get the details. Identifying what stories exist before the event will help Robin Jacobson, Adrienne Bourne and I gather background information about the site or events surrounding the story. And of course we hope you will join us on the 28th. Either way, please write and share what you know, have been told, or seem to remember from tales told over the years. It’s all good fodder for a dark and stormy night of stories.
