Boo!

Fascinated with things that go bump in the night? Think that deserted old house at the end of the lane is creepy? Seen every episode of Scooby Doo? (LOL)

If you love things that give you goose bumps, I just saw a notice for a program at the Missouri
State Archives that will be right up your alley. "Haunted Missouri: A Ghostly Guide to the Show-Me State's Most Spirited Spots" may not confirm that there are ghosts in your attic, but it should be a lot of fun.

Journalist Jason Offutt will talk about his travels throughout the state looking into all manner of creaky, shiver-inducing stories of ghoulies. I'm planning to go, and if you're in Jefferson City you can too. The talk is scheduled for next Thursday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Archives.

For all the rest of you looking to get your scare on, check out VisitMO.com for a list of haunted attractions and events. Perfect for the season.

Do you think this event would be of much interest to kids 13 and 10?

It sounds like a lecture which is fine but I'd be afraid they would get bored if it is not 'entertaining'.

Is there someone to contact about this?
