Walpurgisnacht Ghost Story Contest
Campfire stories in between winter and summer.
Call it Walpurgisnacht, May Eve, Walpurgis Night, Lemuria, Lemuralia, Beltane... every culture has it. There are two times when Summer and Winter meet, when the air is full of paradox and turmoil, and when the seen and the unseen meet. The veil is at it's thinnest, and the spirit world is palpably close. One happens in October on the 31st, the other happens in April on the 30th.
It's halfway to Halloween, and time once again to meet with good friends, bring something to throw on the grill, sit down by the hot fire with a cold drink, and listen to warm friends tell tales to chill your blood.
Bring your spookiest stories. Listen to the tales of your fellow storytellers, and vote on your favorites. The best stories get prizes, for free. It's on us.
Prizes are spooky books from local shops. First prize gets first pick.
It's been a long winter. Come warm up by the fire with us. And tell us your tale. I'll have books to share with the winners, but win or lose, or just to listen and enjoy the fire, come share your tales.
We will be meeting in the evening, and telling ghost stories starting at 8 PM. We will be eating, drinking, and being merry until well into the night. Prizes announced at 10 PM.
We have backup plans in case of inclement weather. If it's too snowy and muddy at Homestake Lake, we'll invade Foreman Park. If it's a snowstorm or a downpour (neither of which are in the forecast for Homestake), we'll crash at the Geek Emporium.
