In a large country house a lady sits rocking in her chair by a window, the smell of apple pie wafting in from the kitchen while her two boys work outside, painting the building as they always did every year.
The lady's eyes turn from the view as young voices are heard tip-toeing through the house, the floorboard's creaking tells of their progress however much they try to be silent.
"This place is cool" one says as he discovers the room where the lady sits watching. "Let's tell our stories here!" says the other youngster, close on the heels of the first.
The lady sighs quietly to herself and vanishes, dissipating like a fine mist in a soft breeze.

Some of the tales were old, some were new, some were fiction and some were true! � We were treated to tales of terrifying horror that sent shivers down the spine and made you look behind you for fear that there actually was an unknown spooky terror about to lay it's hand upon your shoulder.� We listened to accounts the tellers actually experienced and, in hearing them, made us glad that it wasn't us that had the experiences!

We were treated to several terrific stories that were written by those who told them and other stories that were adapted works from masters of the genre.

Whatever the source and whomever told the story, they were truely something that should not have been missed. � If you were unfortunate enough to have missed them, here are the stories that were told over the three-day event, credited to those who told them and their authors, when known.

Be warned though!
Terror awaits within these pages!
Nightmares may follow your readings!
Oh, and what's that creeping up behind you?

Hope to see you next year!!!
