What Was this?
A non-stop reading
of Ghost
stories over a 20 hour
period. Students, faculty, alumni, staff,
administrators, and guests will read from our favorite ghost and other
scary stories.
.
Why did you
do it?
Why not? Halloween and ghost stories go
together and we love an excuse to read and have others read to us. Then there's our delight at the power of
the word to shock, scare, awaken, empower, and change those who
encounter
it . . . oh, and we thought it would be fun! .....................................................................................
When
did it happen?
9:00 pm October 30th,
to 5:00 pm October
31st, 2008
..
Where was it?
in the University Center main lounge
