Ghost stories being sought

— The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History, KUAF and Northwest Arkansas Newspapers want to hear your ghost story.

On Sunday, Oct. 17, from 2 to 4 p.m., the museum will host “Ozark Ghost Stories Retold,” a chance for folks from around Northwest Arkansas to share their experiences.

The event will be taped for a museum podcast, a KUAF segment and a Halloween story in Northwest Arkansas Newspapers.

“We’re looking for personal experiences,” says Becca Bacon Martin, coordinator of the event and assistant features editor for Northwest Arkansas Newspapers. “We’re not interested in whetherthe story can somehow be ‘documented’, just that the teller believes his tale is true.”

Among those who plan to participate are author Abby Burnett, formerly of Gravette, and members of Paranormal Ozarks Investigations. Listeners are also welcome.

The Shiloh Museum is located at the corner of Johnson and Main in downtown Springdale. For more information, call 750-8165.
