Original Haunting Tales – Ages 8+

On this episode we share two original stories, written by the winners of the Independence High School scary story contest. These stories are not for young ears, they are for brave souls who like their stories to simmer slowly (recommend ages 8+). The first, read by author Nathan, is titled, "Plastic Eye" a story that will chill you cold. Next you’ll hear a haunting tale by Graham titled, "The Singing Bay". This story will creep up on you, humming like the fog.

To kick off the Halloween season we have an interview with Ron Keres, author of "The Scariest Story You’ve Ever Heard", a Reader’s Choice Book Award Gold winner.

So… let’s set sail in our sieve to meet Ron Keres, hear an excerpt from his book, and have a little wordplay fun by making our own spooky onomatopoeia sounds….oh, and don’t worry, if you have little ones who scare easily, this story isn’t too scary!
