I have to do a Halloween Story telling next week at Kingshill House. I have got several ghost stories up my sleeve mainly for older children and adults, however, my audience for next week is likely to be fairly young. This presents me with a dilemma because although they want to scared obviously it can’t be too scary! I am currently sitting trying to write something appropriate for younger children. I do tell a shaggy dog story at Wick Court which I could adapt and of course the folk tale Baba Yaga is a possibility. I will report in next week’s blog if I manage to come up with something.

Not  ghost pictures for the blog but the pictures below are  of a Tawny Owl and a Barn Owl. The male Tawny’s call of course is often associated with night time and Barn Owl is often called the Ghost Owl.
