We have a winner! Nine of them, actually.
In October, we welcomed submissions for our 33rd Annual Ghost Story Writing contest—and you blew us away. Full of eerie emotion, the tales captivated us with their humour and thrilled us with suspense and creepiness. We were delighted by this showcase of talent and creativity and want to thank all the Halifax youth who submitted entries for this annual tradition.
While we scared up many submissions, these winning entries really made us jump out of our seats.
