Got a great ghost story? We want to hear it

Aside from all the great memes showing the shift that for many people happens from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1, there really is something to be said about the shift in mood that takes place almost overnight.

The air is crisper. The nights are getting darker earlier. The stories about things that go bump in the night start to appeal to our senses.

And let's face it: Whether you're a firm believer, a skeptic, or sure that ghost stories are all b.s., the fact is, most of us either have our own ghost story, or know someone else who swears by their experience with the unexplained.

The Inlander wants to hear your best ghost story for a piece we are working on that will explore local brushes with the beyond, paranormal investigation, and dive into why people want to believe.

Please share your story in THIS GOOGLE FORM in 500 words or less.

We may share snippets or your full story in print or online, and if you leave a name and contact information, you may hear from me. Alternatively, feel free to email me directly at [email protected].

Send in your best stories by Friday, Oct. 13, and look for our coverage just before Halloween.
