Ghost Stories Under the October Sky

Join us Friday October 16, 2026 for spooky tales told  at T.C. Steele State Historic Site.

Storytellers from the Bloomington Storytellers Guild will share stories 7:00-9:00 pm.

Hike down the steep trail to the darkness of the family cemetery where we'll gather to listen to scary tales --bring a flashlight and something to sit on -- and a warm blanket as the chills settle.
