46th Annual Festival of Ghost Stories

Friday, October 29th, 2021

 It's time again for our annual gathering of storytellers to share spooky, scary, and seasonal tales in the darkness of Bryan Park. 

We'll be starting at 7:00 and ending around 8:30 pm.

You'll hear a variety of tales, some personal, some traditional, some surprising, some gruesome and stomach turning.... a Halloween tradition!

Bring something to sit on and dress warmly to avoid the chill (although some tales might give you shivers!)

Best suited for adults, teens, and older school-age people; may NOT be appropriate for younger children.

The Bloomington Storytellers Guild has been presenting the festival for 46 years.  This free community event is cosponsored by Bloomington Parks & Recreation and Monroe County Public Library.

If there is inclement weather, the festival will move to the MCPL Auditorium and will also be shown livestreaming. 

Check with Community Events Hotline at 349-3754 if there is a question about the weather,

and with the MCPL web site for live streaming information.

A mess of beans

Now that it is full Summer in Indiana, the beans are coming in.

This has been a good year for beans, 

 lots of beans,

lots of meals with beans.

Doesn't that remind you of a story?

 Yes, that story - the one that starts out with them picking beans

and the little boy can't stand another meal of beans without meat....

Richard Chase called it "Chunk of Meat"

but we all know it as

"The Big Toe."
