As fall draws near and the leaves begin to change, thoughts turn to Halloween and stories filled with shadowy figures and ghastly ghosts. To ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy these wonderful stories, The Evening Sun is proud to announce the return of its “Ghastly Ghost Stories” competition.

The Evening Sun is looking for fictional stories about spirits, spooks and things that go bump in the night. This year’s competition will include categories for students in grades four through six, grades seven and eight, and two adult categories for those 25 and under and those over 25.
