Saint Paul Parks and Recreation and the Saint Paul Public Library invited writers of all ages to create original haunted stories or poems for Halloween 2020. Stories were reviewed by staff and judged for their creativity and spookiness.
The winning stories, read by guest storytellers, will be shared here and at park events this October.
Watch for one new story every day, October 25 through October 31!
