Literary Ghost Walk Returns

Ghosts of famous authors will be roaming the Downtown Bend Library the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 29. Visitors of all ages can take a haunted stroll through the stacks to meet the spirits of Edward Gorey, Dorothy Parker, Shel Silverstein, Toni Morrison and more. Visitors will receive a Ghost Walk Passport to collect stamps from each author. That can be exchanged for a book or toy at the end of the evening. There will also be live music and crafts. Costumes are encouraged.

Enter If You Dare 

If you’re seeking an especially haunting experience, the ScareGrounds in Redmond are now open in Redmond. There are two creepy options: “The Asylum for the Criminally Insane” and the “Demented Toy Factory.” The Asylum is where abandoned patients, alive and dead, roam around terrorizing those who dare to enter. The Demented Toy Factory features one-of-a-kind toys which customers will discover are to die for!

It’s the 18^th year for the haunted grounds. Visitors who dare to enter are not allowed to use cell phones, cameras, recording or lighting devices of any kind. The terrifying experience is every weekend, Thursdays through Saturdays now through Nov. 1. The event uses timed tickets. When you arrive, you go to the tent and get in line for your time slot.
