Public library taking RSVPs for Halloween Bluffton storytelling event
Want to hear some of the most pulse-pound, unexplained, dark, stories rumored to take place in Bluffton?
Recognized authority, Fred-in-Stein, pictured with his friend, Frank, takes viewers on a journey to the Bluffton Triangle, in a Bluffton Public Library-sponsored evening of creepy Bluffton stories, each carrying a Halloween twist that you’d like to forget.
The program starts shortly after dark, at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 27, on a Zoom link from the library.
This highly uncomfortable program features many unexplained tales from Bluffton’s vault of forgotten lore.
For example:
• a mysterious gas light sometimes seen north of the Spring Street brush dump along the abandoned AC&Y Railroad
• the 1906 ghost of Maple Grove
• the famous 1923 UFO sighting
• the never-found $2,000 in gold coins buried in 1910 somewhere south of Bluffton
• A 1908 electric storm that struck again 104 years later, to the day, as the derecho of 2014
• the man who lost his fingers at Sidall’s saw mill but continued to experience a splinter pain
• the Bluffton mystery beast of 1955
• plus, others, too weird to post in a family publication like the Icon.
