Amidst these crumbling walls and peeling paint, a ghastly presence roams. As it traverses the deathly silent theater, the damp air becomes saturated. The floorboards creek and the old projectors seem to flicker. The specter of The Strand is in our midst! At least that’s what WE think should happen! Every theater has to have a ghost, but as far as we know, we don’t have one. That’s where YOU come in. If you’re a student in grade 7 through 12, we want YOU to create a legend of a ghost that haunts The Strand. Be Fanciful! Be Frightful! Be Brief! Tell Us in 500 Words or less. You may enter as often as you like, but a $5 Entry Fee must accompany each individual submission via PayPal one at a time.. One winner will be chosen from all entries and receive a Northern Nightmares Prize Pack including a T-Shirt, Ball Cap and other frightfully fun goodies! Your “Ghost” will be unveiled during The Northern Nightmares Halloween Festival See Official Rules at right for submission details. |
