Advisory — This Halloween, the University of Lethbridge has a treat for those who love a good ghost story 

Friday, October 27, 2023

City of Lethbridge Councillor Belinda Crowson (BSc/BEd ’99) will be on hand to unveil the digital collection of ghost stories she recorded

The Ghost Stories of Lethbridge digital collection has been in the works since the beginning of the year and is comprised of 19 recordings of ghost stories from local historian Belinda Crowson. 

WHAT: Launching of the Ghost Stories of Lethbridge digital collection

WHEN: 11 a.m. | Tuesday, October 31

WHERE: University Library, Level 10

A sampling of titles from the collection is bound to send a chill down your spine — the Haunted Farm House, St. Patrick’s Cemetery, The Ghost of the Union Train Station and The Blue Ghost of Fleetwood. In these stories, you’ll learn about the mother who heard the ghost of her baby daughter at St. Patrick’s Cemetery, the footsteps that are sometimes heard in the attic of the old train station and the ghost that hushed a crying baby in a farmhouse near Wilson Siding.

Media are invited to attend the launch to get spooked out by Crowson and her ghoulish and ghastly ghost stories.
