7:00 - 8:30pm – Performances
Just Us Cafe, 5896 Spring Garden Road
 
Our theme this week is
BLUENOSE GHOSTS
& OTHER WANDERING SPIRITS !!


Night had fallen. The decorations were set. The Lady was ready. It wouldn’t be long now before the neighbourhood would be resonating with YOUNG HUNTING for treats. “No treats here,” she giggled, “except for mine.”

Next door, THE SWEET TRINITY of BFFs were checking out their costumes. BONNIE ANNIE, white teeth a-gleaming, was resplendent as RINORDINE. ALLISON GROSSed everyone out as THE LAILY WORM. ELIZA LONGed for something special too but with THE CRUEL MOTHER holding the pursestrings, it would take something akin to THE SUFFOLK MIRACLE.

Just then a knock sounded at the door. “It’s the boys!” they shrieked. They had promised to be there by dark and LORD RANDALL and THOMAS RHYMER were right on time. “Sorry we LOST JIMMY WHALEN but knowing him, THE CONSTANT FARMER’S SON will surely TURNIP before long.”

“Ha! Ha!” groaned the girls as they all set out. Next door, the atmosphere was positively electric. Blood curdling shrieks and wails eminated from THE UNQUIET GRAVE displayed on the front lawn. “It looks & sounds so real.”

Unbeknownst to them it was. Jimmy wasn’t lost at all. He knew exactly where he was and he didn’t like it one bit. LADY MARGARET, on the other hand, was ecstatic. Any moment now, the late Jimmy Whalen would be meeting up with his friends. Trick AND Treat J

Storytellers Circle of Halifax presents:

PERCEPTIONS

Stories of things seen and sensed

Thursday, October 13, 7- 8:30 pm

Just Us! Café
5896 Spring Garden Road, corner of Carleton
www.justuscoffee.com

Perceive, v.t. & i, to experience through the senses,
to understand with the mind

Sometimes we perceive things clearly, although
our perceptions may be different than others’.

And what about those things which are at the
borderline of the senses, barely perceptible,
leading us to question what we experience….
like… visions… ghosts… ?

If you haven’t yet discovered the pure
enjoyment and relaxation of an evening
of storytelling, come give it a tryl

We welcome new tellers and delight in
new listeners, for there must be ears to hear.

Anytime after 6:30; stories start at 7:00.
