    All through October, our friends at the Aull Center have been presenting Haunted History Month, a series of events related to all things, spooky, spectral and mysterious for Morgantown and West Virginia history.

    Happy Halloween! For this episode, Nathan and Mike are treating us to a spectracular sampler of the past month's Haunted History presentations.

    Fair warning, all of these stories are both highly local and true, but some are quite gruesome, and may not be appropriate for some of our younger history buffs. Listener discretion is advised.
