Now this one is a little different – it’s a special Ghost Story Competition by Luton Irish Forum for young people in Luton, Dunstable, and the surrounding areas. Open to ages eight to 12 and 13 to 16, participants can submit an original ghost story of up to one thousand five hundred words by Thursday, October 30. Sponsored by Pictons Solicitors and judged by Dr Tim Jarvis, a Senior Creative Writing Lecturer and ghost story author, the competition celebrates creativity and the rich tradition of storytelling.
