Spooky Wording - October Word Search
For the month of October,
let’s get spooky! If straight-up
horror isn’t your thing, find a
paranormal story to help set
the fall mood. Every October,
we put together a fantastic
Halloween display full of all
the spooky, funny, paranormal
goodness you can find, if you
need inspiration.
This month, I think I’ll read
Ghost Train to New Orleans
by Mur Lafferty, a spooky but
not scary read. I love scary
books, but I hate sleeping
with my lights on, so this is a
happy medium.
Let us know what your spooky
choice is this month!
