This weekend, in honor of Halloween, Domonic and I decided to go to Zilker Park to hear some ghost stories. We got their early to get a good spot and do some climbing of the lovely Zilker oaks before the show. Some good advice was given to me by a fellow tree monkey: "It's easy! Just pretend like you're a wild animal!" It was a great way to start an evening filled with the ghosts of wild wolves and goblins.
So Domonic and I hunkered down on our blanket with a thermos of home-made hot chocolate and caramel popcorn ready to hear the very spooky tales related by the raconteurs of The Central Texas Storytelling Guild.
We heard stories about a kiddie gobbling, lake slurping, forest eating witch, a headless hostess, a very persistent East Texas goblin, the ghost of a legendary Texas Frontiersman with a bit of a drinking problem, a fierce American Indian battle come to life and one very unwelcoming Bed and Breakfast... We looked up at the stars and over our shoulders as we sipped hot cocoa. When it was all over, we laughed it off. But, I'll admit, I had a teeny bit of trouble sleeping that night...
