Mason's Folklore Program hosts Spooky Story Swap
|In the spirit of Halloween, the Folklore Department and its student-run organization, the Folklore Roundtable, teamed up to host a Spooky Stories event on Wednesday night.
Students and faculty gathered in the JC and shared their strange experiences with one another, depicting stories about things from haunted libraries to possessed pianos. Storytelling has been an integral form of communication in every culture and the event helped highlight this fact as people from different backgrounds explained the histories behind some of their stories.
Fourth Estate announces first ever horror story competition
|Do you have a story you’d like to share with the rest of Mason campus that will keep them lying awake at nights, jumping at their own shadows?
Starting on Oct. 17, 2013, Fourth Estate will be searching for the most bone-chilling short stories and poems until Oct. 29 at 11:59 p.m with its Horror Story Competition. All works should be no less than 100 and no more than 1500 words in length. They will be judged based on adherence to the aforementioned guidelines, readability, and (most importantly) scariness.
There is no theme, just horror.
