If you were on the hunt for haunted Eerie history, you missed this one, which took place October 25th, 2013. You could have grabbed your ghoul, if you dared...the Erie Haunted History Tour took people on a ghastly walk through Downtown Erie for a night of fright and delight. A ticket to this family friendly event included admission to the walking tour and a Halloween-themed planetarium show on the grounds of the Watson-Curtze Mansion at 356 West 6th St. Re-enactors appeared throughout Erie's downtown, telling ghost stories and eerily acting out scenes from the past. The event took place October 25th and 26th, 2013
Historic Carriage Rides through Downtown Erie were held October 25th and 26th, 2013. Guides treated customers to stories of local legends and lore. The rides began and ended at Brewerie, 123 West 14th St. A behind the scenes tour of the spooky Union Station were held at the end of the carriage ride. As an added bonus, a ticket for the Historic Carriage Ride also admitted people to the Erie Haunted History Tour.

Congratulations to the students at Erie Day School on their latest issue of A Stroke of the Pen, which focuses on the history of Erie, PA.
Editors Livia and Zak did a great job of compiling stories about the Erie Zoo, the Watson-Curtze Mansion on West 6th Street and the history of Erie theaters and circuses. There are also articles about early Erie schools, industries, Erie politics and Civil War regiments raised in Erie County, PA.
The cover includes a postcard of State Street that the students discovered on Old Time Erie when they searched the Internet for background information about Erie. Very cool!
Keep up the great work and good luck on your future publications. You deserve a pat on the back!
