of the St. Hallo Post. It was shot on September 20, 1921.  t. Hallo is
home to many unexpected visitors - and a central site for supernatural
occurrences. The paranormal beings and ghosts of
St. Hallo have been haunting the people of this town for many
centuries.
My name is M. Larigot and I study supernatural events. I have a degree
in Anthology and Journalism from St. Hallo University. I am a reporter
now at the St. Hallo Post writing pieces on the supernatural. I have
been investigating the paranormal sightings and occurrences in this
town for many years. The people of this town depend on me
to report the
latest sightings in the St. Hallo Post. Over the years, I have
reported on the existence of many different kinds of supernatural
beings - far more than I have ever imagined could have existed. Many of you may not believe in ghosts or the supernatural, but these visitations really do occur. I have heard many stories of people being visited by a loved one from beneath the grave, or people who felt a cold chill from a ghost, or who saw a vision of someone in mid-air, or who have seen objects being tossed in the air. Some of you who have experienced these visitations do not doubt in your mind that they are real, while others of you may think it was a figment of your imagination or a hallucination. I have
been asked before whether I believe
if St. Hallo is haunted by good or bad spirits. One reader wanted to
know if
there were good spirits dwelling among us to deliver
us a message. Many people ponder this question. I have spent the past
several years investigating spirits and what their purpose is
for haunting us, and that is what has led me to write these articles in
the St. Hallo Post.
Author's
Note:
I decided to do my storybook over
Ernest Rhys's book titled The
Haunters and the
Haunted: Ghost Stories and Tales of
the Supernatural. In this book, Rhys put together a collection of
ancient and modern stories. I have selected my favorite stories and
have retold them in the fictional setting of the town of St. Hallo. M
Larigot is
the narrator for the stories. He is a reporter for the St. Hallo Post.
The stories are told in newspaper style.

I report on
the
sightings I have discovered at St. Hallo in my articles for the
readers to be aware of what may exist among us. The spirits will indeed
always be lurking around us, in human form, or as floating objects
in the atmosphere, or as monstrous scary figures. My goal as
a reporter for the St. Hallo Post is to inform you of what may be out
there.
I believe that there are good and bads spirits and that they all have a
reason for being here.
You as the reader can take this article and just read it as a funny hoax or you can step into the other realm of supernatural beings and judge for yourself what you think is real or make-believe. My goal as reporter for the Hallo Post is to let readers know that, based on my investigations, the ghosts are real and that they are here to warn us. The first haunting that I am going to report about is when the ghost of a man named Jack appeared at a woman named Rosa's wedding. This story is a quarrel between two lovers. To find out more on what happened read Issue 2: A Women Haunted by Her Dead Lover Ends in the Death of Her. There is a tale about the old Smithill Hall on Main Street. Many believe it is haunted by its former owner, the Lord of Smithill Hall. The Lord of Smithill Hall believed he could discover the means of prolonging his life, but it looks like the results were more horrifying than anything he could imagine. To find out more, read Issue 3: The Bloody 30th Anniversary of the Lord of Smithills Hall. The last story that I am going to report on happened a long time ago. I had to look in the town's public records to get information to be able to write my story. In 1884, the whole town of St. Hallo was infested with rats. A strange piper came through town and offered to help get rid of the rats. He got rid of the rats and something else too. To find out more, read Issue 4: Town Infested by Rats Leads to Disappearance of Townspeople.  |
 The forms by which men and women are haunted are far more diverse and subtle than we know. Ernest Rhys |
