HALLOWEEN
"Ghost Readings"

The town’s legend offers that several ghosts inhabit the area. Moreover, the popular Bracebridge Ghost Tour that starts at the Inn-at-the-Falls and continues beside the Court House through Chancery Lane to the main street. Thus, the gallery happens to occupy a recognised "haunted house." Without going into details of believers and related experiences, the gallery reserves a shelf for books on the topic and opens its doors to Ghost Tour visitors, even after hours.

On the Halloween evening, October 31 at 8 pm, free-minded adults are invited to the GHOST READINGS at the haunted Chancery Art Gallery.

Admission: be prepared to share a "ghost story" from your own experience, or to read a piece of poetry, or prose, or to sing a song on a"supernatural" topic. Piano and guitar will be available, refreshments served.

THE APPARITION
by John Donne

When by thy scorn, O murd'ress, I am dead,
And that thou think'st thee free
From all solicitation from me,
Then shall my ghost come to thy bed,
And thee, feigned vestal, in worse arms shall see;

Then thy sick taper will begin to wink,
And he, whose thou art then, being tired before,
Will, if thou stir, or pinch to wake him, think
Thou call'st for more,
And in false sleep will from thee shrink,

And then, poor aspen wretch, neglected thou
Bathed in a cold quicksilver sweat wilt lie
A verier ghost than I.
What I will say I will not tell thee now,

Lest that preserve thee; and since my love is spent,
I'd rather thou shouldst painfully repent
Than by my threat'nings rest still innocent.
