An Evening of Family Friendly Ghost Storytelling in Cape Girardeau, MO USA. Ghost Storytelling is slated for October 14, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Fall seems like the best time for ghostly gatherings. Days are shorter. Nights are cooler. And nights, of course, are sometimes scarier. Nationally renowned storytellers Regina Carpenter and Gayle Ross will regale you with eerie, family friendly stories on the banks of the Mississippi River beneath the boughs of the ancient Beech Tree at the River Campus.
