FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Want to hear some of the most pulse-pound, unexplained, dark, stories rumored to take place in Bluffton?

Recognized authority, Fred-in-Stein, (also known as Fred Steiner, Ada Icon owner) pictured with his friend, Frank, takes viewers on a journey to the Bluffton Triangle, in a Bluffton Public Library-sponsored evening of creepy Bluffton stories, each carrying a Halloween twist that you’d like to forget.

The program starts shortly after dark, at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 27, on a Zoom link from the library.

This highly uncomfortable program features many unexplained tales from Bluffton’s vault of forgotten lore.
