Legend has it that the Kennydale hall is haunted. In particular there are two places inside the hall that have had the most activity. The first spot is the cloak room, just as you walk in, the main entrance it is there on your left. Legend has it that a the local witch Ms. Kennydale herself use to practice her craft out of that small room. Supposedly, she returns on the 2nd of November every year to reclaim her hall.
The second most haunted spot is in the storage room, the space off on the right hand side of the hall where the tables and chairs are stored. No one knows for sure what happened in that room, but what we do know is that if a person stays in that area of the hall for very long, that they will start to see all sorts of abnormal things. The most common report is of a spooky looking organ, sort of shimmering in the light with a little fog around it. That is why they keep the tables and chairs in there today, they don't want anyone "hanging" around in that room for very long.
Just a few days after Halloween, your hosts, SirKarp, NWStinkerBella, and WSGA Puget Sound, invite you to come out on November 2nd, as we are going to have a big old Halloween event, just to see if any unusual sightings occur.
This event is sure to be enjoyed by young and old alike, and open to any and all Geocachers. Come on out to share some food with old friends, meet some new ones and enjoy one last bit of Halloween, Geocaching style, while you still can. Maybe even experience some of the legend.
