Shreveport's Municipal Auditorium 

Haunted tours are being hosted at Municipal again this year. The local Auditorium is believed to be haunted by the ghosts of some musical greats and is considered one of America's most haunted buildings.

Some of the hauntings include a child, who likes to play peek-a-boo with the balcony door in the main lobby; slamming doors; ghostly guest named Mary, and many other unexplained occurrences. This 90-minute tour will delve into those. Who knows what you will see or hear on this tour.

Bugs, Bats and Bones

A scary event which will actually be educational at the same time. It's being held at the Walter B. Jacobs Memorial Nature Park in Blanchard Saturday night, October 26th from 5-9pm.

This year's fun will feature night hikes, an insect hunt, arts and crafts, story time, live animals and much more. You can also enjoy "Cafe Insecta", where you can try some delicacies made from bugs.
