This year, to celebrate the spookiest month of the year, we’ve got the ‘Ghost a Day’ challenge. A new scary, spooky, creepy or even terrifying story or poem each day. You can follow along on twitter here or by using the hashtag #AGhostADay. You can also interact with the challenge by reading along and sharing your thoughts in the comments here!
