About this listen

A lot of us enjoy a good pretend-scare around this time of year. But around this time in 1986, a school in California offered up a Halloween hoax that was a little too on the nose for the student body. Plus: a public library in Massachusetts has a ghost hunting kit that patrons can check out and use.
