GHOSTS WALKED

 

Ghastly screams and shrill voices filled the Blind Institute Hall, South Brisbane, last night.

 

The hall was in total darkness for a feature of the Hallowe'en party arranged by the Toc H Women's section.

 

In a horrible sing-song voice, a ghost story was told, while a mysterious figure moved about the listeners handing to them supposed 'bits' of his anatomy.

 

Cocktail frankfurts, chilled to icy coolness after days in a refrigerator, made horribly life like entrails, and a set of false teeth frivolously nipped their victim.

 

The hall was decorated with Hallowe'en motifs, and a witch's dance under dimmed lights added to the ghostly atmosphere.
