Haunted opener

The 16th Haunted Palouse began Friday, Oct. 21, with the arrival of three Moscow School District buses. Out came representatives of sorority and fraternity row from the University of Idaho on a “Date Dash.”

Inside the Roy M. Chatters Printing Museum a white-faced nun would pray for their souls as they entered. Farther in, an exit sign would require their full attention. At the former old firehouse, what they would find they may never discuss again.

On Shady Lane, the Date Dash took another turn — for no turning back.

Nearing the end of the jaunt, as the yellow buses idled, a fortune teller inside the former Green Frog may have revealed it was all a precursor to something much, much brighter.

Haunted Palouse continues this Friday and Saturday Oct. 27-28, from 7 to 10 p.m. (last tickets sold). Cost is $20. Must be 12 or older.
