Now that it's finally starting to feel like fall, we're getting in the Halloween spirit. It's time for pumpkins, horror flicks and spooky stories.
And let's be honest, it's a nice distraction from election season. But we've got your back there, too, with more previews for your local races.
There are plenty of ghost stories in the Midcoast; what's your favorite?

Columnist David Treadwell wrote about his recent trip to watch the New England Patriots. Sadly, he witnessed a loss, but the story left me nostalgic about my last trip to Gillette Stadium more than a decade ago. I really need to get back down there some day soon. |

Oct 9, 1978: On this day, The Times Record ran a feature about the president of the Flat Earth Society. Somehow, he claims, Columbus proved that.
