Ghostly goings-on at Latvian Radio

"For many, camps, hikes, and evenings by the campfire are associated with ghost stories, which are sometimes scary, sometimes amusing, but remain in the memory as an integral part of childhood summers. We at the Radio Theatre had the idea to preserve these stories in a digital library, so we invite you to share your ghost, horror, and otherwise scary adventures! Let's collect the most vivid, terrifying, and also the most ridiculous stories, record them, and preserve them for future generations of scaremongers," says Nora Micpapa, senior editor of the Radio Theatre. The Radio Theatre is not on the look-out for fiction, though, stating that stories must be "true" – as far as that is even possible – or at least genuine stories from family history or friends' tales. All submitted stories will be carefully evaluated so that the most interesting, spooky, unexpected, and comical stories will be transformed into a new audio format in the Autumn. They will be voiced by a professional actor, and the first audio haunting is expected to be around Halloween time. The Radio Theatre invites you to send your true, legendary, family-inherited or friends-heard ghost stories in writing (and in Latvian only) by September 6th to the e-mail address radioteatris@lsm.lv.
