Ghostly goings-on at Latvian Radio

Latvian Radio's Theatre department is launching a digital library of true ghost stories and is calling for public submissions. The best stories will be professionally recorded and released as an audio series around Halloween.
Why it matters
This initiative preserves cultural folklore and oral storytelling traditions through modern digital media formats.
"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.
