'Tis the season to tell haunted stories and Sterling Nature Center is getting in on the action.
Washington Irving's “The Headless Horseman” will be told by lantern light Saturday, at the nature center for its first ever “Stories in the Night Woods.” But director Jim D'Angelo promised it won't be too spooky.
“It's a story that we like. It originated in New York,” D'Angelo said. “The author was living in the Catskills and based it on a town he came across. This version isn't too scary, it's just a little spooky and goes with Halloween.”
The version he will read was adapted by Natalie Standiford and is at a third-grade reading level so children can enjoy it thoroughly. He also plans to tell a few other not-too-scary scary stories.
Weather permitting, he encourages participants to bring flashlights and dress appropriately because it will be held outside. In the case of poor conditions, the stories will be told indoors.
