Every year, the Tippecanoe Storytellers' Guild holds a " Finish the Scary Story" contest in the Journal and Courier. The guild provides the exposition and the suggestion of something mysterious or suspenseful and asks readers to write a terrifying ending with spine-tingling details. The lucky winners will have their entries published in the October 30 newspaper. Until then, the nail-biting suspense will kill the contestants unless they are unruffled by waiting to hear the results.It is an very interesting report.
