Huddled around ghost storyteller Michael Valenti for a good old-fashioned spooky tale are, from left, Faith Fisher, Jane Scully Welch, Valenti, and Claudia Mathison. The four were preparing for the fifth annual Clinton Historical Society's Ghost Walk. Despite the rain and wind, more than 30 people participated in a tour of local "haunted houses" including Three Liberty Green Bed & Breakfast owned by Glen Coutu, The 1690 Rossiter House owned by Eric Ambler and Rick Manly, and The Stanton House with curator Jen Kabe. After the tour, everyone headed back to the Clinton Historical Society's 1750 Elisha White House, also known as the Old Brick, for ghoulish goodies around a roaring fire in the fireplace.
