The Weekly Volcano doesn’t believe in spooks. We don’t, we don’t, we don’t believe in spooks. And yet … on a chilly October night, when the leaves rattle against the fire escape and the computer crashes again and again for no apparent reason, we find ourselves drawn to supernatural explanations. Get a grip, we tell ourselves. Those lights going on and off? Nothing more than old wiring. That vase that crashed from the shelf? Vibrations from passing trucks.  That Ted Bundy victim dumped in the foundation of a building being built at the University of Puget Sound who now moans in the halls of the building.  Well?

OK, the Weekly Volcano is a scardey cat.  That’s why we’re sending our intern Friday night to the Lakewood Playhouse sleepover.  The Lakewood Players offer to shack up kids 8-17 after their performance of “Holes” Friday night for $50.  They’ll unlock the doors at 11 a.m. and those alive will be free to go.

Reserve your spot now by calling 253.588.0042.  We dare you.â€" Suzy Stump
