Horrible history walk a spooky success

Halloween brought Drouin's darker history to life for participants in a "horrible history" walking tour.
Hosted by the Drouin History Group, community members stepped back in time to discover some of the scarier and more tragic events from Drouin's past.
Fifteen people joined the group for its special Horrible History Town Walk, which began at 7pm and took about an hour and a half to complete.
Participants were taken to a number of significant locations around Drouin, where they stopped to hear the stories of tragic events and unsettling incidents that had occurred in the town's history.
Drouin History Group president Ellen Barrows led the walk, sharing the stories and explaining the circumstances surrounding these events, bringing some of Drouin's lesser-known history to life.
The Halloween setting provided a fitting atmosphere for the evening, as participants discovered a darker side to the town's past.
Judging by the interest and enjoyment shown throughout the walk, the event was appreciated by all who attended.
The Horrible History Town Walk proved to be an enjoyable and unusual way of bringing local history to the community, demonstrating that history is not always about grand buildings and famous people — sometimes its most memorable stories are the ones that send a shiver down your spine.
