Halloween is around the corner, bringing with it the call of all things paranormal or supernatural.

Deep believer or skeptic, most of us have had at least one encounter or occurrence in our lives that we find hard to explain. A sighting out of the corner of your eye, lights that turn on or off without reason, a sudden chilly patch of air or a cold breeze on your neck — do happenings like these make you look over your shoulder, or do you just shrug them off as a part of life?

If you like to explore the paranormal, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16 is the next History on Tap lecture sponsored by Kiggins Theatre and Clark County Historical Museum. This month’s topic is “UFO Northwest — How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black,” which sounds like a great talk for UFO buffs.
