It’s October and that means you’re required by Halloween law to hear at least one ghost story this month. Manitou Springs Heritage Center and Museum and THEATREdART will offer Ghost Stories of Old Manitou Walking Tours — seven new tales inspired by historical Manitou characters. The not super spooky stories are intended for all ages. Tours are Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18-19 and 25, $17, free for 10 and younger, and reservations are required; 719-685-1454, manitouspringsheritagecenter.org. — Jennifer Mulson, The Gazette
