It’s easy to find something horrifying to put a little tingle in your spine this time of year.
But if you like your spooky with a side of history, you mightwant to hitch a ride on the Augusta Ghost Trolley.
Organizer Michael Wolff, dressed in turn-of-the-century garb, will take guests on a tour of Augusta’s reputed haunts while narrating oft-told and little-known stories of Augusta’s past.

Le Chat Noir offers instruction in fighting zombies
It’s happened.
Thanks to a global pandemic, zombies have taken over the world.
Augusta alone has been spared.
It is here, at Le Chat Noir, that private military company Darkest Hour has set up a training center to teach residents how to defend themselves in the inevitable event of a zombie attack.
That is the premise behind the theater’s newest production, or rather, haunted attraction, Zombie Apocalypse Survival Boot Camp.
Patrons will not merely watch the action onstage. They will get hands-on experience in zombie warfare.

Langhorne Slim back to rock songs of love
One theme pervades Langhorne Slim’s music.
“Love. The good parts, the sad parts, the in-between parts,” said the singer/songwriter, who will perform at Sky City Saturday as part of the Westobou Festival.
He and his band, The Law, which includes drummer Malachi DiLorenzo, bassist Jeff Ratner and keyboardist David Moore, have played in Augusta before. In March they opened for The Avett Brothers at Bell Auditorium.
Their music has been described as everything from folk to Americana. But ask Slim what the audience can expect from his show and he replies, “The greatest rock and roll show they have ever seen.”

Augusta State students unable to reach car wash world record
Wesley and Cassandra Byers were having a bulb replaced at Gerald Jones Honda on Saturday when they saw a sign for a free car wash in the shopping center across the street.
“Our daughter saw it was for the ROTC and said we had to stop,” Cassandra Byers said.
They were one more tally in Augusta State University’s attempt to pass the Guinness World Records mark for the most cars washed by an organization in a day.
With tired arms, legs and some sunburn, the more than 50 people who showed to wash cars were able to clean 383, well short of the record of 4,918 that was set in June.

Couples groove for charity
Some of Augusta's notables proved they knew how to cut a rug at the Gordon Club on Saturday night.
Seven couples, some of whom said they didn't dance much before Saturday, entertained a standing-room-only crowd at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's second Dancing With the Stars fundraiser.
Last year's event was so popular that organizers rented two ballrooms to accommodate the crowd this year, with one designated for the show and the other reserved for dinner and dancing.
It still wasn't enough. Guests filled every seat and stood along three sides of the room to watch the entertainment.
