I'm part of Kentucky Junior Historical Society and I was wondering if there were any Wrimos incorperating ky history into thir stories.

I'm still unclear about exactly what I'm going to do for my story.

I'm looking for places in KY that are known to be haunted.

Let me know.

PS-I'm in Shelby County.

I'm not incorperating any Ky history into my story. But here's a website with haunted places in Kentucky, aka places I need to go. :D: http://www.realhaunts.com/haunted-houses/united-states/kentucky/ and this is my hometown's ghost story, http://www.harrisoncountyky.us/chronicles-of-cynthiana/chapter-08.htm I usually make up my own history and my fictional town will be full of history. :D

I'm not basing my story in KY (it's a historical piece, but set in SC), but I am a member of KHJS. You're looking at the president of the North Hardin High School chapter. ;]

Waverly is very well-known and supposedly haunted. I'm sure you know plenty about that. If you don't (gasp!) TAPS and Ghost Hunters are doing a six hour investigation there on Halloween night. Sci-Fi, 9pm.

I was in the KJHS many years ago (the '70s, gulp). Great organization.

My story will be set in KY, in a fictional county in the outer Bluegrass region. It will have some historical references. What I'm contemplating is a series of stories which trace the history of the county and a couple of prominent families therein from the 1790s to date.
