October is the spookiest month of the year with goblins and ghosts walking the streets later in the month, a perfect month of a paranormal program.

Four Lima ladies, known as the Ohio Paranormal Ghost Gals, present programs on their paranormal investigations. Several of them will be at the Ada Public Library at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13.

They will talk about their findings, how they investigate for paranormal occurrences, and what equipment they use. The program is free and open to the public.
