Folklife event: ‘Celebrate our culture’

Fairmont State center slated to open in June

By Mary Wade Burnside
Times West Virginian

FAIRMONT — As the old haunted tale goes, there once was a teacher who stayed late at school to catch up on work. As dusk approached, she would see a little girl in her classroom who asked about her rag doll. After this happened a few times, the teacher finally made a rag doll and gave it to the girl, and she never came back.

When walking home soon after, the teacher saw the doll on the grave of a little girl, the same one who kept visiting her classroom.

That tale appears in Ruth Ann Musick’s collection of ghost stories called “The Telltale Lilac Bush,” and Connie Regan-Blake planned to tell it as part of her appearance Saturday evening — which happened to be Halloween — at the 2009 Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center Gala at the Colebank Hall Auditorium at Fairmont State University.
