The Hopkinton Police Department is actively investigating two separate reports of a suspicious item being given to children who were trick or treating on Halloween night. This Sunday two separate parents reported that their children were given a toilet tank cleaner product. The children are six and fourteen years old. The poison was discovered upon inspection of the candy. These discs were wrapped in white wrapping and were not consumed by the children

Halloween might be over, but you can hold on to the spooky mood for just a bit longer at "Gothic Ghost Tales" at 6:30 pm on Monday, November 9.

Some of the most imaginative and original writers of ghost stories in the 20th century have been women. They helped create the modern ghost: a mixture of the old-fashioned Victorian gothic and science fiction. Rita Parisi from Waterfall Productions will present three ghost stories that probe the possibilities of other dimensions in time and human consciousness.
