It’s October, and that means the return of our annual Halloween Hunt!

We’ve scattered a hauntourage of ghosts around the site, and it’s up to you to try and find them all.

• Decipher the clues and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find a ghost. Each clue points to a specific page right here on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
• If there’s a ghost on a page, you’ll see a banner at the top of the page.
• You have just under two weeks to find all the ghosts (until 11:59pm EDT, Monday October 31st).
• Come brag about your hauntourage of ghosts (and get hints) on Talk.

Win prizes:

• Any member who finds at least two ghosts will be
  awarded a ghost Badge ().
• Members who find all 15 ghosts will be entered into a drawing for one of five LibraryThing (or TinyCat) coaster sets and stickers. We’ll announce winners at the end of the hunt.

P.S. Thanks to conceptDawg for the vulture illustration!
