Thank you to everyone who participated in the Peculiar Tales Contest. The deadline for submissions was Monday, Oct. 10. The most intriguing entries will be published on our website, and winners will receive a copy of "Tales of the Peculiar" signed by Ransom Riggs '01.
Ransom Riggs ’01, a Kenyon graduate and best-selling author, was inspired by eerie vintage photography when writing “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” which hit theaters Sept. 30.
We searched Kenyon’s 200-year-old archives to find our most peculiar collection of old images, but we need your help describing what’s happening in each photo. Tell us a short story, in 150 words or less, about one (or all) of the photos. The most intriguing entries will be published on Kenyon’s website and winners will receive a copy of "Tales of the Peculiar" signed by Riggs.
