Lead by local historian David Heard, the walks, which take place every Friday and Saturday night in October, benefit Kerry\u2019s Place Autism Services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea came forward in honour of someone I was supporting at Kerry\u2019s Place and, unfortunately, he left us,\u201d says Mr. Heard. \u201cIt was an incredible story of hope to watch this gentleman grow from someone who was very low-functioning to someone who was able to travel around and walk around independently in a year and a half. When he passed away, I was devastated by his loss because he taught me a lot about hope and moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In asking himself how to honour the \u201cspirit\u201d he left behind, Mr. Heard developed the \u201cSpirit Walk\u201d and it has gone from strength to strength. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, people walk away experiencing something special. Each year something new happens after I complete each Spirit Walk and I am able to share those new stories with the public each year.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Tickets are $15. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Mr. Heard at asoneaurora@gmail.com. <\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8256&#038;t=%E2%80%9CCreepy%E2%80%9D%20Aurora%20spirit%20walk%20marks%20fifth%20anniversary%20in%20October&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8256&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=%E2%80%9CCreepy%E2%80%9D%20Aurora%20spirit%20walk%20marks%20fifth%20anniversary%20in%20October\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8256&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%E2%80%9CCreepy%E2%80%9D%20Aurora%20spirit%20walk%20marks%20fifth%20anniversary%20in%20October&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8256\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween is coming, so there\u2019s no better time to get spooky!
