What's your best/worst/scariest Halloween Story?

[fr_freak]

I have an embarrassing Halloween story. A man asked me if I didn’t think I was a little old to be trick-or-treating.

Ha! Don't feel bad. I was always a bit big for my age. The last year I remember trick or treating, a woman answered her door,looked at me with disgust and said "Aren't you a little old for trick or treating?" I was only 11.

mispelled because it still gives me the willies.

We were in Oklahoma last year when the tornado hit the little town just west of Ardmore. I was terrified. Then our friends told us about the 6ft by 6ft storm shelters that people put in their yards and I became claustrophobic just thinking about it.

It was actually the last house on the left

I don’t quite understand your math but I like it. 55 again would be good. I didn’t realize how good 55 really was.

(and the sort of thing that I would do)
Ha ha!
Who would YOU dress up as?

I was talking to a guy, early 60's, and I told him I had just turned 48. He said "Did you think when you were younger "48" would feel so young?" And I hadn't really thought of it like that. But he is right.

So be young at heart, D, and all will be well.

HEY! Five adults and ONE small child just hit the house for candy. They all had candy bags. I didn't say anything. I was afraid one of them was YOU! And I was trying to keep with the ghost apparition spirit of the hallowday. :-)

Nope wasn’t me. I am down here on the coast of Texas dealing with my own spooks. Happy Halloween to you!

It’s a scary story but you were able to help the spirit [or guardian angel] of the dead child by locating the child’s body.

So I think the reason the hauntings stopped was because the child was found and properly buried. His was a voice crying out from the grave and yours were the ears and heart of a man who could hear him.

I think that makes you honored.

I have no scary stories, but I tend to hear voices, like echoes from past conversations, where ever I am. I believe that sound waves don’t just stop, that they continue forever, just softer and softer sound waves.

Inside my house, I’ve heard children singing songs, conversations among adults, children playing . . . I can’t make out the words, normally. At other places where I’ve been camping, I’ve heard echos of a Civil War battle and heard Cherokee warriors singing battle songs.

I’ve only met one other person who’s heard similar voices.

Thank you..... it is.

This is a true story, according to family legend. This occurred for several years in the late 40s and early 50s. I had a great-great uncle in the Missouri town of Farmington. Every year he would heat several cookie trays of pennies in his oven. Then, when a group of trick-or-treaters knocked on his door he would tell them to stand back and, “don’t be greedy.” He would open the door and fling the hot pennies onto the lawn. Then he would laugh at the greedy newbies as they burnt their fingers while the wiser children would wait for them to cool off. I’m sure he would go to jail for such a thing today.

If I remember correctly, I was still finding smudges a week later.

Never again!

That's the scariest thing I've read since Ghost Story.

I met my wife on Halloween and we married a year later. We just celebrated our 10th Anniversary.

All Hallows’ Eve 1993 my Son was born in an ambulance on Sundland Park Drive in El Paso,Texas.

Depending on the day, this may or may not be a bone chilling story.

He’s a fine young man even if he did start out waving to traffic.
