Going for a walk through the woods by myself may not have been the best idea I had ever had, but it was Halloween, and the moon was full. What better time to go for an adventure in the spooky woods.
The moonlit sky was beautiful, and the air was crisp and cool. All was perfect, except for the eerie cry of the wolf I heard coming from the graveyard, which made me feel a little nervous. But I didn’t let that stop me.
As I was wandering through the woods, I heard a faint growl, and the cracking of small sticks. My mind raced wondering what it could be.
I turned around quickly, feeling defenseless. I searched to see where the sound had come from. Then, from the shadows, staring right at me were two giant, piercing, reddish-orange eyes.
The creature lunged at me with a ferocious growl, and……
FINISH THE STORY!

What are ghosts? Do they give you candy, steal your left shoe, give you presents, take your teeth? Are they here to haunt people, or are they just lost souls? There are different opinions on whether or not they exist.
DO you believe in ghosts, spirits, or as I like to call them “Hallow Spooks”?
Have you ever seen or heard one?
(Below, I have rewritten the story of an Arkansas ghost legend, which I found on Arkansas Urban Legends.)
The Vanishing Hitchhiker

On a lightning flashing, stormy night, a man was driving down a lonely, desolate road in Arkansas. Suddenly, he saw a girl hitchhiking on the side of the road.
The man stopped and gave the girl a lift. Seeing that she was shivering and rained on, the man gave her his coat for warmth.
She then gave him directions to her house. When they arrived, the man was going to open the car door for the girl, but she had vanished from where she was sitting.
Puzzled, the man went up to the house and knocked on the door. An old, wrinkling, tired looking woman answered the door, and the man told her what had happened.
She sadly explained, “That was my daughter, who was killed years ago. Every once a year she hitchhikes back here.”
After hearing what had happened, the man drove to the cemetery to look at the girl’s grave. As he slowly opened the door not knowing what would come next, right in front of him was the girl’s tombstone. Staring in disbelief, his coat was on top of it.
As you can see, I have changed my background to celebrate the upcoming of Halloween, which is one of my favorite holidays. Why? Because I love dressing up and getting tons of candy.
What better way to start off October than to know a little history about how Halloween started.
Between you and me, before I even knew the real reason why Halloween is celebrated, I just thought it was a good excuse to have a bunch of candy, and of course it still is.
