The Haunted

The moon was full and bright, this Halloween night. The spooks were out, giving everyone a fright. My brothers and I were tucked safely in bed, when we started to hear sound that filled us with dread. So, we crept to the window to peer outside, but what we saw, made us run back and hide. Below us were monsters and goblins galore and they were making their way to our front door! As quiet as mice we snuck down the hall and found ourselves in A Grand Monster Ball. The room was crowded with spooks…

FALLON: “Viola just called and invited me to go to her Halloween dinner, I know it is last minute but would you want to accompany me? It is a costume party, but still I think it would be fun!” REDCROSSE: “As you may know I am not very fond of Halloween and this costume nonsense but I have nothing better to do this evening so yes, I will join you”. (I laughed because it was very typical of him; he always gets angry when Halloween rolls around. We arrived to her house around eight and were…

When people think of Halloween, some view as a holiday of fun. Its purpose in the United States is viewed as a holiday for children and adults alike, since children get free candy from trick or treating, while adults go out partying while dressed in costumes. However, Halloween’s actual purpose was more of a holiday or festival in the Celtic religion called Samhain, the holiday was to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. As time passed, Halloween went from festivals…

It was night and my sisters are coming home. I was bored and I wanted to scare them. So I put on my Halloween costume and I thought of where I was going to hide. It took me a while to figure out where I was going to hide. After a few minutes later I found out where I was going to hide and I hid behind the door. I hid behind the door because I hide in the same places all the time. So I hid in that position to see if i was able to scare them. It was a good spot to scare them. I had to wait because…

As my father was driving me to an old worn out brick building. He drove me there two times before, but tonight was special tonight was Halloween. The building I was working at was made of old brick. The bricks were faded because of water and had scars where vines were the summer before. There were small props like a homemade box for someone to jump out and scare the people in line. There was a ticket booth painted like it was from an actual circus. The glass door that had a freaky clown behind…

Full disclosure, the first time Great America opened Halloween Haunt I worked there and it was scary; probably because it was new. This year Times videographer, Hugo Legend and I attended Great America’s Haunt for media day. The free tickets, dinner and exclusive VR experience were a nice gesture but our initial haunt experience was underwhelming. Granted we opted out of visiting the mazes, which I know from having gone through them in the past, are creative and if you’re into that sort of…

Alright I'll tell you of a time when i found a razor balde in a piece of candy on halloween. It was very cold, but vey dry halloween night. On every holiday my family and I go over board on decorations . I was mostly in charge that year because my dad was on a business trip. I really did enjoy it, but I always hate hammering rebarb into the ground then having the tombstone break on me. My nieborhood is one big community and if your in a community then you should participate in community…

What’s Your Favorite Type of Halloween Candy? By Mikayla Honeywell What’s your favorite type of halloween candy? Personally mine is all things chocolate. The satisfying smell of the freshly opened chocolate, the sweetness you taste, and the extra energy it gives you. I love all of that about it. To begin with I just love the smell of chocolate. It smells like a sweet thing of joy. The smell prepares you to bite into a sweet tasting snack. Sure it has sugars but I know it’s worth it. The…

Summary/Paraphrase This ghost story is said to have occurred in 2002 at the graduate campus of Northeastern State University in Oklahoma.
