She always approached Trick or Treating like a general coordinating battle plans. She gathered her friends and laid out the path they would take through the neighborhood. Once they got back she explained how they would divide the spoils of war. All candy in your bag got dumped on the table in front of you. Anything you absolutely had to keep went back in the bag. Things you really hated went into the center of the table to be shared. Things you liked but would be willing to give up for something better went in front of you. Then the negotiations began. I listened for the next hour or so to "I'll trade you 2 Twizzlers for a Reeses". It always made me laugh that the rest of the kids just went along with all this without question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720480052954918392.post-32961419908188209842010-10-29T11:08:44.376-05:002010-10-29T11:08:44.376-05:00This is a true story about my sister.

She was about 12 then. <br /><br />She had some rabbits in a pen out in a shady corner of the back yard and would go out there at dusk to fed them. She started telling us she was seeing robed figures out there and they had no feet or faces under their hoods.<br /><br />None of us ever saw it. We teased her a little and she stopped talking about it even though she still saw them.<br /><br />Flashing forward about 10 years, she is now a single mom with 2 small girls living in an apartment in Kentucky. Her robed friends followed her.<br /><br />Now they are more active. Several people saw things like blocks and dolls roll down the steps even though no one was up there.<br /><br />It would also hide in closets upstairs and try to scare her by popping out at her. <br /><br />My brother and his wife were visiting her once and he said he felt the classic cold spot upstairs and when they were coming down the stairs, something tried to push his wife down them.<br /><br />One terrifying night my sister and her 2 girls were huddled in bed together as a blue ball of light terrorized them. <br /><br />My sister said she had enough and was angry it was scaring the girls. She grabbed her Bible and commanded the thing to leave her house by the power of God and all things Holy. <br /><br />It zoomed out the window(closed) and she never saw it again.<br /><br />V^^^^VVampyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676666661473119185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720480052954918392.post-60849173832712570242010-10-28T19:55:37.689-05:002010-10-28T19:55:37.689-05:00I think my favorite ghost story would have to be t...I think my favorite ghost story would have to be the legend of Black Aggie. It's one my friend told me when I was very young, maybe 6 or 7 and it's stuck with me through the years. If you are unfamiliar with the tale check here: http://www.prairieghosts.com/druidridge.html It gives a bit of history and the various legends that surround the statue. Very good and spooky stuff :)Wenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462163922539137557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720480052954918392.post-9633967074822992262010-10-28T18:03:38.164-05:002010-10-28T18:03:38.164-05:00My favorite memory is taking my little brother to ...My favorite memory is taking my little brother to a put on haunted house (by neighbors)and, just as it was our turn to enter, a slew of real bats flew down through the people in line and scared the hell out of all of us.

When I was a kid, it was generally a store bought one. In my later years and probably close to being a little too old for trick or treating I would make my costume. Nothing extravagant, but basically finding clothes at home and getting the right accessories to make myself into someone else.<br /><br />Such as a cowgirl, a little kid, a 1/2 angel & 1/2 devil costume--which was a last minute one! Nowadays I see older kids coming to our door in no costume at all!<br /><br />And to answer the other question as well, one urban legend that was kind of creepy was the Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights?

One of the most vivid memories was cutting through the cemetery after Trick or Treating (mind you, in those day it was after dark) and trying to scare others doing the same thing. Once we got home came the obligatory sorting of the candy so my mom could seize her due (usually you could buy her off with a few Snickers) and the candy pig out then could begin. The next day would definitely be upset stomach day which nobody reported to mom, lest she get out the caster oil or peptobismol. You only made that mistake once unless you were a stupid child. Ah, memories.....Debi Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03827362988461075348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720480052954918392.post-15319008919332037652010-10-28T08:43:53.138-05:002010-10-28T08:43:53.138-05:00The favorite urban legend spooky story I grew up w...The favorite urban legend spooky story I grew up with is of the hook-hand killer - couples smooching in cars beware.vvb32 readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924589941745430884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720480052954918392.post-9162289541147248902010-10-27T23:20:39.958-05:002010-10-27T23:20:39.958-05:00My favorite memory was always going trick or treat...My favorite memory was always going trick or treating with a group of friends then when we got back one parent would read Little Orphan Annie.donnashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468804026216474775noreply@blogger.com
