  Speaker 1: So when I was young, I went to that one
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: house in the town where the residents went all out
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and probably spent thousands of dollars getting the place perfect
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: for Halloween. Now, this place was insanely well done, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I mean really freaking good, albeit even as an adult,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it competed with professional hornet houses. I believe the year
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was either nineteen ninety nine or two thousand, because I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: went as Darth Maul. I remember being literally scared out
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of my mind the previous few years, and I hope
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: my bad ass character would provide me with some sort
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of courage. They blocked off the scene with a black
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: tarp and had everything you could ever want to see
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: at such a house. A psycho shower scene with a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: zombie crawling out of a toilet, ghules and imps climbing
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the tree, blood, gore, strobes, fog everything. I remember feeling terrified,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: even with my double lightsaber. Even though I was scared
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to death to walk through it. I always admired the workmanship,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: as I I knew that the props they had were
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: either really expensive or took some good effort to make.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: To this day, I've never seen a better yard than that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: AS always every year. I saw the house owners sitting
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on their porch, reveling in the terror they brought to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood and handing out candy. So I nervously crossed
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the yard past flying banshees and impaled corpses. I noticed
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the main attraction at the end of the line. There
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on what I guess was probably the driveway, was the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: bottomless pit attraction. The illusion bewildered and chilled me, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: though it was only lit by the lone light bulb,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it made the box glow like a low burning furnace.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I must have stared at it for a while when
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I suddenly heard a cough and a low, hushed voice
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to my right. I don't really remember what was said,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but I want to say it sounded something like, hey,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: check this out, or Hey, I want to show you something,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: in a gruff and harsy kind of tone. I looked
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: over and saw nothing but the wide gate to what
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was clearly the side of the owner's house. There was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just a faint amount of light from the glowing pit
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to illuminate the outlines of the gated fence. After adjusting
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my eyes, I noticed a figure standing completely still. In fact,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it was so still, I remember thinking it was just
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: another static prop. My young mind just didn't register a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: lot of this and was still looking for the voice
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I heard, not realizing it had come from the figure,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: who I could still only barely make out. After a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: few moments, I heard the voice again. I realized it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: had come from the figure and began to approach it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: This was obviously a stupid idea, but in comparison to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: everything else that was happening around me, this figure seemed
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: anything but imposing, so I cautiously approached the figure, trying
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to make sense of it. Suddenly, the figure began to move,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and consequently I froze solid. The light from the amber
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: glow lit up its face just enough for me to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: make out its features. This I do remember clearly. It
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: was a scraggly and rough looking man with a coarse
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: gray beard and yellow teeth. His weathered and tattered clothing
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. He was
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: smiling at me, though I had no idea why, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it unsettled me greatly. Under the hellish glow of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: light bulb behind me, it all felt wrong. It was
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: as if, at that moment I had acquired some clarity
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and realized his presence. He obviously was not part of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the show, and considering I already also saw the owners,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he clearly did not belong on the property. I screamed
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and ran out of there as fast as I could
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to the exit, not looking behind for a second. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: probably got a few looks from the other kids around us,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: but as soon as I found my parents waiting outside,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I told them about the man I saw. I saw
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one of the owner's approach and asked if everything was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: all right. I said something like I didn't like the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: old man by the gate. He looked at me for
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a second and went what man. I never went back
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: there ever again. Number two. Several years ago, right before
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I was about to leave for trick or treating on Halloween,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I got into a fight with my mum. I had
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: told her I was going to pick up a friend
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and go out with that friend, but my mom insisted
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I had an adult with me. I raged, thinking it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: would be too embarrassing to have to follow around an
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: adult like a child. I was old enough to look
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: after myself, or at least I thought so. After the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: episode with my mom, I ran to my room enraged
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that she would do that to me. However, instead of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: obeying her, I advised a plan to get what I wanted.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: My younger brother and sister were going to go trick
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: or treating with my mom and my mom's friend and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: her son. I decided that I would tell my mom
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I was sorry for lashing out and that I was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: going to stay home and pass out candy. Then, after
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: she left with my siblings, I was going to go
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: out like I had planned. I had planned it perfectly too.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I knew what time they were going to come back home,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I knew what route they were going to take, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I congratulated myself for my cunning plan. After my family left,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I got together my costume. I was going as a gangster,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: which was probably the worst thing I could have done,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but I was blinded by my excitement to realize my mistake.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: My mind went wild with all the things I could
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: do now that my parents were gone, I could really live.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I got so deep into this idea of being on
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: my own that I decided I was going to trick
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: or treat on my own and called my friend to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: tell her I was canceling another huge mistake. I left
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the house with quite a bit of confidence in myself.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The first street I went down went great. I got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: loads of candy and was having a great time once again.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: My excitement and confidence blinded me from the strange looks
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I got from being alone. I turned left down another street,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: my pride building with every step. I was almost at
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the end of the street, thinking of ways to explain
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: all the candy i'd got to my parents when I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: realized I was being followed. By the time I had
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: come to this realization, I was at the section of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the street where it was kind of out in the open,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: no trees between the sidewalk and the road, and I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: didn't see any other kids near me. There was a car,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and quite a trashy one at that, following a few
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: feet behind me. All my confidence had vanished and my
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: hair stood on end. I glanced behind myself at the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: car and all the windows were down and three men
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: were in the car, all smoking cigarettes. They were glaring
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: right at me. As soon as I caught their stare,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all the warnings my mother had given me about creeps
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: like this hit me in the head. I looked down
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: at my gangster costume and knew I blew it. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: looked like a thug. I quickly turned back around and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: started walking, my heart beating out of my chest. My
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: whole body went numb, and I instantly forgot how to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: do everything et scept walk forward. I was at the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: last house on the street, with the car still following
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: close behind, when I made the split decision to turn
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: up the driveway of the last house. Now, the house
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I turned to was completely abandoned and had been for years.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The windows were boarded up and the front yard had
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: been scattered in junk. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the house was abandoned too. The car stopped right in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: front of the house, and everyone inside the car was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: just staring directly at me. I walked up to the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: front porch and turned around, thanking God for the tall
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: bushes blocking the porch from the street and blocking the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: creeper's view. I stood there for at least a minute,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: staring right back at them, knowing I wasn't going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: make it. My heart thumped out of my chest and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I could hear it ringing in my ears. One of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: them got out of the car. He stood and looked
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: directly at me through the bushes and into my soul.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I stood holding the rusty doorknob, staring right back at him.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: We must have stood like that for a long ten
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: seconds before the man got back into the car and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they peeled down the street. Once they were gone, I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: ran as fast as I could across the street and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: up the opposite direction, frantically looking for someone I knew.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I spotted my brother's friend and his mother and walked
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: right behind them until they reached my street. I got
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a few weird looks from my mum, but I really
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: didn't care. I ran up to my house and cried
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: myself to sleep. I still live in the same neighborhood,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and every time I passed the abandoned house, I silently
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: thank it for saving my life. I don't know why
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the creeps didn't come after me, as they likely knew
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that the house was also abandoned.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: This upcoming Halloween will be my fortieth birthday, and even
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: after nearly twenty five years, the terrifying memory of that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: night has never faded. You See, I lost my virginity
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in a pumpkin patch on Halloween. I know cliche. Specifically,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I lost it in the bed of a pickup truck
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: while it was parked in the pumpkin patch. To give
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you an idea, the patch was maybe eighty by one
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: hundred feet and fenced off by wire mesh to prevent
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: cows from getting in. The truck was parked just inside
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the only gate. Myself and my date had settled there
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: right before the sun went down. My house was just
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: across the street from the pumpkin patch. We shared a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: bottle of wine, awkwardly talked for a while, and then
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: got to business. My family had two border collies, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: as we were changing positions, the dogs wandered in and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: started barking at us. My date and I paused and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: drunkenly playfully began throwing scraps of food out into the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: pumpkins for them the chase. After a couple of minutes
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of that, we continued where we left off. After we
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: were done, we sat there in the truck and looked
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: up at the stars while the dogs wandered around sniffing
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: random things. After a short while, I saw my father
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: return home, pulling into the driveway across the street. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: dogs bounded out of the patch towards him, and me
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and my date quickly began to dress ourselves. Once we
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: were fully clothed. We just sat on the tailgate and
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: kept talking as we watched my dad pet the dogs
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and go into the house. It was about then that
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: we heard it, a rustling sound coming from the patch
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: somewhere behind us. We both paused and turned. At this point,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: there was only moonlight to illuminate our surroundings, but it
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: was enough, and this is exactly what we saw. A
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: single pumpkin began to rise up out of the patch,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: but not like someone was lifting it. It was kind
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of sideways, like I had been resting on its side
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and was now sitting up. For a split second, I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: thought someone was rising this pumpkin out of the patch
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: on a stick or a metal bar, But then the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: stick changed position. It coiled like a snake and then
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: shot straight up, like a man would be if he
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: went from a squatting position into a standing position. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: then saw two spinly legs with knee joints protruding from
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the thing, but no arms. There was a buzzing in
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: my ear, and all of a sudden, my date screamed.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: We both jumped off the truck and booked it out
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of the patch and sprinted towards my house. I glanced
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: back once, and I'll swear on whatever you want me
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to swear on. A tall, skeletal figure was leaning over
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the truck where we had both been sitting, and I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: caught a glimpse of two beady red eyes staring back
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: at me. It made it to my garage and forced
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: our way through the kitchen door. I began screaming at
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: my dad to get his gun. It wasn't until I
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: saw the blood on the kitchen floor that I realized
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that my nose had been bleeding. Even more alarming, my
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: date's nose was gushing blood as well. I told my
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: dad that there was someone in the pumpkin patch, and
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: he grabbed his gun and power walked out of the house,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the dogs following closely behind him, but they stopped halfway there,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: refusing to come any closer to the pumpkin patch. When
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: my dad returned, he was livid. He wanted to know
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: what had damaged the fence and broke the tailgate off
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: my truck, which technically was his truck. I could only
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: shiver in confusion and abject terror. He reported that something
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: had not the tailgate right off the truck and then
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: tore out of the patch from inside and destroyed a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: huge section of fence. I didn't sleep at all that night.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I cowered in tearor in the living room with all
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the lights on. The Next day, the police came and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: examined the scene. The wire fence had been torn out
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: of the ground and dragged a short distance away. There
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: was no clear indication of what specifically had done it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: My father and the police were convinced that it was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a trust passer pulling a Halloween prank, but I never
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: believed that for a moment. I tried to explain that
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the dogs had been pounding through the patch minutes before
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the thing had appeared, and neither of them had made
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a sound to alert us that there was a trus
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: passer near by. Furthermore, the entry gate to the patch
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: made plenty of noise whenever the wind rattled it, so
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: if someone climbed over it, it would make even more noise,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and we had been sitting right by the gate. Another
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: thing that terrified me is the shape of the thing
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: as it stood. Even if it was a trespasser with
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: an elaborate costume, none of that would even begin to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: explain the tail gate, the destroyed fence the nosebleeds, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: our dogs being too nervous to approach the patch or
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the eyes I had caught a glimpse of. My father
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: went to his grave, believing that we had been vandalized
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: by trespassers. My date and I concluded later that whatever
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it was, it hadn't been human or an animal. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: don't tell the story often because I mostly get the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: same Charlie Brown joke it was the Great Pumpkin, so
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: no one really takes me seriously. But I've heard that
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: skin walkers can take the form of anything that best
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: suits their surroundings. Our property wasn't anywhere near a Native
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: American reservation, but I can't think of anything else it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: could have been, So what do you think it was.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: It's been ten years since I've spoken about this incident.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: On Halloween of two thousand and nine, me and my
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: younger sister, along with a couple of friends, went out
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to trick or treat. I was only eight years old
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: at the time, my younger sister was five. Friend's older
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: brother was seventeen, and it was his responsibility to look
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: after us that night. This took place in London, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: at the time we hardly had any crimes in our area.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: The night went off without a hitch, and we were
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: all planning on calling an evening since we had collected
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: enough candy. My best friend's older brother was just about
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to call my dad, but before he could dial the number,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: he received a call from my dad. He let him
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: know where to come to pick us up, and after
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a few minutes, my dad came and collected me and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: my sister. We said goodbye to our friends and thanked
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: them for the fun evening. As my dad was driving
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: my sister and I back home, he seemed on edge.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Now since I was only eight. I kept babbling on
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: about how much candy we had collected and how I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: couldn't wait to get home to eat them. My dad
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't listening. He just looked really anxious about something. As
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: soon as we got back home, entered my house to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: find my mother, my aunt, and my cousins sitting in
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the living room. I greeted them, and my mother hugged
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: both me and my sister. My dad sat us down
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and told us that we could never go out trick
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: or treating ever again. Now because I was eight, I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: began throwing a tantrum, complaining how I loved Halloween and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: my parents were being unfair. My little sister was too
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: young to even care. She was too busy going through
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the candy that we had collected. So after two thousand
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and nine, me and my sister never went out for Halloween.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: We didn't bother throwing a tantrum since we knew it
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: would be pointless. However, in twenty twelve, my brother was born,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and last year, in twenty eighteen, he turned six, my
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: father finally relented and agreed to take my little brother
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and my sister out trick or treating. By this time,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Halloween had lost its appeal for me, and I didn't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: want to go out anyway. My little brother gets his
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: way since he's the youngest and he loves Halloween. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: decided to ask my mom why she didn't allow me
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and my sister to go out on Halloween after two
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: thousand and nine. She sighed and explained to me that
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a boy from our neighborhood had gone out trigg or
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: treating in the same area. He was with his friends,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: but had somehow separated from the group. He ended up
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: knocking on the door of an old house that was
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: located at the end of a quiet street. I'll spare
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you the gory details, but the boy's body was found
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: in that house after several people heard screaming and called
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the police. The boy's arm had been removed from his body,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and he died from blood loss. The police had been
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: going door to door warning parents about what happened, and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: that's when my dad came and collected us. My mother
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: told me that they arrested an old, mentally deranged man
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in connection with the crime. But Halloween would never be
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the same again for my neighborhood. I had heard rumors
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: about a boy who was killed on Halloween at my school,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: but I never took it seriously. I thought it was
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: just a local urban legend. But now I understood why
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: my dad looked so worried that night. The house where
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the boy was found, which is only a few blocks
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: away from mine, now sits abandoned with its windows boarded up.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: People around here jokingly referred to it as the Myers House.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Halloween is pretty much ruined for me. I'll be staying
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: home again this year. However, my brother, who's now seven,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: can't wait for Halloween. I just hope my dad keeps
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a close eye on him.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I was around that time in my life where most
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: kids my age would stop trick or treating, either because
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: they thought it was lame or because their parents told
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: them to stop. My father and I had a similar conversation,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and in the end we decided that this trickle treat
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: would be the final one. So when October thirty first came,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: my dad helped me pay my face to look like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a zombie. I figured that this costume should be simple,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: yet something I liked, so zombie it was. I grabbed
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: an empty pillowcase and headed out with my parents telling
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: me to be back by elevenish. Before you ask, yes,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I was going trick or treating by myself. I was
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: able to convince my parents that I needed to get
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: as much candy as I could, seeing as how I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do this again next year. So
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: off I went, running from house to house, shoving candy
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: into my pillowcase as fast as I could, so by
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the time it got dark, my pillow was about three
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: quarters filled and I had no intent on slowing down.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: As I'm about to walk into a new neighborhood, a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: black van pulls up to the curb and was about
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a few feet away from me. The door opens and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: out of the darkness comes some guy in a hockey
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: mask and tatter jacket wielding a machete. He turns his
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: head towards me, probably trying to creep me out. Nice
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Jason costume, I say, trying to be friendly as I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: begin to walk past him. Thanks, zombie, you want some candy,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I've got bags of them, he says as he pulls
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: out his little white sacks of candy. So I, being
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the idiot fourteen year old, I was open my pillowcase
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and let him PLoP two or three sacks into it.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Make sure you eat them real soon. You'll love them,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: he snickered, which really sent a chill down my spine.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: He left as quickly as he came, but I just
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: shrugged it off as I needed to finish trick or treating.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I continued down the road again, going from house to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: house for candy. After about the third or fourth house,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I noticed something odd. It was the same black van
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: from before. After every house I went to, the van
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: would get closer and closer, and around what I could
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: only guess was ten thirty, I headed home with my
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: sack full of candy. As I walked the area behind me. Illuminated,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I turned around, expecting to see a car that would
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: soon pass me. It was the van, and in the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: driver's seat was the same guy who had the Jason
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mask on, the same guy that gave me the candy.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: My heart stopped and I broke into a mad dash
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: back to my house, the van easily keeping up with me.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I was luckily able to lose him by running into
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the woods near my house. I exited the woods that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: lead to the side of my house and I looked
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: for the fake rock that held the spare key to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: our house. After I got in, I put my candy
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: on the kitchen table and somehow found a way to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. The next morning, when I woke up,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: my parents were sitting at the kitchen table digging around
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: through the bags of candy that Jason gave me. They
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: started asking me who and where I got the bags from,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: which started to freak me out. I would later learn
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that the bags of candy were nothing more than just
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a bag of prescription drugs. There was a ton of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: sleeping pills in them, and I finally understood his intentions.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: He was going to follow me until I fell asleep,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and then who knows what with me after he got
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: me in the van. Now that I think about it,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether or not that machete he had
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: was fake or not. The police came up empty handed,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: so I guess I'll never know his fate.
