HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It was certainly a depressing place with a huge gambol roof

which came down over the upper window

and nearly obscured them.

There was a half moon, and by it's light

they could see the garden

was a tangle of scrappy, winter vegetation,

which had in some places,

almost overgrown the path.

It was all very still, very gloomy

and very ominous.

.by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

So if you are out tonight on your trick and treat rounds and see such a place walk and speak softly and be sure to hold tightly onto your bag.
