Halloween at Lake Lanier
Rumor has it there is a forgotten city at the bottom of that Lake. No one can seem to confirm or deny it, but no one can refute the deaths that keep happening either. Every week a soul is sacrificed -- giving that Lake an invisible supply of insatiable deaths. This year alone, 60 people have died and two more were added five days ago. There are two and a half more months left in this year and plenty more bodies to be added.

The Dead in the Pool
I was housesitting for my boss. She was a best-selling author of horror stories. She wrote of ghosts, primarily, and their phantasmal interactions with the living. I had been looking forward to this housesitting job for weeks, not just for what she said she’d pay me, but I wanted to see inside her house. Her home was built against a hillside in a modern, simple style. It’s mostly concrete and glass, quite plain, really, but it has a large atrium in the middle of it and a swimming pool was installed there.

October has here, which means that the most contentious holiday of the year - Halloween - is quickly coming.

That's correct, we're discussing children.

The Pond. Top Story - October 2021.
It was early in the morning. The sun hadn’t risen yet and the sky was a deep medium blue. The moon was still out, bathing the town in a soft ambient light. A blanket of fog was on the ground, giving everything an ominous air. Last night’s rain dripped rhythmically from the eaves of the house. Lila made her way softly down the front steps, the only sound coming from the gentle swishing of her nightgown. Drip, drip, swish. Drip, drip, swish. She put her foot down slowly to avoid a squelching sound as her feet made contact with the mud. The moisture seeped through her socks, making her feet clammy. The thick fog made her hair frizz and her nightgown cling to her legs. She shivered from the cold. Squelch, squelch, squelch, went her feet. Swish, swish, swish, came her nightgown. She made her way to the cobblestone road. Where will I go today? she asked herself automatically. She paused, waiting for the mechanical answer of, back inside, but it didn’t come. Instead, she heard, to the pond. Without hesitation, she turned to the left and walked silently to the pond. Her footfalls came in soft thuds, rather than squelches. She walked about a mile out. Thud, thud, swish. Thud, thud, swish.

Demeter
Standing on the deck, gazing out over the waves, the predator sensed movement and vanished in an instant. The crew of this ship, small though it was, were in numbers great enough that the predator might have trouble, should any know of his kind. It was likely that they would have some knowledge; sailors had ever been a superstitious lot, and this was a crew from Russia, close enough to his home to have heard tales aplenty. Ten days ago, they had left the port at Varna, heading to Whitby.

The Greene Man
Our old house was covered in wisteria, it had crawled up the place years ago, and decided to live there too- the arrangement being that it could have all the brickwork it wanted, as long as it left the windows alone. Even so, every summer without fail it would bravely drip its blooms over the head of every pane, and for a time purple aspect would be cast on each room when the sun rose or set. It was much like this- wood, plaster and skin painted as such – during my parents' separation. That I still remember more than anything, fragmented and foggy as my recollection is since I was only 10 or 11 at the time, but the odd sensation of being curled up, ears covered and cheeks all salt-burnt and wet so often, and just being able to stare and stare at the purple on the wall until I could no longer hear them, that's still indelible, still visible to me as the last impression of a kind of life short-lived on my part. For a long time after this, unless perhaps from somewhere within the blinking light of an answering machine, I would rarely see my father. His great mistake was, I think, the adoption of some idea, misconceived in the mist of mid-life perhaps, of 'going all the way'. He had always wanted to build a house, one that was truly for him, and so that was exactly what he did; as a preeminent architect he was a member of one of those few professions where you're afforded the luxury of standing in the shadow of your own creation- I believe he wished to bathe in it, and that Llyn-Rhyfedd was where he went to do so.

The Lake
I don’t know why I agreed to this. I mean, seriously, who goes and camps in the middle of nowhere on Friday the 13th? Crazy people, that’s who. Jensen dragged me out here a few hours ago, and whilst he is having the time of his life, I am trying to figure out a way to convince him to go home. So far the only thing that has a possibility of working is to knock him out and carry him home, but I’m not strong enough to do that by myself.

Halloween in Europe
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love trying to convert my home into a haunted house to entertain the trick-or-treaters, and of course, that also means trips to Spirit Halloween. However, my best travel-related Halloween memories include visiting Castle Frankenstein in Germany and Transylvania in Romania.

Beware Halloween Is Coming
Halloween Pranks and Candy Apples The traditional colors of Halloween are orange and black and these also come from the pagan celebrations of the autumn and harvest. The orange color symbolizes the color of crops and changing leaves. As for black, it symbolizes the “death” of summer and the changing of the seasons. Other colors have been added to Halloween decorations and they include yellow, purple and green.
