Hello Everyone:
Megan and Angel here. Welcome to autumn and Halloween. How is everyone? I have my house decorated for Halloween. I will be scrap booking Halloween pages later this month. Check out the neat Halloween sigs made by Angel.Angel loves to do art work. Angel still lives in Illinois and me in Indiana. Angel will be sharing a story with you. Grab some apple cider and a donut and we will be writing about ghosts. Angel has a story to share with you. So, here is Angel, whom I love dearly and my best friend. Here is the story she wants to share.

Angel here!}Hi Everybody!
On this Halloween, I want to share a story with you.What Halloween means to me, every year kids look forward to Halloween. Parents take them shopping for the perfect costume. The thought of decorating the house with pumpkins in the entrance of the front door with a candle in it, orange lights telling the kids to come on in. We have candy. The sound of the kids running around the driveway with their costumes. Little witches, little devils, angels, fairies and Princesses. This is Halloween. I miss my son. I remember when I used to take him trick or treating. It was so much fun. He was so cute in his costume. Sometimes he got scared especially in the homes with scary sounds and the person opening the door was very scary. I had to step up with him and let him know that it was okay and tell him that he was wearing a costume and that he was a nice person. That was scary for him. After a few hours of walking a few blocks, he would he tell me that was tired and that he thought he had plenty of candy. When we got home, we had to check all his candy to make sure that it was safe for him to eat. Besides, I got some of his chocolates. I use to buy so much candy and had plenty of kids at my front door. I always had plenty of candy left over which was good for me. I love treats. From this day, I miss him. In the back of my mind, he is all dressed up and ready to go trick or treating. Kids grow up so fast. One day, they are small and need their parents protection. Now, they are all grown up and gone. All mothers out there with little ones, remember they don't stay little forever. Tomorrow, they will be all grown up and gone. So make the best of it. Take them our for Halloween, let them have fun and enjoy the spirit of the holiday!
I think this Halloween, I will get into the spirit and get some nice pumpkins,put the porch light on and pass out candy. It sounds like fun plus I get to see those little monsters running around in their cute costumes! Well, that's all folks! Until next time. I hope I didn't put you to sleep with my story. Ha! Ha! Happy Halloween! The Witch of the Midwest, Me! Angel!

Thanks, Angel! That was beautiful! Megan here. My son has dressed up like Marilyn Manson, Eddy Munster, a German Kaiser and he is thirty years old now. He and his wife like to go to Halloween parties.

As promised, we are going to talk about ghosts. The first ghost was seen as early as 2000 BC. Gilgamesh and Enkidu were soldiers and Enkidu was killed and came back to see his friend Gilgamesh.

The Tower of London has a long and bloody history. Ghosts have haunted the tower since 1674.Anne Boleyn's ghost has been seen in the tower. We remember how her husband King Henry VIII had the poor woman beheaded. She has unfinished business and comes back to haunt the Tower. A sentry once thought that he saw a bear in front of the Jewel House. He shot the bear with a bayonet but it went right through the bear and the sentry passed out and was found by another sentry but the sentry died later.

A palace guard later saw the bear in 1816 and he attempted to shoot the bear with a bayonet but the guard died of shock.

Another sentry saw a shapeless white ghost on top of the tower. It is believed to be that of Lady Jane Grey.

In Rome, Brutus claimed that he saw the ghost of Julius Caesar.

Dying people claim that they see relatives and friends who have died and that they are waiting for them.

In Albany, Texas, some children were killed in a bus when a train hit them.Late at night, if you stall your vehicle and are parked by the railroad tracks, you will see baby powder on your car in the shape of children's hand prints. It is as if the children were trying to push your car on the tracks.

At Bull Run, Custer's Land Stand, you can hear voices and screams of Indians and soldiers.

In Taunton, Massachusetts, a rocking chair sits on a grave where a child is buried. People can see her ghost in the rocking chair while it glows at night.

In Elliot City, Maryland at Heart Beat Bridge years ago, a man cut out a woman's heart in a house near by. He threw the heart in the stream under the bridge. If you park your car and turn off the engine, you can hear the woman's heart beating.

Angel and I hope you have enjoyed these scary stories. We enjoy writing the newsletter. If you have any Christmas poems, stories or items, please send them to Angel or myself. We will use them in the newsletter. Happy Halloween! Enjoy the beauty of the autumn and pray the economy gets better. See you in December. Love: Megan and Angel
