Athena gets scurvy for Halloween. Arrr!

Time to catch up on the second part of the Weekend Assignment's Halloween stories! I delayed these a day to have these on the actual Halloween day (here are the ones from Saturday), and well, here we are, so let's get to it!

Teeisme57 lets someone come between her and danger.

Treesoup1 meets a ghost called Bobby.

Nbladylions' Halloween prank involves a car. Look out!

Ikoiko33: "Now, I've always been a skeptic when it comes to ghosts and life beyond the grave, but it is cases like this that makes me wonder..."

Hewasolddog299 isn't afraid of anything on Halloween.

Sdoscher458 breaks out the Ouija board.

Spooky pictures from Redonionsauce! And Myheartsaysso2!

JGrand1: "I don’t remember ever being actually scared on Halloween, as I was quite willing to brave any creepiness to get that candy.  However, I DO remember scaring the hell out of my Brownie troop on the occasion of a Halloween backyard campout..."

Excellent stories all. Thanks to everyone for getting their spook on. It was bonechilling.

  I'm fairly new at all of this for journals, especially when it comes to linking mine, as well as working with pictures. I have a true story about a ghost, if anyone is interested. And I love the song "Monster Mash", drive my teens buggy with it - lol. Also enjoy the Halloween songs, "Purple People Eater", and "Witch Doctor"...You know the one...I told the witch docotr I was in love with you (like the version by Alvin and the Chipmunks, for the kid in all of us).

  Did a lot of pirates carry around big, Richard The Lionhearted kind of swords? She looks like she was heading off to liberate Jerusalem, and she fell in with a very influential band of gypsies.
  
  If it ever comes down to it, a sword should be no higher than the sword-bearer's waist.
  
  My husband tried to buy one of those Frankensteins like the one behind Shorty Rock there, and I told him that he couldn't bring it into the house. It dances, no?
