Hello Everyone,
As you all know Halloween is quickly approaching! I was wondering if anyone had any spooky stories or have had any strange occurrences on this day in years past.
Trick or Treat!

Full Version: Halloween
Yeah I do..ok into story telling mode! this is a true story that happend on halloween night quite a few years ago.
Sets the scene
Small ancient hump bridge on a country backroad at around 11:30pm at night. Four friends and myself in my car sitting on the bridge, engine off, windows down, lights off and in complete darkness...
The atmosphere was really errie, the air was crispy cold but still. It was a quiet quiet night out there in the dark scottish wilderness that outskirted our homes. In the icey silences that seperated our conversations....you could have litterly heard a pin drop.
And then after sometime we started to relax and adapt to the atmosphere. It didn't seem so bad, it was peacful and just us, nothing else....
All of a sudden we became aware of muffled footsteps on the road. It seemed like it was coming from behind us. A sort of hesitant but playful pitter patter, coming and going on the road surface...close by.
We all froze with apprehension, we slowly but knownly looked at each other. We strained our ears as hard as we could, trying to determine if it was behind us or not. Everything went silent, my friend sitting in the passenger seat next to me voiced his thoughts, was it one set of footsteps or more? was it really footsteps at all? we weren't really sure.
The others in the back were starting to get scared. When suddenly the next thing we heard was the faint sound of giggling children. Young giggling children, impossible! what would children so young be doing out in the middle of nowhere at this time of night! It was after all now the witching hour...
With that everyone began to freak, they shouted at me to go, go now they said! lets get the F out of here!! Before I knew it I had the engine on and off in a fast wheelspin, I slapped the lights on and pulled the car up to a quick halt. I stuck the gears into reverse to engage the reverse lights. Could we see children? No! nothing at all, just an errie empty bridge

Well, now you probably fear the laughter of small children, huh?
nothing that scary on that specific night. The only thing would be that my sister stepped in poop with her shoes off.
But not all that scary eh?

Have to ask Anvil, have you ever been back?
I don't have a 'Halloween' story to tell .. but thnx for sharing your story Anvil .. that is eerie. Have you researched or know the history of that area?

nah not at all lol

Yeah, I've been down that road lots of time since but I've never gone back late at night in that way, yet.

The history of the area is steep and very old, dates back to before/during roman settlement. About 3 miles away there was a roman fort ( doesn't exist anymore) although the burriel mound is believed to. It's now part of a golfcourse. I have never come across any recorded stories about missing children. The nearest sign of life in any direction of the bridge is a couple of miles where there are some farms. About 2 miles up the road there used to be remains of an early settlement (village) that dates back to 16th C ( I think) will need to double check that. The settlment as far as I know deceased about 150 - 200 years ago..
I have no stories to tell. But I feel like something is out there in the darkness. Of course I could be wrong, but I like the darkness that comes with the day. XP
Halloween!!! Eeeek!!! My favorite holiday ever!!!!! I have no stories to tell, sorry.

Well told!
Your writing is skilled and wonderful!
And we should always know to fear giggling children...
Thanks Lady Warrior, but my spelling sucks 
You should go back this year anvil, you might see something no one's ever seen. You can bring your friends along so it won't be so scary, oh yeah and a camera too.

I, for one, would love to be in Scotland, (that's where you are, right?), or anywhere near Wales for Halloween/Samhain! I just need to win the lottery, see...
BOO lol
