Halloween was here it was time for trick or treat mostly to the kids themselves I had three,there in fact were a wooded area nearby we live on a street that was nice neighbors were friendly and a hello was the best part of the day,it was four that afternoon when the uneasy feeling I had started,we were carving pumpkins and telling ghost stories,we felt the cold chill come through the open kitchen window and we carve'As I said,'I
knew where the body was in the woods and so me and my friends,my best friends Sam and Sally then
decided too take one weekened and go exploring the woods,the body was that of a local kid from our school as the story goes he was abused by his family publicly disgrace and one day for reasons still unknown the mother and father bought him out too the woods too beat him to death and they buried the body near one of the oldest trees there left a tombstone marker with his name written in blood,Jacob,now years later it had been reported by witnesses Jacob was in fact seen walking through the woods carrying the strap and a hatchet his parents had beat him with,now either on All Hallow's Eve the night before Halloween or on Halloween he could be seen in the street just before our house screaming waving the strap and hatchet and dripping in blood we could not hear what he was saying but we saw him though we were not scared enough to move we couldn't we couldn't afford it,one night one terrible night as my family slept we had a baby among us,Lilly she was two,as the rest of the house slept the intercom was on so we could hear Lilly in case anything happened my room was right next to hers.
But unfortunately Jacob never gave up and entered our house,he carefully walk up through the house
to the second floor where she was,passing through the door he started too the crib suddenly the house had a cold chill to it,Jacob using the strap strangled Lilly leaving her body in the crib
he was gone two years passed no one saw Jacob again we all mourned the loss of Lilly as I did some research Jacob as young as he was had gotten married and had two children one was a little girl name Lillian.' My kids look at me,' Was that a true story mom,' ask my son as he finished then carving a smile. 'Yes because poor dear Lilly was mine,you two came months after she was killed by
Jacob.'Miles away in the wooded area Jacob closed his eyes set the strap and hatchet down by his grave and screamed the woods echoing the scream.
happy Halloween .He entered the grave and the woods were suddenly chilled with cold air that passed through the woods Jacob's soul was at rest for now that is until next Halloween,ha ha ha.....
