Halloween Spirits


The best costume I ever wore was when I was in the fourth grade. Growing up I loved the Wizard of Oz and my grandparents even bought me a pop story book. I read that book at least once a day, so when it came time for Halloween I knew exactly what I wanted to be, Dorothy. Since I already had the brown hair I thought I was destined to be Dorothy for Halloween, not to mention my dog Cody could play Toto perfectly. I braided my hair into pigtails and I tied them together with a red bow. The red bow matched my ruby red heels. I even had the little basket meant for Toto, but I used it for candy.

2 vampire fang

1 drop of ghost sweat

5 strands of werewolf hair

1 dead man’s toe

Spit of the witches using the potion

          This potion is used for old ugly witches hoping to be beautiful once again. Once the witches have brewed this potion one witch must then find a young child and have them drink the potion. After a few minutes the child will start to glow and that is when the witches can start to suck the life out of them. Sucking the life out of children gives the witches youth and they become beautiful.

My favorite Halloween treats would be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey’s, and Baby Ruth bars. The best Halloween treat I’ve ever received was when I was trick or treating with my parents and in my neighborhood. In my neighborhood there is this really old couple that always passes out candy. This Halloween though they decided to give out king sized candy bars and at this age that was a BIG deal. I remember bragging to my classmates that I got this king sized candy bars.  This next one really isn’t my favorite one, but it is definitely the weirdest treat I’ve gotten. Every year at this one house the owners would give out candy, but they wouldn’t give out just candy. They always gave a container of mustard too. I’m sure my dad loved that house because he always uses mustard and he got a free bottle of it.

Halloween costumes that I’ve had in the past are a pumpkin, my first Halloween, a devil, for my second Halloween, and a princess for my third Halloween. I’ve had many other costumes, but I can’t remember what age I was when I wore them. I’ve also been a cheerleader, Dorothy, a vampire queen, Raggedy Anne, a clown, and Diva.

  1. Mustard??? That's funny. One of them must have worked out at the French's plant off I-44?
