A Night on Halloween Street

It was a dark and gloomy night and Paul, the night watchman for the local cemetery was working late. The midnight fog rolled in particularly early this night. Paul’s job was to walk around the old cemetery and make sure no one was vandalizing the tombstones. At the end his shift he went into the church to make sure no one broke into the two hundred-year-old church.
As he was checking the back room he heard some one walking up the steps the church bells!
He yelled “Hello!” He didn’t hear anything. Since no one said anything he started to climb the stairs. He had to be careful since the five flights of stairs were older than him. When he got close to the top he felt a cold draft. Someone opened the only window at the top, which was impossible because no one could even open it with tools.
As he closed the window Paul noticed a little girls doll right underneath him. When he picked up the doll he heard a faint, but distinct giggle of a young girl.
Paul yelled “Hey stop!” Paul ran as fast as he could down the stairs. He could feel his stomach starting to tighten up as he got closer to the bottom floor. When he got to the bottom, the floor gave out. When he awoke from the 10-foot fall he noticed some odd shapes. Paul’s flashlight was still at the window on top of the stairs. He still had his cigarette lighter, which would have to do. He looked around for a light switch. H e heard strange noises in the corner and hurried to switch on the lights.
Paul couldn’t believe his eyes, it was a cemetery under the ground with headstones and flowers. The cemetery wasn’t very old either. Paul remembered hearing about something like this of over population.
As Paul was trying to get out a creepy, and mysterious old man appeared out of no where. He called out to Paul and said “welcome to Halloween street, hahaha!” then all of a sudden the lights went out. Paul was in shock and a sharp piercing in his back, which was a knife, that was jabbed there by something! Paul screamed in pain and agony and knew there was nothing to do but pull out the knife. All Paul could do there was lay.
No one came for Paul and so he died there where no body would find him.

“It's haunted.” Carren said as she looked down Halloween Street. Carren is what many people call a scaredy-cat. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She hates dirt and germs, and she, most of all, hates gory, bloody, horror movies.
Lauren, on the other hand, loves gory things, blood, and movies that could haunt her for the rest of her life. She is tall, brown-headed, and has a scar on her left leg that is in the shape of a scar. Her favorite game to play is to find out how she got her mysterious scar.
Jenny is exactly like Lauren. Ever since they became friends on the first day of Kindergarden, they have been like two peas in a pod.
Carren has not been friends with Lauren and Jenny that long. She moved from Wintucket, a little city in Idaho, in the sixth grade. They are all in the seventh grade now and they are best friends.
Many people come to their little city of Nanook (in Florida) looking for a home in their little neighborhood. When they see that there is no room for them there, they leave and never come back. So a weird man named Grayson (he's lived in the town for a while) decided to do something one day about it.
Grayson was an old, pale man. His hair was as black as a night with no moon or stars. His hair came down to his neck and looked like it hasn't been combed for a month. He wore a black cowboy hat with a torn black jacket and dirty black pants. No one ever talked to Grayson.
Sometimes, at night, you can hear Grayson sing very softly. His voice is scratchy and deep and would scare a little kid away. His song is in a different language, one that no one in Nanook speaks. Then you hear a loud KABOOM!come from the park where he lives. People say that he is a warlock and casts spells on people that come too close to him. They vanish into thin air and are never seen again. They also say, for food, that he eats stray animals when he gets hungry. That's why the people of Nanook keep all their animals in cages or on leashes.
Grayson, one early morning, put a sign in the middle of a field beside the park that said, “Halloween Street.” Everyone always wondered what in the world Grayson was doing, but they were all too scared to ask him themselves. The field was not used by anybody or anything so the townspeople did not bother them.
Grayson worked all day and all night, moving at the speed of light, on his little, no, not little, big project. By the beginning of the next day, Grayson had built a big street full of houses of all different colors, shapes and sizes. Houses that only existed in your dreams existed on this little street. Grayson mumbled some words that no one could hear, and right away, twenty cars pulled in behind them with their realtors in the back seats. Everyone in Nanook was amazed at Grayson.
“How in the world could he have built a whole street in one day.” Carren asked. She sounded freaked out.
“I don't know,” Lauren said, “but that's so weird.”
“You know,” Jenny said, “this could be a real mystery that we can actually solve! Let's go get our stuff.”
The three girls rushed home to Lauren's house. That is where they keep all their detective things. When they got to the house, they rushed upstairs to Lauren's room and ran right toward the nightstand by Lauren's bed.
Lauren loved her room. If she wasn't with the girls, that is where she would be. All of her walls are black. On the wall in front of her bed is a magnifying glass that has Lauren on the handle of it. Her bed sheets and her window frames are grey. In the nightstand beside her bed are all of her detective things.
On the opposite wall of the magnifying glass is a wall with all of her scary posters and actors and actresses of her favorite horror movies. Her horror movies, TV, and VCR are beside that.
The three girls got all of their things out of the nightstand: a pocket knife (just in case), magnifying glass, tissues (for fingerprints), pens, pencils, paper, a tape recorder, and other things like cantines and watches (the essentials). Lauren left her mom a note and set it on the kitchen table so her parents wouldn't worry. She told her mom to tell the other girls' parents also.
As they headed toward the direction of Halloween Street, they heard a car following in behind them, so they naturally pulled over and waited for the car to pass them. When they realized nothing passed them, they looked behind them. Nothing was to be seen anywhere, the townspeople weren't even outside enjoying the lovely day. They assumed it was only their imagination so they shrugged and walked on.
When they heard the noise again, someone started to speak up. It was Carren of course. She spoke in a quiveing voice.
“Did you guys hear that, or was it just me?”
“I heard it, but I think it was just our imagination, don't you, Lauren?” Jenny said. She was thinking positive so she wouldn't freak out herself.
“Yeah, you're probably right, Lauren. Anyways, let's get moving. It will be dark in a couple hours.” Lauren led the way. Jenny and Carren followed her. As they were about ten feet away from Halloween Street, the car followed them again. Lauren, getting aggervated, turned around. No car. They heard the car rev up and round the curve into Halloween Street. The wind blew through their hair and threw chills down their spine.
As Carren shivered, she said,
“That was freaky. You guys felt that, didn't you?”
“Awww, c'mon, let's just ignore it. We're wasting time trying to figure out what is existing only in oyur imagination.” Jenny said to the girls. “We just all thought the same exact thing at the same exact time. It'll be O.K.” “You know, I don't see why we're going here to this street when the park's on the other side of town.” Carren said. “Why would we want to go to the Town Park?” Lauren asked, confused.
“Beacuse, “Carren tried to explain, “why would we come here and ask people who know diddly squat about this place when we can talk to Grayson who built it?”
Lauren and Jenny, both of which are feeling pretty stupid at the moment, said in unioson,
“Oops, you're right.”
So the girls walked to the town park, not saying a word. When they found Grayson laying on the park bench about to fall asleep, butterflies began to stir up in their stomachs. They all three took a deep breath and started taking little steps, one at a time, toward the mysterious man. Carren's eyes bulged. Lauren's hands shook. Jenny was wondering if this man was dangerous. They still walked toward him, facing their fears. Lauren and Jenny were surprised Carren hadn't ran to her house , screaming yet.
Lauren got her Tape recorder out and slowly turned it on. The other two did the same.
“Excuse me, sir.” Lauren said bravely, trying to get her shaky voice to diappear. Grayson looked up. Lauren noticed that he had a big scar on his left cheek. She tried not to stare at it.
“How'd you do it?” she asked.
“Do what?” Grayson's low, mumbly voice startled Lauren. When Jenny noticed that she stepped up and said,
“Halloween Street. You built it in one night!! That's amazing!”
Grayson could see the fear in Carren's eyes, and knew right away that she was familiar.
You see, about fifteen years ago, his daughter, Mary Ann, was riding her bike down the street. She was about the gilrs' age. She had blonde hair and was very pretty. Anyway, a little pick-up truck had rounded a corner too fast, lost control, abnd ran right into Mary Ann. The man died and so did Mary Ann. Grayson never got revenge from the man, and missed his daughter so bad. He died in his sleep over depression. Grayson, last Halloween, came back to get his daughter or the man who killed her. He was seeking revenge, and knew the girls could lead him to one of the two people.
“Mary Ann?” Grayson said, almost yelling. Tears formed in his eyes and rolled down his cheek. Carren looked at him like he was crazy. Grayson looked into Carren's eyes for a while. Jenny and Lauren noticed his eyes turn flaming red.
“No!” Jenny and Lauren screamed. They had watched a movie together called, “When the Dofters Play at Night.” Dofters are ghosts that come back in human form and takes something that he knew would have pleased him while he was living. The dofters live forever until they find the missing link of their lives. Carren seemed to be Grayson's. She was an exact replica of Mary Ann, and that was who Grayson was after. Dofters hypnotize the people with their eyes and make them faint. They then take the bodies and bury them in the grave with them. When the hypnotism fades away, the people are buried alive, and suffocate to death. It's a very horrible death.
Lauren and Jenny pushed Lauren to the ground, out of the vision of Grayson and yelled,
“Run!!!!!” Lauren and Jenny explained to Carren what was going on and then Carren began to sprint. All the exits to their house were blocked. Grayson had done that. Suddenly the daytime sky turned dark, only enough vision to see where they were going. Halloween Street was the only place that wasn't blocked off. The girls ran in.
They ran into the frist house they saw. The door was surprisingly open. When they got in, they saw two bats hanging from the ceiling above them.
“Uh-oh.” Lauren said. “I hope those aren't what I think they are.”
“They are. “Jenny said. “Just stay still and don't move whatever you do. They can't see good at all.Try your best to be quiet.”
The bats flew down onto Carren's shoulder. She started to sob, but remembered to be very quiet. The bats fell to the floor abnd evolved into a human-like figure. The man and woman standing in front of them were vampires! The girls ran out of the back door, afraid that Grayson was in the front, just waiting for their return.
They ran into the back door of the next house. Right when they went in, a very foul smell blowed in their faces.
“Why does Grayson want you?” Jenny asked Carren.
“I don't know.” Carrenn said, “I heard him say something like, 'Mary Ann, please don't leave me again!'. I am so scared! I wanna go home!” She fell down onto her hands and knees and began to cry full blast. Her tears dropped to the ground and started eating at the wood.
“Stop! You're gonna get us killed!” Jenny said. Carren stopped immediately when she heard a voice.
“Who shall come into my lair?” a shaky voice asked. An old woman with a humpback and a pointy black hat stood in fromt of the girls. They ran out of the house through the front door. Grayson was standing right in front of them. The girls froze. They could not speak. He grabbed Carren by the arm and said,
“I love you. Now you will be with me forever, right by my side for eternity.” He whispered this into her ear and forced her to look into his eyes. The other two just watched helplessly as Grayson hypnotized their dear, innocent friend.
As Carren fell to the ground, lifelessly, Grayson picked her back up into his arms, kissed her on the forehead and ran to the cemetery. The girls followed behind, not knowing how to do anything. Dofters are impossible to stop. Once their minds are on something, their minds are made up. He jumped into his old grave, Carren in his arms, and smiled. The girls burst out into tears.
They looked at the grave and cried harder. Their best friend was gone forever. They would never see her again. They could only think of her waking up in a cold, dark, dirty grave, in Grayson's arms, not being able to move, speak or breath. They hated that. They could not report it to anyone, because no one would have believed them. The people hearing the story would tell them they were crazy.
Always be prepared. You never know...Grayson could come to your town!

“Hurry up Venson! WE must get this tunnel finished tonight. You know the boss, fast fast fast! Plus, all the little trick-or-treaters will be coming through here tonight. Dang kids!” It was October 31, 1957 in the small town of Manville, Minnesota. A new tunnel was being built at the end of Halloween St.
“ I'm hurrying Bill. Chill out! I just have to finish this cement up here.” Venson was up on the ladder finishing the top of the tunnel.
“Meow!!!!” There was a black cat pacing underneath the ladder. Suddenly, the ladder started to shake.
“Bill, HHHHEEEELLLPPPPP!!!!”Venson was falling off the ladder. But it was weird how he fell. He landed right in the side of the tunnel and the wet cement just swallowed him right up. The tunnel was then named, Venson's Tunnel.
It was now October 31, 2002. Still in Manville the tunnel sit, but only it had changed. Wooden boards piled up the openings at each end, so that no one could get inside. A road was built around it so that you could still drive through Halloween St. Haylie Jade, Marcy and Chassidy were all best friends. They were all on the cheerleading squad, all 3 captains, and were very popular. Chassid was Mexican American. She had brown hair, Brown eyes. Her friends called her Chas. She wasn't hardly afraid of anything. Marcy had brown hair and green eyes and was always being frightened. But Haylie Jade was the prettiest of them all. She had long, thick blonde hair, blue eyes, and was tan. She loved to play tricks on her friends and was never scared.
“Come on Chas!” said Marcy. “We need to talk about tonight.”All 3 girls were sitting at the lunch table drinking slim fast. They were talking about there Halloween costumes and what there big dare was to be this year. Every year the girls go to a scary place on Halloween St. and stay the night.
“I think we should stay in Old Man Tuckers haunted woods!”exclaimed Marcy.
“No! We need something exciting.”stated Haylie.
“How about the nail salon or mall? I need a manicure bad!” Chassidy said jokingly looking at her beautiful nails.
“Think serious Chas!”
“I've got it! There is this old tunnel at the end of Halloween St. called Venson's Tunnel!!” exclaimed Haylie.
“What's so great about a dumb tunnel?”
“Well it has a legend. When the tunnel was being built, a man named Venson Colbarger. See, he was up on top of a ladder finishing the last of the cement , and a black cat walked underneath the ladder. He fell right in the side of the tunnel in the wet cement and the wall swallowed him right up. There is an outline of his body and it always stays wet.”
“Good idea. I'll tell my mother I'm going to Haylies. Marcy, you tell your parents your at my house. And I'll say I'm at Marcy's. Make sure that you bring nail files, flashlights, knives, lots of junk food, sleeping bags, and c.d.'s.
As school ended the girls did their secret handshake and headed home.
Haylies mind raced as she walked home. How fun it would be just to see the looks on her friends faces.
“That dumb ol' legend isn't true!” she thought to herself. “It's just an old bed time story grandpa Ural used to tell me. And that was even when he had alzheiners.”
“Hi Haylie!!”
“Hi Mom!” She ran up the stairs to her room and to put on her leopard costume.
“Bye Mom! I'm going trick-or-treating tonight with Marcy and Chas. I'm straying at Marcy's tonight. Love you!” She walked down the street and grabbed her bag she had hid in the bushes so that her mother could not tell where she really was going tonight. She met up with the other girls and they were off to get some candy.
It was around 9:30, so they decided to go to their destiny for the night. There it was-Halloween St. It was a dirt road that looked like it had come a long way. There were lots of trees and it was very dark. As the 3 girls walked upon the tunnel, the air got colder, the trees got thicker, and the wolves and owls began to hoot and howl. The moving leaves on the trees began to sound and blend with the wolves. Then, there it was- Venson's Tunnel, all boarded with vines crawling up the side.
“Maybe we shouldn't go inside here. What do ya say?!?!?!”
“No! We are staying here. We came this far and there is no turning back now!” exclaimed Haylie. The other girls listened to her and kept on.
At the right hand bottom corner where they were able to get inside. Chassid was the first to go in, next Marcy, and then Haylie.
“This place is creep!” there were rat and snake holes and lots of cob webs. It was very damp and cold. You could hear mice squeaking and water drops hitting the concrete floor.
“Lets set up our sleeping quarters.” Said Haylie as the girls looked around. The 3 girls set up their tents. Chassid had a tent big enough for a dinosaur, so the girls put their tents together to make one big tent. They set down and began primping. Marcy was putting on a facial mask when she started hearing soft whispers.
“Help me Marcy! I'm trapped, Please help.” Marcy trembled with fear. She walked out of the tent leaving the other girls inside wondering what she was doing. She saw a little girl playing with a doll. The girl got up and disappeared.
“I miss my children. Help!” The soft whispers kept going on and on. She was confused so she went back inside and asked Chas and Haylie if they had heard what she did. They thought that she was going crazy because they had not heard a thing. They gave her some medicine to help her get to sleep. She fell asleep leaving the other two girls wide awake.
“this is crazy Haylie! Lets just leave.”
“NO! I'm not getting grounded before mine and Jim's date. We can take turns watching her. Nothing is going to happen. That legend is not even true. Its a story grandpa Ural used to tell me when i was 5!”
“Okay! Well I will stay up first.”
1. Haylie went to sleep while Chassid stayed up looking over Marcy. At about 2:00 a.m., Marcy woke up because she heard the whispers again. Her eyes were as big as golf balls. She walked out of the tent while Chas followed. Marcy was running slowly, gracefully saying I'm coming to take your place. They walked towards the end of tunnel until they came upon Venson! There it was. An outline of a mans body smack dab in the middle of the cement. It was wet! The legend was true! Marcy walked towards it. She reached her hand out and touched the wet outline.
“Marcy, NnNnNno0o0o0o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Chassid ran towards her and grabbed her shoulder. Marcy turned around and hit her in the face. She fell back watching to see what she was to do next. Marcy had red glowing eyes. She walked into the side of the tunnel and was swallowed up! Venson's outline began changing into a girl figure. She had taken his place.
Chassidy and Haylie ran to the police to tell them what had happened. They were tried on stand but were found not guilty. They lived the rest of their lives in fear of Venson's Tunnel.

It was Friday evening and pretty soon Kayla Reedy, Jerelyn Hall, and Alysha Lyons were going to come over to go trick- or – treating around our neighborhood. Then we were going to campout in tents in the woods behind my house.The doorbell rang and they were here. Alysha dressed as a clown , Kayla dressed as a cheerleader , and Jerelyn dressed as a pumpkin. I was dressed as a black cat and we were ready to go get some candy.
We went out the door and across the road to my neighbors house. It was a spooky , gray, two story house with blue chipped painted shutters, but he was a nice guy. We got three candy bars each from him. After we went to everybody's hous, our feet were hurting and our bags were getting very heavy. We took the long walk down my street, Halloween Street . It was starting to get dark. We finally reached my house. We put up our candy, took off our costumes, then we went to put up the tent before it got completely dark .
Then when we went back into my house my mom said, “Be careful outside it is suppose to get cold so take plenty of cover.”
I said, “Okay,we will.”
“ Why did your mom tell us to be careful?”asked Jerelyn.
“ I don't know, but I guess we'll find out,” I said
We finished putting our things in the tent, then we looked at all of our candy.When it got dark we took our flashlights and told scary stories. Alysha's story freaked me out the most! She was good at that. She told of two girls taking a hike in the woods after dark on Halloween night and they were never seen again.So, of course, we decided to take a hike in the woods. We put on our sweatshirts and all grab a flashlight to take with us.
“ I don't think we should be doing this,” said Jerelyn.
“Oh, don't be scared its just the woods we've been in them a million times,”said Kayla.
“Yeah, but not after dark,”said Jerelyn.
“ Everything you see in the day is still there at night you just can't see it,” said Alysha.
We decided to take a new way in the woods. We started up the hill, at the top we reached a log cabin. The cabin had cobwebs all over it and looked like nobody had been in it for years. We started to go back .
“Wait you guys! I've never seen this before,” I shouted..
I went and knocked on the door, but nobody answered.
“Lets go in,” I said.
“What if somebody lives in there?” said Jerelyn.
“You're being silly ,” said Kayla.
“Yeah, if somebody lived there you would think they would clean it up,” said Alysha.
So, we went in. At first we were all a little creeped out. Then Kayla turned on a light and we all calmed down a little bit, except Jerelyn. All we saw was old, worn out furniture, dirty walls, a living room a kitchen and two bedrooms.
“See guys! I told you nobody would be in here,”said Kayla.
“ You guys come here,”I said.
In one of the bedrooms there was a picture setting on the vanity. The picture had two people in it, I had no idea who they were. Then we heard a creepy noise coming from the living room and we all got freaked out. We ran out the door as fast as we could and down the hill to the tent.We all jumped in and covered up our heads as fast as we could and didn't uncover them for the rest of the night.
The next morning, we woke up at about seven o'clock and I went to ask my mom about the the cabin the picture and the noises. She said the cabin was were she grew up, The picture was her and her mom on the beach, And the noises were her mom walking through the house to look at the picture every once and a while.
“ Why were you guys up there anyway?”ask my mom.
We all looked at each other and laughed.
So now me and my friend believe in ghost and go visit my grandma every once and a while. On Halloween Street you never know what will happen next.

A Night on Halloween Street

It's Halloween, Dorian and his friends Eli, Deacon, and Timmy, and Eli's sister Stephanie were at a Halloween party. They were sitting with friends, and they started talking about hypnotism. Dorian said he didn't believe he could be hypnotized like that. So Stephanie asked him if she could try to hypnotize him.
He said “yes”. Imagine yourself in a movie theater, you're all alone, you cant see the big screen so you move closer and closer until you see the words Sleep. It sounds normal right?
Wrong, Dorian opened his eyes and said “No, wait there's someone else there.” Stephanie said “you're all alone Dorian, close your eyes.” He shut his eyes again, and this time he saw the girls face, she was horrifying her eyes looked like she was half zombie, she was missing teeth, and her fingers and finger nails were broken, little did Dorian know but he would soon find out that this girl was just a ghost. Dorian couldn't breathe anymore, he opened his eyes and ran out of the room.
When he was walking home that night, he couldn't get that girls picture out of his head. Eli and Deacon walked him home, the next couple of days he started getting weird.
The Next day at work, Dorian was tired so he closed his eyes, and there he was in the movie theater again, the girl was still there. He looked up at the screen and it said THERE'S A CLUE IN THE BASEMENT! Dorian didn't know what that meant though. He heard a knock on his office door, it was Timmy.
“what are you thinking about Dorian?” “Nothing” said Dorian. Then he told Timmy about the dream. Timmy said “Go dig in the basement until you find something.”
Dorian went home that night, he went down in to the basement and started digging in the basement. Three hours later he saw something. He pulled bricks out of the wall, he saw a red coat, and the girl!Her glasses were broken, her teeth were missing, and she had ghost like hands.
Something told him to touch the hand. When he did he got a vision of the girl walking down the street. A boy was on the porch, he hollered at the girl “hey it's freezing out here, why don't you come inside?” She said ok. She went in the house , the guy acted real seductive, he tried to kiss her, she started screaming, she wouldn't stop.
He turned the radio up as loud as it would go, but you could still hear her. There was a large piece of plastic hanging from the ceiling, he told her to shut up. He threw her on the floor and put the plastic over her face, and she suffocated. She was murdered, maybe that's why he saw the girl.
A month later, he went to a real shrink and got councilling.The shrink told him that this girl somehow knew him, and she wanted him to know what had happened to her.
When he closed his eyes again, but he saw her happy, and skipping on the road. She was smiling like he had set her free.
Dorian will never forget that Halloween, that was the scariest thing he has ever expierenced.

A Night on Halloween Street
By: James McGuire

One Halloween night I went to bed. The next morning I woke up in a really strange place. It had ghost , witches ,goblins , and all kind of other monsters. So I decided to explore this strange place .I met a goblin named Bory Wempter. Bory was big and man did he love to eat. He had a big old boil on his long pointy nose, and he smelled like rotten garbage. He showed me around. It turns out they were having problems with monsters ending up missing. He said they had a lot of humans tuning up ion the monster side. I thought that was very weird. He was a rather rude monster even though he had been nice enough to show me around.
It was not a surprise to me that this place was called Halloween street. It didn't really seem much like a street more like a town or a city. It was a really run down area with roaches and rats running all over the place. It smelled of death. There was an evil sorcerer who's name was Mennan Ravens. He had fangs that were green. He had a big pointy nose with a big hairy mole on it. His breath like ten year old socks. It seems there always is one bad apple in the bunch. This one is rotten to the core. So I gathered as many monsters as i could to help fight the evil sorcerer because more and more monsters came up missing. So we attacked. It was down to me and Meenan. I saw Bory out of the corner of my eye he broke the wand and then he killed him we lived happy, for now...............

A Night on Halloween Street
BY:CHARITY MOORE

It was October 30 we had just moved on Halloween Street. We were getting ready for tommorrow night because it was going to be our first Halloween on this street.
My friends, Kayla, Alysha,Jerelyn, and Christan all were going to come over tommorrow night to walk around with me tommorrow. I couldn't wait because I would get to walk with my friends.
I was up all night. It was very hard for me to fal asleep, until finally I fell asleep. In my dream I dreamed that everybody told us not to go in the forest. Well that made us even more suspicious but we went anyways. I got a little scared so I woke up. I called up all my friends and told them about my dream that I had that night, and I asked them if they wanted to go to the forest and they sure why not so we made plans to go to the forest.
It was finally time to leave. We had agreed to meet by the pumpkin in the center of Halloween Street. I ran out the door eager to meet up with my friends. i couldn't wait to start out on our nights journey through the dark forest. After meeting up at the pumpkin we headed towards the woods. Talking about boys and who we liked or disliked and life in general.
We headed toward the forest as we entered we left a trail of bird seeds sothatwe could find our way back home, but dummy us the birds ate our trail.
''So now will have to find out our way back by ourselfs'' I said.
All of a sudden it became very dark and stormy. We all started to get a little scared even me but I didn't tell them. They wanted me to lead them so I did. I looked back to see if had everybody, but we didn't Jerelyn was missing. I was asking if anybody knew were she was but nobody knew. We all figured that she was.....
HELP ME!!
HELP ME!!
Okay, that really scared us even me more than before we went looking for her but we hadn't found her yet.
''Charity!''
''Charity we can't find Alysha!''Kayla screamed.
''Ha! Ha! Very funny KAYLA,'' I exclaimed.
'' I'm not joking,'' Kayla said.
'' Your not joking are you.'' I said
'' No I'm not,'' said Kayla.
''OH, no we have lost both of our....''
HELP US!!
HELP US!!
I take it that it was both Alysha and Jerelyn. All a sudden I heard a loud crunch! Crunch! Iheard it again. Somebodywas following us and I didn't know what.
''Well I'm not waiting to find out,'' said Christan.
'' Me ether,''said both me and Kayla.
We looked and looked for hours and hours, until finally we found both of them, but we didn't find...
''Oh my what is that!'' I said.
''I..I..think it is some sort of creature!'' said Christan.
Just then the creature took off his mask and it was a handsom young man. He said he lives in Halloween Street.
''Boy he's really cute,'' I said.
''I know,'' said all of my friends.
What no one knew was that it really wasn't even a boy. It was a creature that they have never seen before.
After that we all went to my house. We were very tired so we went to go brush our teeth, But when we looked in the mirror someone had writtenin red lipstick'' I will be back next Halloween.''
''Haaaa!'' we all screamed.
We all made a pack to never tell anyone about this night not even our parents.

My name is Katie; I live at 164 Halloween Street. My friends, Ally, Michelle and Sara, came over one night. It was actually Halloween night. We were going trick-or-treating. Seems pretty harmless, but on Halloween Street a trip to the paper box can be a little scary. The street has this certain aura. In the day it is a normal street. At night I hear people walking, I see shadows, but no light. At first I thought it was my imagination. However, other people wouldn’t see them if it was all in my mind. I’m really scared of this place. Then one day I had an encounter with the scary part of Halloween Street.
It all started when I was getting ready to go trick-or-treating. My luck went downhill from minute one. Sara, Ally and Michelle were late coming to my house. I was rushed getting into my costume. We finally got to the place where we were supposed to start our hayride. Everyone on our street was there. My luck suddenly changed! We went around to every house. Each of us had two bags of candy! I think you can pretty much guess how we felt. It was like being a kid in a toy store. But alas, the curse of Halloween Street struck. It had started to rain. Ally, Michelle, Sara and I were going to have a cook out. We were forced inside.
After hotdogs, and several mugs of hot chocolate, we went to watch a Halloween feature on TV. It was only 9:00pm! The movie really freaked us out. It was about four girls who were out in the woods. They saw this little puppy in the woods. As they were walking, they heard the puppy running after them. They stopped. From the right they saw a pair of red eyes. These eyes were so red they could almost set something on fire. Colored eyes just scare me!
After the movie went off we got some popcorn and went to our tent. The tent was about 10 yards inside the woods near my house. We wanted to be near the dog cage, just in case something came along. Inside, we did normal girl sleepover things. “Let’s do hair and makeup!” suggested Sara.
“Sara wants to be a beautician”, said Michelle. Sara and Michelle are sisters. They act like best friends. Sara did everyone’s hair. We all were ready to turn in, when we heard my dogs barking. You’ll never guess what we heard next.
As a puppy cried I said, “Looks like Halloween Street is coming for us. Do we dare go outside? Is it safe?”
Ally who is very brave said, “Let’s go outside!” As we stepped outside, we saw a small black and white puppy.
“Whatever we do, don’t run. I think that’s what makes the puppy turn evil!” I cried. As it happens in the movies, I was talking to thin air because all my friends were already running. I looked back at the puppy. Slowly his eyes were turning red. What, you actually think I’m just going to stand there? I ran away too! Soon I caught up with the girls. I could only see two people. “Where is Ally?” I asked. “I don’t know, she was right behind us a minute ago.” Sara replied.
“Oh my gosh! She must have been taken by that evil dog thing!” Michelle screamed. Sometimes Michelle can get a little hysterical! Suddenly, we heard footsteps behind us. It was Ally. “Where have you been?” asked Michelle. I noticed that Ally was just standing there. She seemed really scared. Soon she was back to normal. We heard a laugh from somewhere to the left. Wait a minute! Puppies can’t laugh. There must be someone using the puppy as a decoy.
I was very determined to solve this mystery. I told the other girls to go on up to the house without me. I hid behind a tree when I saw a man coming out of the brush. He had a small black and white puppy in his arms. As I looked closer I saw he had a load of matted hair. Then I realized it was almost 11:00 o’clock. If this is just like the movie… my dad should come down to help me. Sure enough, I saw a light and my dad was running toward me.
The man, who was standing in front of me hadn’t seen my dad. I looked at my dad but he wasn’t there anymore! I saw feet fly past. The man with matted hair was no longer standing. My dad had jumped on him. The man was much smaller than my dad. We were able to drag him up to the house. My mom called the police. They arrived in about 20 minutes. The police explained that there was a special kind of rock that had pyrite in it. This man had been moving around to each house trying to find the rock. He was using the puppy to distract people while he searched for the rock.
As it turns out, the street isn’t haunted. The people walking, and the strange shadows were made by the man with the matted hair. My friends got to stay an extra night! Everything was back to normal on Halloween Street.

A Night on Halloween Street

The cold air was splashing up against my face as if were water. Coming home from a Halloween party that had just ended about ten minutes ago. I has heading for my apartment building.My car had broke down right as soon as Iwas leaving and for some strange reason the phones weren't working.
So, unfortunately I had to walk home at dark, all alone, on Halloween Steet! There had always been rumors about Halloween Steet. Ya know the usual, people disappearing, vanishing, never to be seen again. Well, see I just ignored the rumors until tonight. About half way there I came upon a girl who seemed to be the same age as me.
I sort of scuttled over to her and saw that her thumb was extended, and when I finally reached her I said,”Hi I'm John, are you waiting on someone?” Her face never moved an inch. When I was getting ready to say something to see if she was alright, she slowly turned and looked at me. Then she said, “would you walk me home, I'm afraid of the dark?”
1. I answered cheerfully,”Sure.”
Then she just started walking in the direction that I was going in without a single expresion on her face. So I followed her down the street even deeper into the darkness. One by one we passed house by house wondering if she would ever turn into a driveway and say thanks for walking me home, or something like that. Finally, after walking for what seemed to be forever. She stopped. Then hearing her for the second time she said, “This is were I live.”
Bending over, looking down trying to catch my breathe, I said “finally.” Standing back up staight I said, “ so this is it huh?” but when nI looked up she was gone! Thinking to myself, that's weird, she must have gone inside. Thinking I would be imposing I didn't step in to make sure. So, I went back to my apartment feeling very confused.
The one thing that freaked me out the next morning was that a young woman was killed last night on Halloween Street! She was killed by a drunk driver while waiting on a ride home.

A Night on Halloween Street!

On Halloween night I caught up with some friends of mine, they were Abby, Jordyn, and Allison. None of us wanted to go trick-or-treating, so we decided to hang out together.
My friends and I were staying at my house. We got stuck with handing out the candy. It was fun seeing all of the little kids dressed up and looking cute, but as soon as it was over we all decided to take a walk. My twin brother, Michael, came along. He had a big crush on Jordyn so I thought I’d do him a favor.
We walked and talked for a really long time. Finally Abby said “Guys does anybody know where we are?” Neither I nor anybody else really knew. We all looked around for a while trying to figure out where we were.
All of the sudden there came a deafening noise from up ahead. We all gave each other puzzled looks. We didn’t know what we were hearing. We all decided to check it out.
As we walked toward the noise, we noticed that the road went left, and that was where the noise was coming from. Jordyn said, after a moment of silence, “Hey look you guys, the street sign, somebody must be having a party, and they put up that cool sign!”
We all looked up looked up, and there was this creepy looking sign that said Halloween Street. We all figured we’d check it out. Just in case it was a party, we wanted to join in on the fun!
We walked for a long while talking about how much fun a party would be! It was extremely dark, and for some odd reason there were no lights on this street, no houses, but the weirdest thing was there were absolutely no people.
I started to get really worried and I had this feeling inside that told me that we shouldn’t be here. As I was thinking this I fell to the ground, and something was put over my head. I didn’t have time to fight back, and I’m pretty sure I blacked out.
When I awoke I was still a little out of it, and my head hurt badly. I tried to look around, but everything was spinning.
All of a sudden I hear a voice behind me “Do not be afraid, for I do not want to harm you. I am Frotto, and this is my son Legalaus, we are wizards, and we’ve brought you here to help us.” This man was very tall and had white curly hair. He was also very slender. His son looked young, about my age, and the only thing that I could think of to describe him was he really looked a lot like Freddie Prince Jr. He actually was very good looking.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand, where am I, and where are my friends?” I had forgotten about my buddies for a minute. I didn’t realize that I had woken up alone.
“Your friends are well, and know what is happening, they are with my wife, and will join you soon enough.” Now it is time to tell you why you are here. Our town is in much trouble, and we needed a mortal bright enough to figure out what is going on, and you plus your friend Jordyn seem to be very intelligent.”
“Why am I alone if you want Jordyn’s help too”? I knew I was alone, because Jordyn really stands out, and it was a small room, and there wasn’t much in it, so I didn’t think she could be hidden anywhere.
“We have already talked with Jordyn, and she has agreed to help us. Strange things have been happening around here lately, creatures have been disappearing, and we cannot seem to figure out where they go. One witch did escape whatever IT is that’s doing this, and she said that she only saw a hooded creature that seemed to float, and not walk.”
“When did all of this start? And how can I help solve this?”
“You, and your friend seem to be brave and adventurous, and we need someone to follow this hooded creature, when he takes these other innocent creatures by night. No one of Halloween St. will do it.”
“I will go only if I can take all of my friends and not just Jordyn.”
“I will let you go with Jordyn only, because it would be very dangerous if you traveled in a large group. You would easily be spotted, and you would be lost to the evil creature, just as many of my people have been.”
I agreed to go with just Jordyn as long as I got to say goodbye to my friends first. I settled down as soon as I saw that my friends and brother were OK. The old lady that was taking care of them seemed to be very nice. We all talked for a few minutes, then Frotto said it was time to go. Jordyn and I packed up, and went out into the dark street.
It was a very cold night. I couldn’t see my hand, even if I put it up in front of my face. It was so silent that you could hear the sounds of your own breathing. Jordyn and I talked about what we would do if we did find the creature. We came up with a plan, but all of the sudden we heard something in the bushes up ahead. We both stood motionless for a while thinking if we should really do this or not. We both agreed that we would keep our word to Frotto, and all of Halloween St.
We started toward the bushes. We got closer, and closer. It seemed as though my heart was jumping right out of my chest, I was so scared. I thought about what Frotto had said, brave HA, me no way w. I can’t do this, I’m only 15, and I certainly want to live to be 16. Something kept edging me on though. It was like I had so much curiosity that it was a force keeping my feet moving.
“The thing in the bushes must have heard us.” Said Jordyn.
“How do you know that?”
“That’s how”, and she pointed to a large hooded creature floating toward us, yes I said floating, not walking, but floating. I couldn’t move. It was like there was super glue under my feet. As the creature got closer, so did a fowl stench of rotting, and decaying flesh. There was blood dripping from the corner of the creature’s mouth.
“I think I know what’s been happening to the other creatures Jordyn.”
“Are you just now figuring that out? Try to think how we’re going to get out of this mess!”
We both knew we couldn’t bring any of those missing creatures back, because this…thing had been murdering them. Suddenly I had a burst of energy, and so did Jordyn apparently, because we both started running toward the creature at the same time. When we lunged at it we all fell to the ground. We knocked the creature out, but to our surprise it wasn’t a creature at all it was my big brother Kyle!
He had been killing them just for the fun of it. And I couldn’t believe that my big brother would do something like that. I knew what I had to do though, so Jordyn and I dragged him all the way back to Frotto’s house, and Frotto was very grateful. He had a feast just for us.
Nobody said much on the way home, because we were debating over who was going to tell my parents. I lost the game of paper, rock, scissors, so when we got home I sat my parents down on the couch, and told them, but all they did was send everybody home and tell me to go to bed, because I was hallucinating. I did what they told me to do.
The next morning I got up around noon, and found everybody eating lunch at the table. I looked at the end of the table where Kyle normally sits, and sure enough there he was just as happy as he could be. I gave him a puzzled look, and he winked at me. All I could think about that day was if that night was just a dream or if it was real.

A Night on Halloween Street

It was a beautiful day in the murtal world. All the kids were riding their bikes, walking their dogs, and not knowing what was on the other side of their little world. There was a little town called Halloween town. Halloween town was town a town when everyday was Halloween. There were werewolves, witches, ghost, and all kinds of Halloween creatures. Anyway getting back to the story... The three Crumwell kids Marvle, Delen, and Susie were waiting for their grandma to get there before they went to bed. When she got there, they greated her with hugs and kisses. Before they went to bed she read them a story about a little town called Halloween town. Later that evening Marvle couldn't get to sleep, so she decided to go downstairs to get a glass of water. When she got downstairs she over heard her mom and grandma arguing about her training, which sounded really weird because she coudn't understand what tehy were talking about. Then she saw her grandma turn their left over chicken into a real chicken. Then she ran upstairs and change, so she could sneak and go with her grandma. While her grandma was waiting at the bus stop she decided to hide in the bushes, so her grandma wouldn't see her, suddenly she was scared by her brother, Delen! When they got on the bus it was really weird because there were no murtals there were only Halloween creatures. Finally they were at Halloween town. It was so beautiful there were witches, ghost, werewolves, and all kinds of other Halloween creatures. When they got off the bus they found their little sister Susie. They had to hurry and get to their grandmas' house before she did a little bit of her shopping. As they were running through the street they ran into the mayor. They told him they were on their way to their grandmas' house, but they didn't know where she lived. He called them a cab. When the cab arrived the cab driver was a skeleton whose name was Benny. When they arrived at their grandmas' house they were greated at the door by their mom who had arrived a few minutes earlier then they did. When they asked her if they could stay and help grandma fight the person who was trying to force everyone to go back to the ''Dark Times''. The ''Dark Times'' was a time when both murtals and Halloween creatures lived together, but they always fought against each other. Then the murtals ban them from the murtal world and forced them to create a town of their own. So she said yes. While they were on they way to Town Square they passed Benny who was acting really strange like he was a different person or something else. Finally they were at Town Square. When they arrived at Town Sqare everyone who lived in Halloween town was there. On top of City Hall was the person who was trying to force everyone to go back to the ''Drak Times''. When he took off his mask they found out whowas behind it all. It was the mayor Kalabar. As they were fighting him he through ice balls that would frezze someone if one touched them. Finally they defeated him on the main street in Halloween town. They called this street Halloween Street.

My friends, Steven, Jackie and I went to a Halloween party and on the way home we got lost. It was so dark we missed our street and went down Halloween Street. It was called Halloween Street because the houses were old, spooky and no one lived in them. The windows were broken and there were holes in the roofs. There were bats, rats, and cats in the houses. We decided to turn around and leave when we heard a spooky noise. We ran into the nearest house. We looked around and saw cobwebs, broken stairs, and some of the floorboards were missing. When we started to look around, Steven fell through the floor. Jackie and I ran over and looked into the hole. Steven said that he was okay but he wanted to get out. We found the stairs and went down into the basement and opened the door to the room where Steven had fallen. When we went inside we saw lots of old treasures. There was a door that had chains and locks on it. We found a crow bar and opened the door. There was a mummy case inside. We opened it up and there was a mummy there. He opened his eyes and put out put out his arms and started toward us. We ran out of the room, up the stairs, and out the door. But the mummy followed. Just then a police car came down the street. We yelled for them to stop. They saw the mummy chasing us. They tried to shoot the mummy but it did not stop. So we got into the police car and tried to get away. The policeman ran into the mummy and knocked him out. We got out of the car and we all carried the mummy back into the house and put him into his case. We locked and chained the door. After that the policemen took us home. That was one Halloween we will never forget!

A Night on Halloween Street

It all started on October 31, 2002. It was
a very dark night. It was cold and the fog slowly lifted showing the fullmoon. It was on an old twisty and turny dirt road. Jared and I were at my mamaw and papaw's house.
We were getting ready for haunted hay ride at their Halloween party. I was going to be Jason and Jared was going to be Scream. Jared and I were riding my four wheeler to our hiding spots in the woods when suddenly we heard a deep growl. We stood as still as we could, but then I was stupid enough to turn around to see what was behind us. It was Cujo the rabid dog!
Since we took the four wheeler, Jared and I sped off to the farm house. I looked behind me to see if he was chasing us, but he was'nt.I could still see the look of horror on Jared's face. I turned back around and suddenly Cujo jumped out in front of us and tried to attack us. I could see the blood from Cujo's mouth from where he had rabies. I looked right into his big brown eyes, and could see he meant to kill. That made me go even faster than I was going. When I got to the flat field I shifted to 5th gear. When we got to the farn house I looked back for Cujo. He wasn't there neither was Jarod. I saw a lot of blood on the back of my four wheeler. I looked back on my tire and I saw Cujo chewing on Jarod's head. That made me very mad! I ran into the house and up the stairs to get my gun. When I got back down stairs I saw Cujo had my sister. I backed up into the corner. That really was it. No person or animal messes with my sister. So I shot Cujo in the head. I went to go get Anna. She was crying because she was so scared. I saw how Cujo got in. He had broken through the window. I picked up his big body and burried him. He is resting in piece. This is what happened on a Night On Halloween Street.

A Night on Halloween Street

It was a cold dark eery October 31st. My friend Joe Bob and I were going to go trick or treating on Halloween Street. The street is famous for handing out the best candy. We arrived at the street around 7:00.
Joe Bob had double dared me to go in the spooky old house. At first I said no but I thought to myself, what could go wrong? It was just a really old house, or so I thought. I slowly cracked open the front door. There was furniture all covered in sheets.
I went inside and thought I saw a shadowy figure,but then I thought maybe I was just hallucinating or something. It was so hot! I felt like thehouse was on fire but there was no smoke. Legend has it there used to be an old funeral home in the basement. Some people say that is where the crazy old man that lived there put all his murder victims. He had been a serial killer but was arrested, then he escaped from prison.
At that time my friend, Joe Bob, came in to check on me. He loved scary stuff or so he thought he did. We went downstairs only to find the rumor was true! There were dead skeletons everywhere.
Joe Bob said that one moved but I told him that he was nuts. They were dead, they couldn't move. We split up to explore the spooky old house. It was weak and old. The boards creaked every where. After we had been exploring a while I got worried, I hadn't seen Joe Bob for almost two hours. Then I heard a spine tingling scream from the basement.
I ran downstairs only to find Joe Bob was a victim of the serial killer. After his dead body was removed, I was Mad! I burned down the old house so there would be no more killings ever again. Joe Bob was really funny, a big joker but just too careless.

We jumped the curve and went flying through the trees.We finally hit the ground.As we proceeded out of the severly damaged truck, we noticed a sign that said Halloween Street. We didn't think much of it at the time, but that was about to change.
The street looked deserted. I was terrified. It was so dark and spooky. We heard a lady scream. She ran out of one of the deserted houses. We noticed she had tarantulas all over her. She ran out into the woods. Then we turned around, A mummy assisted by some ghost, was coming straight towards us.
We ran into a old dark houses. As the ghost and mummy ran by the houses, we thought we were safe. I heard a growl. It was a mad dog zeroing in on us.
Dad and I ran out of the houses, with the dog write behind us. We ran so fast and so far. But no matter what we did, it just kept gaining on us.
We eventully found our house. As I reached the door , I saw my dad get in safely. But as I steped in the house, the dog sank it's teeth in my neck. Then I woke up, and realized it was just a dream.

A Night on Halloween Street
By Keenan Havens

Matilda was the ugliest girl in the school. Everyone used to suggest that she wear a paper bag to school to hide her gruesome features. Matilda had bulging eyes like that of a toad. She also had a wart above her left eyebrow that was a home to several black hairs. The hair looked more like the bristles you would find in a broom. Her hair was usually matted and dirty and a few people swore that lice was even afraid to live there. Matilda lived on Halloween Street which was the perfect place if you think about it. She was definitely the scariest student I had ever seen.
Matilda tried to be friends with everyone, but no one would be caught dead talking to her. If you talked to Matilda, you became an outcast. The way to prove you were cool was to find the cruelest insult to say to her. This seemed to be everyone's favorite pastime, everyone's except Matilda's.
One day Matilda was sitting in the cafeteria staring out the window when Corey Zempter walked in with his tray. It was the first time she ever noticed him. Corey was always taught to be friendly, so he smiled at Matilda when she worked up the courage to speak to him. Finally Matilda felt as if she may have a chance for a friend.
Soon Halloween was coming and everyone was talking about the school dance. Matilda washed her hair, plucked the hairs from her wart, and found the perfect costume. She hoped Corey would be there.
The night of the dance finally came. Matilda hoped Corey would ask her to dance. She began to tremble when he came across the room with some of his friends. She was really hurt when Corey said he brought the perfect costume for her, and handed her a paper bag. Corey's friends laughed, but Matilda left the gym crying. She really thought he was different.
That night there were rumors that Matilda couldn't deal with her ugliness. She tied a plastic bag over her head and ended her misery. Life at Matilda's school went on.
Years had passed and another Halloween was coming. Keenan Havens, the star fullback, dared Corey to go inside Matida's house to steal her diary. The house had sat empty since her death.
Corey could not resist the dare and went in. There were cobwebs hanging in every doorway and window. The pictures on the wall were faded and torn like some beast attacked the inside of the house. Corey tried not to show he was scared and kept looking for Matilda's room. He found her room and went inside. There was her dresser with the diary still laying open on the same date of her suicide. Corey couldn't believe the words she had written in big black letters. “I will get you Corey. You will pay.” He decided to leave the diary there. He didn't want everyone to know that he caused her to kill herself. He walked toward the door and it slammed in his face. It slammed so hard it pushed him back. He could hear someone trying to breathe. It was like he could hear Matilda when she was taking her last breath of life. He rushed for the door again when suddenly the ceiling began to fall. It rained down pieces of plaster and covered Corey in white dust. He finally pushed the door open and ran down the stairs. He reached for the front door and stepped out to safety. Or he thought.
Keenan and his friends were scared by Corey's white image. The white dust made him look like a zombie. Keenan took his baseball bat from the trunk of his car and beat Corey to death. Corey screamed, but everyone was afraid Matilda had changed him. Corey died that day.
I guess Matilda was right, she did get even. Now she has Corey trapped in her spirit world on Halloween Street.

A Night On Hallween Street
By Christan Riley

It was an early morning,a chill was in the air,and the fog was as white as snow.And so thick you couldn't even see in front of your face.Kayla ,James,Alicia,Derek,and I were all walking down Halloween Street.Our car had broken down about a half mile form where we were.S strange looking fellow with a raggedy,stringy,gray beard had directedus this way for help.
As we walked, each of us noticed odd things about our surroundings.Kayla noticedthat for there to be so many houses and buildings that on the street that the place was quite desolate.
“AHH!” the three of us girls screamed,as a family of rats crossed the street.
“This place smells funny.” James said as he gagged over the smell.Lucky for Derek, his nose was clogged from his allergies.We walked on freaked out from the smellof rotten eggs and moldy trash.Suddenly we all heard an awful screech.We quickly came to a hault.
“EEG!”the sound rang.James and Derek went to see what it was,as we girls were tiptoeing about a foot behind.Our were pounding about one thousand beats per minute,as our minds raced wondering what would happen next.Would we be eaten alive by a ghoul,find a nice gentlemen to help us,or be stuck here for the rest of our lives?
Derek and James found a large pipe lying on the ground,and picked it up in case whatever it was arround the corner tried to attack us.
“Stay here.”They directed as they crept up to the edge of the alley.So we did, we could tell that they were as scared as we were.As Derek started to creep arround the corner,he said he saw a figure,and it didn't have a shadow!However we didn't believe him.So we wanted to see it ourselves.
As Alicia,Kayla,James and I sneaked up to the edge of the building,my haert was pounding so fast,faster than a racecar.Then we saw it!A large,white,transpartent figure floating about two feet above the ground.
“AHH!” We all screamed.
We ran all the way back down Halloween Street,the ghost not far behind.We jumped back into our car and locked the doors and shut the windows!Luckily it started and we drove straight to the police station to report what we saw.
We reached the station as it was getting late.The sun was going down,and it was starting to get colduut.We tugged our coats out of the trunk of the old,broken down,rusty,dirty car,that looked like it had been washed with mud.All of us approached the door cautiously as to make sure that there weren't any ghosts.The stsion looked almost as deserted as the old town where we found Halloween Street.Except the smell,the police station had the smell of doughnuts.The town smelled of roten eggs and garbage.Also the police station was a little neater,it had many trees arround it.The spooky thing about it was across the street,there was an old,creeky fenced,foggy,tombstone filled cemetary.It was like an old movie,where all the people come back to life and haunt you.
As we knocked on the door of the station, we heard a scuffling noise in the leaves of the woods.”SCHHH!” Then the policemen came to the door.
“Howdy strangers,” he greeted us, “you from arround here?”he asked.
“No.” we replied,”we were on our way to a party when a car broke down,”
“Say no more,”the policeman said,”then you met an old man who told you to go down Halloween Street for help.”
“Yes.”we all replied
“Then you saw a ghost who chased you and suddenly your broken down car started again.”
“How did you know?”Derek asked
“Well,”he said,”it happens all the time.See an old man was killed by his son,and lived in a house on that street.He was buried at Halloween Road across the street here.That is why everyplace arround here is deserted.”
Then it was all clear!The ghost was chasing us away because of his son,who doesn't want him to cross over to the other world.But,the ghost has some schemes to get himself to the to cross to the other world.so his son, the old man, made our car break down and directed down Hallloween Street where he knew if he went back there that his father would kill him.But,if we went back there,we would distract him not meaning to.Then he would chase us back out and his son could sneak in and wreck father's project!
“We have to do something!”I exclainmed
“The only thing you can do is get old man crumples' son to that cemetary over there and bury him beside his father.”said the policeman, “by the way,he said, “I don't believe I got your names, mine is Tom,Tom Pickens.” he stated
“Mine is Christan,this is Alicia,Kayle,Derek,and James.” I announced.
“Cool,well if you try to help Mr.Crumples by burying his son,then good luck to you.And make sure you dig his hole first,there'll be no time to once you get him there..” said Tom.
So off we went off to Halloween Street to get a shovel

A Night on Halloween Street

It was a cold dark Halloween. It was about midnight and two of my friends and I were were walking up and down Halloween street. As we were walking, I noticed one of my friends had disappeared. I looked around and didn't see her anywhere. Then I heard a noise coming from the right, I looked over and you'll never guess whet I saw. The haunted cemetery of Halloween street.
I looked at my friend Jennifer and said,
"You go and look for her."
"No," she replied,"You."
"How about we go together," I said.
She was kind of hesitant, then she finally said she'd go with me.
We started walking into the cemetary. All of a sudden I heard another noise that sounded like a scream. I looked around and all I saw was a foggy, desolate cemetery. Jennifer and I kept going even though we were so terrified of what we might find. We got almost to the end of the cemetery when I noticed a big oak tree. I noticed something carved in the tree. It read, "You better run, you're next." Then I saw some kind of red liquid dripping from above and I looked and saw it was my missing friend with a knife in her heart and hanging by her neck in the tree, dead. Jennifer and I ran as fast as we could, scared to dead. We reached the gate and it was closed. We couldn't get out! I started to turn around but something grabbed us. I was so terrified at that point that I fainted. I remember waking up and all I saw was dirt all around me. I realized I had been buried alive.
I dug my way out. When I got out I looked to the left and saw that Jennifer had been shot and hung. Then jumped up and ran as fast as I could. I ran to the gate and swung it open. I ran out and all the way home. I really miss my friends. Needless to say, I haven't been back to the cemetery.

Something Happened to Danielle Johnson. It happened on
Halloween street by the grave yard.

It was about 11:00 PM and Danielle and her sister Heather were out trick-or-
treating. They always trick-or-treated on Halloween road. They were out on the
road when Heather asked Danielle if she wanted to go walk around the grave yard
to see if anything spooky happens. So they decided to do it.

They were walking around in the old creepy grave yard. Practically all the
flowers were dead which made the grave yard appear creepier. There were sighs
everywhere that said Keep Out. Wonder why Danielle thought.

Chills went up the girls back as they kept on walking. Then out of the distance
they saw something by the dead oak tree. It looked like a person wearing black.
Heather's legs shook. Danielle could barley swallow. They coudnt even run or
move causa they were so scared.


The strange person just stood there in the dark. Heather grabbed ahold of
Danielle”s arm, but Danielle would not come. Come on! Heather screamed.

They both took off running. Then far back away Heather heard Danielle scream.
She turned around and Danielle was gone. She ran back to the grave yard, there
was no sight of Danielle. Heather ran home to her mom in tears.

Heather told her mom what happened. Her mom called the police. The police
searched the grave yard, but no sight of Danielle or a dead body. Not even one
clue.

October 31st 1999 lies a mystery in the old grave yard. People say Halloween street
is haunted by Danielle. They say heather and her mom went crazy. So now no
one enters the grave yard or Halloween street.

A Night On Halloween Street

“Micah” come here!Michael,Becky, and Sharon shouted.They were in the bathroom,I went to see what they wanted.They showed me that the shadow would appear and then disappear behind the shower curtain.I was like “Oh my Gosh”!
We went outside and was talking about what we had just seen.
We had just moved onto our new street.The neighborhood seemed empty.After awhile,we came back in and we were getting our stuff ready for dinner.All of a sudden the TV came on full blast and my Brother went and turned it off.After that we couldn't find the control.
We had just finished eating supper and my Dad went to take a shower.We heard him scream!He came running down the hallway and said” I just heard people talking in the bathroom”,Becky said “what”? In my head I was thinking maybe this apartment is haunted.
It was midnight and i had just woke up to go get me some water.I checked to make sure everybody was asleep and safe.Just when I had layed down I heard the toilet flush.I went to see who was in the bathroom and everybody was still in bed.The next morning I asked if anybody had got up and used the bathroom and they said No.
My Brother Marcus is 11 and he is still a little childish.He was in his bedroom alone,and he was talking to someone.I went in there and said “bub,who are you talking to”?
He said “Walter”. Then I told My Dad and he said “yeah right”!
That night we all went to bed and it was about midnight,and I got up to get me some water.I got back in bed and then I heard people walking upstairs,but nobody lived in the apartments upstairs.
I put my robe on and went outside to check and there was this black shadow then it disappeared.I went back inside and woke my Dad up and told him. We both went back outside to check.Nothing was out there.

We told the Manager about what was happening and he told us not to worry ,because the road that we were now living on is called Halloween Street.

A Night on Halloween Street
Heather Taylor

“Bye girls be careful!” my mom shouted as we drove away in my brand new Mustang convertible.It was my 16th birthday and I finally had my drivers liscence. I was taking Rikki, Micah, Becky, and Danielle to Columbus for a week of shopping and fun!
It took us over three hours to get there and even longer to find the house that we had rented for the week.First, we had to find Halloween Street.The address was 1313, but the numbers on the mailboxes were so faded we couldn't even see them.
“Come on Heather, stop and ask someone!”begged
Becky
“Even if I did stop, who would I ask?” I replied.
I heard a moan of disappointment come from the back seat. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that Danielle was asleep. Rikki was in the passenger seat and I could tell that she was tired. We finally found the house and I could swear thatI heard voices beforewe walked in. We threw our bags on the floor and fell asleep on the old beat-up furniture.
Something woke me up and when I looked at my watch it was only 9:30. Everyone else was still asleep so I decided to play a trick on them. I reached over for my bag. It wasn't there! In fact nobody's bags were there. I thought I should look for them so I went upstairs.

The steps creaked and moaned so loud they could wake the dead! When I stopped to look around I heard footsteps behind me. I was a little scared but I wanted to find my bag so I could give everyone shaving cream mustaches! I looked in closets, bathrooms, everywhwere! That house was huge! Finally, I gave up. I went back downstairs and I was really freaked out by what I saw. Everyone's bags were back in the same exact place we put them. I thought I was going nuts!
I went back to sleep and in the morning we looked out the windows and Micah yelled “Oh man! What's going on out there!”
It was really weird! There was this big black shadow going up and down the street really fast. It stopped right in front of our house! It walked up the steps but we didn't stick around to see what it was! We closed the curtains and locked the door. Suddenly the TV goes up full blast and we all scream.
Then there was a noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a blender!
“What's going on here?” Rikki asked.
“I don't know!” Danielle said.
They all turned to me and I nodded my head. Then, the doorbell rang. We told Becky to answer it. Slowly che crept to the door. No one was there. There wasn't even a doorbell button! We packed up our stuff and hopped into the Mustang. It wouldn't start! We were trapped!
“Try the phone!” Micah said.
We ran in the house to the phone. No dial tone!
“ Oh no! It has to work! I just used it to call my mom last night!” I screamed frantically!
Rikki looked at the line and saw that the line had been cut. Suddeny, a door slammed from upstairs and there were loud footsteps. I ran to the door. It wouldn't open! Everyone screamed. We all started banging on the door and screaming for help. There was an evil laugh from behind us! We would be stuck on Halloween Street FOREVER!!

A Night on Halloween Street
Jessica Williamson

It was a dark and foggy night. A girl tried to start her car. All of a sudden a deep voice asked can I give you a hand? With that a severed han came flying out of the bushes with her boyfriends class ring on the finger. She tried to start the car but the engine went dead.
“Anissa its me Rob” “Where have you been?” “Ive been dead.”
Don't you remember you killed me? I have come to teach you a lesson. I am going to kill you.
You are in for a lesson you will never forget. He dragged Anissa through the woods.
He took a knife and chopped her hair. Im gonna hang you like a deer thats getting butched.
He slit her throat and stabbed her in the chest. Bye sucker. Im outta here.
She had been missing for awhile and her family got worred. They called the police. They organized a search and rescue team. They didn't find her that night or the next.They thought it would be another body recovery, not a rescue.
They went in the woods they found her. Shes dead, the scene went silent. There was a sadness in the air. The pretty Anissa Ann Nealson was gone. She was only 16 years old. Poor Anissa.
Only 16 years old and gone from this would already. It was a gruesome death for her. How are we going to tell her family. Put her in the body bag. They took her to the forensic lab.
I guess its time to tell her family. Mrs.Nealson Im sorry but we found your daughter listen. Don't get all happy. Shes dead, she was murderded her body is at the lab. You will get it back for a funeral. Where will you like us to take her?
Bring her here we will have a funeral here invite the search and rescue team. We will have it next week. I will do that. You have my deepest sorrow. May I say a few words at the funeral? Sure you can. Thank you for your efforts.
At the lab the body was examined for any evidence. They took x-rays to show the unusual fracture patterns of the bones. They cracked her chest to take pictures of the puncture wounds in her heart. Whoever the killer is they must have been pretty strong to bust rib bones. I have a feeling that killer Caudill is behind all this.
The person doing the autopsy was wrong very wrong. “ where is the medical examiner doing Annissa's autopsy? Here he is. I was Anissa”s boyfriend.”

A Night on Halloween Street

The night was dark. Samonosuke and Kaede were traveling down an old road. They went up to a door and opened it. Suddenly, a strange man popped out and said “Well,well, if it isn't Samonosuke and his friend. Have you decided to join Nobunaga and his whole army of demons? If so, you will live. If not then perish.”
“No!” said Samonosuke. “I will not betray the clan of the ogres.”
“Have it your way. Prepare to die.”
Suddenly, a bundle of demons jump out and attacked. Of course, Samonosuke defeated them with the help of Kaede.Then the dream ended.
The little kid was awake. He shouted “Oh my gosh! It's 10:00! I'm missing out on trick-or-treat night!” The kid lived on Halloween street. His name was Aketchi. He got dressed and went out. He missed all of the good houses, so he got less candy then usual. Then he saw a sign that read “All the candy you want. Since we are very wealthy, you can have cash too.” Like any normal kid, Aketchi took off not noticing the address which was 13 Halloween Street.
Aketchi had opened the door only to find the head of his good friend Stacy Bobst. He laughed in amusement. Aketchi kept looking for candy, but no luck. Then he found the corpses of Brandon and Britain. He thought it was a joke until he saw a creature chop Trent to pieces. Aketchi could hear the screams of Trent with each slice. Aketchi's heart was pounding! He wanted to scream but he was to frightened. He was also afraid the monster would hear him. Suddenly, the creature caught his scent. Aketchi took off to avoid being cut up. Then a sudden change in direction led him into the body room. There he found the bodies of Jake,Kodi,Meagan,Rachel,Kayla,Nathan,Cody,Colin,Timmy,Justin and others. At last the creature caught up with him and sliced Aketchi to pieces.
After that nobody saw Aketchi again. The children population had gone from 10,000 to 3 over th past three years. Who knows who's the next victim on Halloween Street.

A Night on Halloween Street
By: Colin Stimpert

As I walk down Halloween Street on a cold
October night I see many trick -or- treaters that look like they are totally lost without a clue. I smell fright and feel danger beneath my feet. My mind tells me to turn around but my legs keep leading me further and further down Halloween Street.
I walk up to a house that looks abandoned but I see some lights on and some shadows inside. I knock on the door and a homeless man opens the door. He slams the door in my face with attitude. I walk away with the feeling that the guy is behind me. I start running and i turn my head to see if he is really behind me. While I was looking back I run into a scary hairy werewolf. I didn't think he was real until I saw him howling at the moon. I was creeped.
All of the sudden I realize I am laying on the side walk and there are two little kids staring down at me and laughing hysterically. I smell a really sweet candy smell and that makes me jump right up. I notice that I do not remember anything. Not even how to get out of the creepy street. I think I see one of my friends Shaun Cook. He looks like he is in the same position I am.
All of the sudden I see this old raty house go up into flames. I start running and yell “hit the deck”! I hear a huge explosion really close to me and I look up at Shaun and he is tuning into a werewolf right before my eyes. He is growing hair all over his body and pointy ears like a goblin. I start feeling a little corny when he is staring a hole right through the moon. He starts howling like a freak. I start running from what I thought was my best friend.
I round a corner and all of the sudden the place looks deserted. I see I see a man walking down the street. Halloween street that is. There were about 20 black cats behind him. I came to a sudden stop. That's when I noticed that he didn't have a head. I bolted away in fear.
I feel a huge thump and I notice that I have fallen out of bed. That's when I notice the whole thing is a dream, or maybe not.

A Night on Halloween Street
Nate Munyan

The cold air was splashing up against my face as if were water. Coming home from a Halloween party that had just ended about ten minutes ago. I has heading for my apartment building.My car had broke down right as soon as Iwas leaving and for some strange reason the phones weren't working.
So, unfortunately I had to walk home at dark, all alone, on Halloween Steet! There had always been rumors about Halloween Steet. Ya know the usual, people disappearing, vanishing, never to be seen again. Well, see I just ignored the rumors until tonight. About half way there I came upon a girl who seemed to be the same age as me.
I sort of scuttled over to her and saw that her thumb was extended, and when I finally reached her I said,”Hi I'm John, are you waiting on someone?” Her face never moved an inch. When I was getting ready to say something to see if she was alright, she slowly turned and looked at me. Then she said, “would you walk me home, I'm afraid of the dark?”
1. I answered cheerfully,”Sure.”
Then she just started walking in the direction that I was going in without a single expresion on her face. So I followed her down the street even deeper into the darkness. One by one we passed house by house wondering if she would ever turn into a driveway and say thanks for walking me home, or something like that. Finally, after walking for what seemed to be forever. She stopped. Then hearing her for the second time she said, “This is were I live.”
Bending over, looking down trying to catch my breathe, I said “finally.” Standing back up staight I said, “ so this is it huh?” but when nI looked up she was gone! Thinking to myself, that's weird, she must have gone inside. Thinking I would be imposing I didn't step in to make sure. So, I went back to my apartment feeling very confused.
The one thing that freaked me out the next morning was that a young woman was killed last night on Halloween Street! She was killed by a drunk driver while waiting on a ride home.
