Halloween Haunted Walk!

The beautiful salt marsh I posted about last week was the scene of the annual Halloween Haunted Walk, and I thought I'd take you all along .... that is if you dare!

We were greeted at the gate by a ghoulish character, and were assembled into a group to begin our escorted tour.....

We see the group ahead of us walking gingerly onto the path as moans and screams can be heard coming from beyond the bushes ...... what lies ahead? We cower in terror!

Go back ...... go back.....whisper the trees! Those that enter are seen nevermore.....

.......go back, they cry, but we bravely continue on......

What's this? The grim reaper stretching this poor soul upon the rack! Go back she screams.....go back!

Too late, we can no longer turn around, for the witches have put their spell on us as they stir their dark cauldron's brew.

They offer treats of licorice but we refuse them .... there must be a reason for their offer ..... could it be an evil potion?

..........and then we see that is not only the licorice that has made the rats fat!

Ghouls and goblins follow us, and deeper into the marsh we go.....

..........where every turn makes us howl....

.... every bend in the road makes us scream.....

as frightening ghosts and goblins abound......

.......and mummies, vampires, henchmen, ghouls..... they all were there to haunt us!

This mad scientist displayed her macabre experiment gone awry.

With every twist and turn of the path there was something waiting to make us tremble.

Oh no! Someone from another group that did not make it.....
She was laid to rest as ghostly ghastly as Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee.

"This is the punishment for not doing homework!" said the man throwing the electrocution switch, as the children watching trembled.

Even wild and scary animals were jumping out of the reeds....

....and this friendly scarecrow managed to scare me the most as it jumped out and grabbed me! BOO!!!

The vampires across the road could not contain their giggles after seeing me frightened and hearing me scream.

Finally, we exit the marsh and the headless horseman asks if we would like to jump on for a ride?

But we decline, as this hot rod hearse looks like a faster way to make our escape .....

...and enable us to tell the tale of surviving the haunted walk for another year!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was boo-ed by Mrs B ..... thank you Mrs B!

And now it's my turn to do the Boo-ing! I would like anyone that has not been "boo-ed" as yet to take this picture and pass it on -- the rules are below.

The Blogging Boo works like this ... Go to as many friends as you want and tell them they've been "Boo-ed". Have them link back to your blog to pick up their Halloween Treat (the cute picture) and tell them to "Boo" their friends. Then, put the picture in your side bar so everyone knows that you've already been "Boo-ed" and to send the pic to someone else.

Ready, set, BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
