Ghosts,SeveredHeadsButterbeer&CRYSTALS!!!

The year was MMXV - I was the program planner at Oakhurst - A women's recovery home. A group of women were coming in. Some were coming directly from jails while others came from shelters.

"Boy did I ever have plans for them."

I loaded them in the van and we headed for the Haunted Farm. Later one woman commented that she never had so much fun "Clean and Sober!" That was the lesson that I was trying to give them.

Fast forward to MMXIX. I applied for a job at the Haunted Farm as a ticket seller. They put me in costume and I ran the Head Toss Booth instead. The owner of the farm said that I was actually one of the best operators that they had. I have been on stage before but opted not to tell him the details.

The next year MMXX- COVID-19 reared it's ugly self. Travel plans, the WV State Fair, and the Haunted Farm were cancelled. Current times, MMXXI Covid-19 is still doing the nasty but the economy is opened up. I was able to sell tickets at the State Fair and now I am haunting the Haunted Farm.

I tell . Don't worry, those spooks are more afraid of you than you are them. If they try to scare you, say "BOO!" They will run. Those will be the runs running around the cornfield trying to scare folks in a few years.

I also brought my crystal ball and started telling fortunes. I told one woman that she would be running against Senator Manchin in a bid for Governor. She would win and her husband would be the First Gentleman of West Virginia.

I told one that she would be getting a very special present for X-mas delivered by her new pet Sasquatch.

One gentleman was really excited when I told him that Chippendale's was coming to the Greenbrier. He would be the lead dancer and come home with long underwear stuffed full of 0ne Hundred d0llar bills.

I do hope my Higher Power allows me to do some haunting before I cross over. I have a list of folks I totally to haunt. I hope that I will be able to raise havoc at Area 99 aka the local Wal-Mart. Ideal would be for Grumpy to come with me and he can operate the riding cart. He will be invisible. I'll throw stuff on the shelves and maybe mess with the registers.

Methinks you are having too much fun in that haunting role! LOL

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I used to love to dress in something weird and paint my face, also weird and hand out candy.

My girls would go trick or treating with their Dad for a bit, then home for him to pass the candy and off I went with my daughters, still in costume.

Ahh for the good old days...
