Costume's Through My Lifetime
Ah, Halloween, Hallows Eve, Day of Terror… whatever you want to call it, I think almost everyone in the world can say Halloween is one of the best holidays around! It comes with leaves on the ground, pumpkins, family time, and getting to stay out late! What kid, adult, dog, goldfish, wouldn’t enjoy the fun traditions that Hallows Eve has to offer?! I know for a fact my twin and I find it to be one of our top favorite holidays!

The Gloaming
The coach entered the forest road just as the sun began to slink under the horizon and day gave way to night, pulled by four black horses with wild wide eyes, and white foam at their mouths. Their top halves sweaty and their bottom halves flecked with mud, they looked like they had seen better days, yet they pressed on as if the Devil himself were chasing them. Those with full possession of the facts who would have said that this was indeed the case. Urged on by the cries of the driver, and the crack of his whip, the horses pulled the coach into the gloaming made all the more dark by the trees reaching up on either side of the road.

WEIRD DREAM
It is almost Halloween and there I am, somewhere, I can't see exactly where but first I´m all alone, seconds later I´m walking alongside one of my aunts (one of my dad´s sisters) and seconds later I´m in a room talking with my mother, don´t remember at all about what but there was my sister too and she went out, as I see through the window there she is, then I went out running for her. I saw a couple of guys approaching, minutes later I´m fighting with them in a dead end, I guess protecting my little sister. And there I am fighting them and somehow I grab one of them by the neck with just my right arm, I picked him up, he kicked me in the stomach but I took him with my other arm and through him, then I wasn´t just fighting them I was hitting them without any mercy. Then just pieces, the image is almost gone, I´m waking up alone in my bed like any other regular day. It felt so real, even knowing it was just a dream. I was like a monster or had the strength of one, I never saw a face, not even mine but it felt like it was me somewhere in a creepy place getting ready for Halloween and there were pumpkins everywhere, these guys were approaching, so I just ran to protect her because she was alone out there but I could see her through the window and somehow I was so fast and strong to do what I did to them, I think I could almost kill them but I have no idea cause then I woke up like I normally do but with a weird feeling. I thought it was so real because it felt so.

LISTEN TO THE STORIES
HALLOWEEN, A TIME OF GHOSTS, WITCHES, ZOMBIES AND GHOULS. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID WHEN I WAS YOUNG. STAY CLOSE TO HOME, DON'T GO FURTHER THAN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE TRICK OR TREATING. ITS WHEN THE VEIL IS THINNEST AND THEY WILL COME BACK TO TAKE YOUR YOUTH FROM YOU. YEAH RIGHT, I HEARD THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR, BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. OLD GHOST STORIES TOLD BY THEIR PARENTS. WELL IM 18 NOW AND I'M GOING OUT TO PARTY WITH MY FRIENDS, AND I'M SURE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THOSE OLD GHOST STORIES, IM YOUNG BEAUTIFUL AND NO ONE'S TELLING ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. WE WERE MEETING AT THE OLD BARN AT THE EDGE OF TOWN. TOMMY WAS THE CUTEST BOY IN SCHOOL AND HE ASKED ME ( YEAH ME) TO MEET HIM THERE. I WORE MY FAVORITE SHIRT AND TIGHTEST PAIR OF JEANS. NEITHER LEFT ANYTHING TO THE IMAGINATION. I WAS A VIRGIN AND I PLANNED ON GIVING TOMMY MY VIRGINITY TONIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. WHEN I GOT TO THE BARN THE PARTY WAS IN FULL SWING, CANDLES BURNING, WEIRD SYMBOLS WRITTEN ON THE BARN WALLS AND A STRANGE ODOR IN THE AIR. HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. ANYWAY EVERYONE STARED AT ME AS I ENTERED THE BARN. I STARTED TO BACK OUT WHEN TOMMY RUSHED UP TO ME AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND AND SAID THEY WERE STARING BECAUSE I LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL, THE WERE JUST JEALOUS. I REALLY DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE REASON BUT AS LONG AS TOMMY THOUGHT I WAS, WELL WHO CARED. THE MUSIC WAS BLASTING AND EVERYONE WAS GYRATING TO THE MUSIC, TOMMY LEAD ME TO THE BUFFET TABLE WERE THEY HAD A PUNCH BOWL OF RED LIQUID. HE GOT ME A GLASS AND TOOK OUT A LITTLE FLASK AND ADDED IT TOO MY CUP. HE SAID THIS IS SOME OF MY OWN SPECIAL STUFF, YOUR GOING TO LOVE IT. I ASKED WHAT IS IT. HE SAID DON'T YOU TRUST ME? YOUR GOING TO LOVE IT. WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HIS FEELINGS SO I DRANK IT DOWN. HE FIXED ME ANOTHER ONE AND WE WENT TO SIT ON THE BALES OF HAY. THE MUSIC CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER AND LOUDER AND EVERYONE SEEMED TO DANCE CLOSER AND CLOSER TO ME AND TOMMY. I TOLD HIM I WASN'T FEELING SO WELL. HE JUST SMILED AND SAID JUST LAY BACK AND CLOSE YOUR EYES. EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. I DIDN'T WANT TO CLOSE MY EYES, I WANTED TO GO HOME, BUT I COULD HARDLY MOVE, LET ALONE GET UP. EVERYTHING WENT BLACK, IT FELT LIKE I WAS FLOATING, AND THEN I WAS LAYING FLAT ON SOMETHING HARD. I COULD HEAR CHANTING AND THE MUSIC WAS LOUD AND AND I DIDNT RECOGNIZE IT AT ALL. I KEPT FADING IN AN OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS. I COULD FEEL THE VIBRATION OF THE MUSIC AND PEOPLES HANDS ON ME, A SHARP EXCRUCIATING PAIN TO MY CHEST AND THEN THERE WAS (NOTHING BUT SILENCE.) I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I LAYED THERE BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER, WHERE WAS EVERYONE, WHERE WAS TOMMY. IT WAS HARD BUT I SAT UP AND NOTICED THE LIGHT COMING THRU THE CRACKS IN THE BARN WALLS. I KNEW I BETTER GET HOME OR MOM WOULD HAVE MY HEAD, SO I STOOD UP, MAN WHAT WAS IN THAT DRINK THAT TOMMY GAVE ME, MY HEAD WAS SPINNING AND I CAN BARELY WALK. SLOWLY I SHUFFLED TOWARD THE BARN DOOR AND HEADED HOME. I HAD TO DO THE WALK OF SHAME THREW TOWN BECAUSE I LIVED ON THE OTHER SIDE. LUCKLY IT'S SUNDAY AND EVERYONE'S IN CHURCH. I WALKED BY THE WINDOW OF THE DRESS SHOP AND NOTICED THIS CRAZY LOOKING MANNEQUIN IN THE WINDOW. HER SHIRT LOOKED LIKE MINE BUT ALL TORE UP AND DIRTY, SAME WITH THE JEANS. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DRESS A MANNEQUIN LIKE THAT. I LOOKED UP AT THE MANNEQUINS FACE. OMG OMG OMG THATS MEEEEEEEEEE. OH MY LORD. HELP ME, WHAT DID THEY DO TO ME, IM SCREAMING IN MY HEAD, HELP ME LORD, BUT THE ONLY THING COMMING OUT OF MY MOUTH IS A MOAN, THEY STOLE MY YOUTH, THE STORY WAS TRUE, OHHH MAMA I SOOO WISH I LISTENED TO YOU..................................................

They Lived
At 87, Mona Cabot lived alone. She’d outlived her late-husband David and all three of their children. She had four grandchildren, and only saw one of them, the youngest, Leanne. She was bright, blue-eyed, had a heart of gold, and not a wrinkle in sight. She stopped by daily.

Jane Ghost and Wisp
My sister takes life in stride, a feat I will probably never master. She always considers herself to be in the right place, at the right time; this optimism and fearlessness in the face of what she may not understand is more than likely what lead her, in the literal and existential sense, to capture this photo on Friday, February 17th, 2017, shortly after six in the morning.

Tree Spirit
The Ho-Chunk, or Hočągara, were a Siouan-speaking Native American people who considered all trees to be shrines. Animist druids also recognized the spirit of all things. Many cultures believed that spirits and ghosts used trees as a temporary dwelling while on Earth.

Ghosts
In our world of electronics, pandemics and imbalance, there are some things that remain the same. Take this picture for instance. My granddaughter and I were walking around an old cabin on a tourist site here in Calgary when we took some pictures inside one of the cabins. We took multiple pictures inside, and this one seems to show seven or maybe eight darkened oval shapes that remind me of heads. Another picture show what looks like one person standing with one oval shaped head, but this one could be the family.

The Ghosts of Europe. First Place in Cursed Images Challenge.
During the filming of Ghosts of Europe in 2017, I had the pleasure of being the lead photographer. This meant I got to visit a variety of scary places including the site of the worst nuclear disaster in human history, the home and death place of Europe's most prolific female serial killer, and of course the resting place of black death victims in the city considered to be the Witches Capital of the world.
