I was giving the father the benefit of the doubt, even though I thought he was lying about some things, until the very end. I don't think that the boy spent even one night in that house.

I don't think that the Leviathan storyline was the reason that Dark Shadows ended. It wasn't the best storyline, but the death knell for Dark Shadows was when Jonathan Frid demanded to play a role in which he wasn't a vampire. He really made a lot of stupid moves in his career. After Dark Shadows ended, he tried to distance himself from the show, then years later, he capitalized on it and started a website where he could exchange messages with Dark Shadows fans, but I guess that by that time, Dark Shadows was all that was left of his career.

You're right, Steve, some of us prepare for the entire month of October for Halloween, and once it's come and gone, the excitement is over.

Congratulations, Jason. The poem rhymes like the song, "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze."

The article says that "legend has it" that the sheriff took women back to his home and tortured them and to me that means that you can believe it or not. I do agree though that the people in Salem probably try to link anything mysterious to the Salem Witch Trials because the city makes millions from its witch history. The woman in the picture does look like what people think of as a witch, even though I doubt that any woman wore her hair like that in 1692, but I guess that they wouldn't have had a chance to pin up their hair in jail. If it is the spirit of a witch in the photo, she sure had a lot of frizzy hair.

The last time I was in Yazoo City, the stone at the witch's grave was broken and lying on the ground. Is this an old picture, or has it been repaired?

The Saginaw River Lighthouse looks like it's in bad shape. I hope someone, or some group, steps in and saves it.

I went to Williamsburg about 8 years ago, but we were there only about two days and I didn't know where all the haunted places were. I'd like to go back now that I know more about all the interesting places to visit.

My favorite vampire movie is still "Dracula" with Frank Langella. It was made back in the 1970s, but I like it better than any of those named in the article, not that I've seen them all. I didn't see "Thirst." I didn't like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" or the "Blade" movies.

There has to be a connection between the man that came to her work that day and the man who killed her. It's even possible that she might have agreed to meet him to discuss whatever the problem was between them. If he had been a student or a man who worked at the college, I think that someone would have been able to identify him. The man at her work was obviously someone that she knew or they wouldn't have been having a heated discussion. But like Sam says, someone going all the way from Bismark to California is a little unbelievable. Even if she had known something embarrassing about someone in North Dakota, it would be her word against theirs, so I can't see them killing her, or having her killed.

No matter how disgusting or weird a man is, there will always be some idiot woman who will take up with him. Look at that Bert Dahl creep, who was trying to open the pagan church in Arkansas. He is ugly, uneducated and a womanizer who comes on to other women just after his wife brings a newborn baby home and she's still married to him. A lot of women think that they have to have a man to validate their worth.

The Masque of the Red Death wasn't the plague. It was a contagious disease that Poe invented.

There hasn't been even one story or poem posted. I hope that everyone doesn't forget about the contest and that we will have some interesting poems and stories to read this year.

I doubt that Catherine Eddows knew the identity of Jack the Ripper. Anytime there's a murder, a lot of people think that they know the identity. I've heard that when the police in Seattle were searching for the killer of all the college women back, in the '70s, who turned out to be Ted Bundy, that girlfriends were calling police and saying that it might be their boyfriends, wives were turning in husbands, people were turning in their neighbors, which is why when the woman who called herself Liz Kendall turned in Ted Bundy, the police didn't pay any attention to her and thought that she was just another overly suspicious woman.

The man suspected worked at a hospital. I've noticed that a LOT of doctors, nurses and other people in health care are involved in serious crimes like rape and murder, especially nurses.
