I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn’t want chocolate).
Not a single child came. I didn’t see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.
The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.
Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.
How was everyone else’s Halloween?
Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED “trick or treat” sign we hung on the porch.
We often only get a couple trick-or-treaters every year, and this year was no different, except we left the front door open all night, which means we heard and saw kids walking past our house.
I’m one of the few groups that came to our porch, I heard one girl whisper to her friends, “that’s the creepy house”
So, I guess our house is the haunted house of the neighborhood. I’d be ok with that if we actually had any ghosts.
We’ve been here for over 140 years, and I’ve never seen a single ghost.
The call is coming from within the house.
Any chance you have a copy of the “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” lying around? You’ve been at that house a pretty long time.
