Mice scampered, bugs creeped and bats hung in the darkness. A crow kept watch over the happenings to make sure the haunting was complete.

Outside, the children, transformed by the spirit of Halloween, took on new appearances. Ella became Barbie, Victoria looked scarily like Sally from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', Shea took on the cover of a Transformer, and Egan, he turned into a skeleton.
The night started with a neighborhood carry in dinner and party, then characters small and large, sweet and scary ran house to house to collect their treats.
Back at home, masks off, the older kids counted, bargained and traded. Egan went to bed with visions of candy swirling through his head.
