Description
Halloween’s Tomorrow! I hope you all have pumpkins carved or ready for carving. After all, without a Jack O’ Lantern, what will protect you from the ghoulies and ghosties when the veil lifts?
The theme for the carving on mine is, well, predictable. After all, werewolves and Halloween do have a long history…
If you’ve done a little research on historical werewolves, odds are, you’ve read of Peter Stubbe (Stump, Stub, Stumpf, etc), the werewolf of Bedburg. Heck, his story is so famous, the band Macaabre wrote a song about him. His horrific German tale is fit enough for any modern horror film. Back in the sixteenth century, this man was brought to trial under the accusation of being a werewolf. He supposedly used an enchanted wolfskin belt to turn into a wolf, and he was caught in the act of turning back into a man. He (under torture) confessed to eating thirteen children, as well as two pregnant women, so he could eat the fetuses <:C Found guilty fof these and other crimes such as incest, he was tortured to death as a punishment. He is bones were broken, his flesh torn off with red-hot pincers, and eventually beheaded. Just to be safe, they burned his body along with his mistress and daughter, who were alive at the time. But do you know wheeeeeen he was executed? Why, the 31st of October! Halloween.
Of course, not all such lycanthropic connections to Halloween are antequated. There are a couple of more modern tales of lycanthropy that take place on Halloween. The first of which happened in Wisconsin. Doris Gibson reported a sighting of the Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-like creature, on Halloween night, 1991. In fact, not only did she see it once, but she saw it twice that very evening. The encounter left her unharmed, but her car sported claw marks afterwards.
Then, sometime between 2006 and 2007, a werewolflike creature was again spotted in Wisconsin, thistime, it was spotted near midnight just south if Milwaukee. Judith Halverson had driven into the parking lot of Rainbow Park to throw some food wrappers away, when a huge creature rushed at her on all fours, before it stood up! This golden-eyed creature didn’t look like a bear to her, but rather resembled a wolf! It stood on its toe pads like a canine, and below its pointed ears it wore a grin full of jagged teeth. Then, it simply walked into the bush, still on two legs.
Both women are sure that the creatures they encountered could not have been something as simple as a person in a costume.
Maybe if they’d had Jack O’ Lanterns with them, they’d have been safe.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room
