I thought this might be a good time to relate a true story about a happening a few years ago. I have never believed in the supernatural, ghosts, etc, considering myself as logical and a "student of science." But this incident still has me perplexed.

Who says strange things don't happen on Halloween? I was riding my racing bike my usual 25 miles down a new road that goes nowhere out in the country with almost no traffic. I ride up and back 5 times and that Halloween I passed three older folks walking, two women and a man twice. They looked pretty normal and even said "Hi." The third time I should have passed them they were not there. Very strange. There was no place for them to go. I'm not making this up so help me. I certainly was not drunk or halucinating at 0900 in the morning. The only rational explanation is they were picked up by a car but I don't remember any traffic during that time period.

I neglected to mention that this road connects to Fla State Road 70, a dangerous two lane country road, known affectionately by locals as the "highway of death" since so many fatal accidents have happened there over the years. I'll let you know if I see them again this year.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I also had an unexplained experience. Always gives me goose bumps remembering!!

A few decades ago the week of Halloween I received a comprehensive horoscope in the mail with the offer to purchase monthly up-dates. I declined the offer. The week before Christmas I received a hand written letter from the same company with an "Urgent, read immediately" on the envelop. It was a dire warning that because of some astrological configuration I was facing a " life and death" situation and the only way to survive was to keep a sense of humor, be hospitable and stay calm. I tossed it in the trash expecting additional solicitations to follow.

After bedtime on January 1st, I was awakened to a knock on my door. 3 men with hand guns claiming car trouble asked to come in and warm up by the fire. I made them coffee, laughed at their jokes, and gave them the keys to my truck when they left with a warning not to go to the police--my phone line had been cut.

The next day after calling the police from my neighbors house I found out they had broken out of prison. They had left a trail of dead and shot neighbors as they had traveled across the county. They were eventually captured. I never got my truck returned. I not longer had the address of the company that sent me the letters and I never heard from them again.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
