Did you grow up with any family traditions?

49. my secondgrade teacher lived in a creepy old house and

her mother and sister would dress up like old witches and she had a cauldron on the porch too. You would walk into that creepy house and Mama would be sitting in the rocking chair like the mother in Psycho just rocking back and forth never saying a word, all 3 of them were dressed in black from head to toe.

As a kid I though it was pretty wild as an adult I have decided that Miss Walker and her mother and sister probably were a riot; I imagine the fun they had planning for Halloween.

we also had a lady that these killer homemade popcorn balls and her house was always where you went first because she ran out early

another lady always gave us 2 bags of candy: "this one is yours, and this one is for your daddy" When we got home my dad would ask if Miss Jessie gave 2 bags of candy... yes... this one is yours. Come to find out, the daddy candy was bourbon balls.

In our small town, the older boys would lurk in the shrubbery to scare the bejeebus out of the little kids
