The Ghosts of Halloween Past

By Candice Christian

Thirty something woman, Grace Goode, reflects on her past Halloweens as she stands on the balcony of her Salem home. The memories, some full of interesting things that happened to her on the Most Hallowed Eve.

She has memories of lust, passion and horror. For her, most of the year, the lust and passion have pushed the horror from her mind, except on Halloween. Then the freaky, weird and terrifying memories emerge, and push the fond memories aside.

Her friends, Linda and Cindy figure heavily in her memories and thinking of them most of the time brings a smile to her face, and a twinge arousal between her loins. That is why Halloween is such a bittersweet time for Grace. It’s the terror that surrounded her friends that haunts her.

I often stood on the balcony on the front of my home overlooking the bay. It was called a widows walk for the wives of sea captains who could afford homes overlooking the bay. It is refreshing to drink a cup of coffee while feeling the morning breeze coming up the hillside carrying the smell of the moist, salty air. My name is Grace Goode, and I love living in Salem.

Salem Massachusetts is best known for the witch trials during the colonial times where women were accused of being witches and executed based on the testimony of school girls. But the town is a lovely coastal city with many things about it to make it a good community to raise children in. Many of the homes are built on the hillside giving excellent views of the ocean.

I could reflect on the last 30 years of my life. How Halloween Nights with my friends brough back bitter sweet memories that turned into quite a scary memories. Like the time two of my friends and I went horseback riding on Halloween night a more than a few years ago.
