Nice artwork.  Some of the figures that are created are truly amazing!!  SO much nicer than just a carved pumpkin or some store bought skeleton in the yard.

This made me think…. Does anyone have any spooky stories about an old Winchester?

Then there’s the Winchester House.  I assume everyone here knows that story.  I don’t believe Winchesters widow was haunted by anything other than unlimited money and free time.  

Happy Halloween

I have always been mighty impressed at the extent and quality of some of the costumes and facial makeup that some participants go to for the holiday.  It would be fun to go to Mexico and witness it first hand.

You’re correct, there is no story.  I could leave this right here and in 130 years people will ask, what happened.  The guy that left it there either died suddenly, or had so much gold to carry he couldn’t pack the rifle.
