COLUMN Seeking haunted stories By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Editor Oh, October. How I’ve missed you. October is, in my opinion, the perfect month. Warm-ish days and chilly nights. The most beautiful colored leaves on (and off) trees. Fire pits, pumpkin everything and sweater and boots. It’s also time for my favorite holiday — Halloween. My love affair with Halloween and all things fall began at a young age. I credit my grandmother, known to all as Moo, for instilling in me an apprecia- tion for a good scare. She always dressed up as a haggard witch for Halloween, earning her other nickname, the Old Witch. She would sit outside on Halloween night as still as the darkness and as a trick-or-treater approached, she would let out a cackle that would send a chill up that poor HOPE E. kid’s spine. TREMBLAY I miss her. I don’t go around scaring children, but I do enjoy being a little bit scared myself. Haunted attrac- tions definitely attract me. The best one I’ve ever been to is in Sleepy Hollow, New York where a headless horseman rode through the outdoor haunting. I also love the myths and legends and folklore that goes hand-in-hand with Halloween. I look forward to local grave- HPC data looks back at opioid impacts in Mass. yard tours every year.
