I am being unreasonable to think this is the strangest thing to have happened to a person on Halloween?

Go on, go on, go on. And I think I can beat you all. But you go first...

He hurried behind us. "She's a good woman Hepzibah is and my natural daughter. They all took on so after she was born with t'hare lip. Her mother was a beauty in her day and I never saw the consequences of consorting with that ilk."

We began to walk, the darkness seeming to steal all the air. The hooves were fading away now but replaced by another sound. This one was quieter but heavier and we were walking toward it now.....

The gamekeeper lowered his long rifle. "This is private property. Thy'd do as well to stay out. If it's a tavern thy's wanting, go back t'village. There's Devil's Corner wher'd Hepzibah'll see you a good spread."

Not last night but the (dark and stormy) night before, three wee witches came to my door.
One had a fiddle, one had a drum, one had a pancake stuck to her bum.

I tried to start the engine again but it was dead. Shuggie said, "Should we ask directions at the castle?"

Ah but did you lose your heart to a starship trooper ?
I have got that stuck in my head now and you could always set your story to the tune.

Clump, Clump, Clump., the hooves got louder drowning out the wind. No other sounds were heard not even the rain. Shuggie shivered though he'd never felt warmer in his fur coat......

It was a dark and stormy night
and we all sat round the fire
and the Captain said to the Joker
'Tell us a story'
And the Joker said....

Not the other random stuff at the end. Just Je ne regrette rien. God bless 'em singing isn't their strong suit. You try to get 123 different nationalities to hold a tune in an unphonetic language. No wonder the band sargeant is always prematurely bald.

Did you actually?

Show quote history

Yeah! I live in the French Foreign Légion 2ème Rép town. Everybody here knows it. Still live here after all these years. Even my mumsnet name is outing because it's the name of my (now dead) dog.

And she was a local celebrity chihuahua dog. I've lived a varied life.

I lost my virginity aged 23 to a paratrooper in the French Foreign Légion.

Did you actually?

He was alright actually. Saw him for quite a bit afterwards. Long time ago but for me, that's Halloween.

And a great one it sounded too 😊

We’d just moved into a new house so didn’t know it was a popular Halloween road, I was pregnant, unpacking and Halloween was the last thing on my mind.
Anyway the doorbell rang so we stayed in back rooms and pretended we were out.
All seemed fine, then heard a little ping of letter box. Waited another minute in back room to make sure they were gone.
Opened door into hallway and it absolutely reeked of sulphur. Cfs had posted a stink bomb. Nearly threw up as pregnant and just felt throughly fucked off at the time.
The smell went quite quickly thank god - amusing enough now I look back years later. To this day I always check I have loads of sweets now on 31st.

Is this where we all write a story together. Taking turns line by line?

I just blew the suspense.
