This post may include affiliate links. #1 I left my house at about 8pm on Halloween night to go to the corner shop as I’d run out of a few basic bits. Due to covid and being generally busy and exhausted, the extent of my Halloween was watching some spooky movies with a couple friends. No decorations or anything.
So stupid me thinks, yeah, I’ll be totally fine to go alone to the corner shop on actual Halloween at 8pm at night. I’m in the UK so 8pm is like, as dark as midnight right now. Luckily, I live in quite a busy residential area, so we have a lot of streetlights, a lot of houses had their lights on, and there were bunches of kids out with parents trick-or-treating.
I literally get about 20ft out my front door, when suddenly, all the lights start to flicker and buzz. The street lights, the housing lights, the traffic lights, everything. It was like they were getting a power surge, getting dimmer and brighter, and dimmer again, started making a buzzing noise, genuinely like you’d expect to see in a Haunted House or a scary movie.
Everyone suddenly went silent and stopped in their track, started looking up, looking around at each other, looking confused, just like you would expect in a bad horror movie immediately before the monster / demon comes out and kills everyone.
Then suddenly a pop, and all the lights go out. Everything. It is now absolutely pitch black and you can’t see your hand in front of your face.
Worryingly though, you can still sort of sense movement, but what you can’t do, is tell if the person creeping up on you is a kid in a scary costume, or just a creepy adult being a creeper / trying to rob you.
Turns out little kids dressed as goblins and witches jumping out at you in the pitch black is still bloody terrifying. It was legit like walking through a Haunted House unexpectedly, and admittedly for free, but with it actually being real life where you don’t know if the people jumping out are just kids, or people dressing hp, or actual psychos, robbers, people off their faces on drugs etc. Oh and all the lights stayed off the entire night, and the next day and night too, so the entire thing was like a two day fear-fest.
Thank God for lights on cell-phones, but suffice to say, whoever was responsible for that, message received, I will never ever be as dumb to go out on Halloween in the dark on my own ever again. And that is the story of how a grown ass adult was scared by the dark on Halloween.

TW for stalking(?), etc.
This one actually happened last year. I was scheduled to work Halloween and it was actually really fun. We did a group costume and got to hand out candy to kids and I enjoyed it. But when I went out to my car I noticed it was sandwiched between two other cars. I am a small woman so this frightened me a lot, especially since we are forced to park at the back of the parking lot where not many people park. I found it odd that they parked directly next to my car when there were so many other spaces, and the people were literally standing outside of both cars and talking to each other OVER my cars. I was terrified. I had a male coworker walk me to my car and the group greeted us but we didn’t respond. I actually ended up making two trips to my car that night, both times walking with another coworker and avoiding the people surrounding my car. Thankfully nothing happened, it just really gave me a scare.
The odd/funny one:
As a young teenager I went trick or treating on my own because all my friends were out of town and this one lady had an opened but otherwise untouched can of soup on her porch. She asked me about it and I admitted I had no clue how it got there. And then funny enough a few houses down someone had a full watermelon on their porch. Not sure if it was some sort of complex prank or whatever happened to it, but I just found it kind of funny.

A big hardware store was using red masking tape to mark large items as "paid" and when I explained why I wanted it, the cashier sold me a roll!
At the dance, I spotted an Admiral, and rushed over to wrap him in red tape too. He almost decked me, then laughed and left it on.

"Why are the old ones here?" (talking about me and another friend I brought). She gave us candy, but when we were leaving, my friend and I got the "Don't come back next year, then you'll definitely be too old!"

I didn't think much of it because hey, it's a cat after all. Eventually I get up and see a frigging blood trail all over the floor.
Turns out my cat stepped in a glass shard (wherever that came from) and left bloody paw prints everywhere.
He's okay now and I even found the shard but yeah, that was a shock. Report Final score: 4points Xottel POST tara tara Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 week ago Poor kitty :( 1 1point reply #16 I made out with my best friend . . .

TW for stalking(?), etc.
This one actually happened last year. I was scheduled to work Halloween and it was actually really fun. We did a group costume and got to hand out candy to kids and I enjoyed it. But when I went out to my car I noticed it was sandwiched between two other cars. I am a small woman so this frightened me a lot, especially since we are forced to park at the back of the parking lot where not many people park. I found it odd that they parked directly next to my car when there were so many other spaces, and the people were literally standing outside of both cars and talking to each other OVER my cars. I was terrified. I had a male coworker walk me to my car and the group greeted us but we didn’t respond. I actually ended up making two trips to my car that night, both times walking with another coworker and avoiding the people surrounding my car. Thankfully nothing happened, it just really gave me a scare.
The odd/funny one:
As a young teenager I went trick or treating on my own because all my friends were out of town and this one lady had an opened but otherwise untouched can of soup on her porch. She asked me about it and I admitted I had no clue how it got there. And then funny enough a few houses down someone had a full watermelon on their porch. Not sure if it was some sort of complex prank or whatever happened to it, but I just found it kind of funny.
