The Ghost Maker: A Halloween Tale

"I live my days in silence, behind the barred in windows of this asylum, in a cell of shadows. Until this moment I have spoken to no living person of the events of that Halloween night five years ago - because I could neither ask for nor expect belief."

I know a twelfth one if I see,
up in a tree,
a dangling corpse in a noose,
I can so carve and color the runes,
that the man walks
And talks with me.

Re-posting some AWESOME photos from my bud Jon's 2009 Halloween display.
These make you want to sit next to the fire and pray for dawn to come a littler earlier than usual. Like the night isn't going to stay away from the flames. After all, it's Halloween, the festival of Samhain.
