Since I never checked back in, our Halloween went well. I’ve got lots of videos to put up actually, and we’re still working on getting the site back online… but new pictures have already gone up in the gallery!

Anyway, I’m really here to write about the creep that showed up around 5:30 pm on Halloween. He had a clipboard and the first thing he said to me (Jen, in costume and camera in hand) was, “Who are you, the paparazzi witch?”

He later went on to tell me he not only belonged to the Euclid Chamber of Commerce (for owning what, he didn’t say) but also that he worked for the Euclid Sun Journal and was doing a piece on us. He said he couldn’t believe we’d never made it into the paper and that his photographer was going to try to make it out, but no guarantees, because there was an accident or something she had to photograph.

He had a friend with him, his name was Ken. I don’t remember creepy guy’s name. Anyway, he hung around, chatted everyone up while Ken stood around kind of staring at his shoes and not having a good time. Somewhere along the way I saw the flash from a camera. This was supposedly his photographer from the Euclid Sun Journal.

Come 8pm, aka time to turn the stragglers away, creepy guy and Ken were long gone. Like they never were. They arrived and left on foot, both times very quickly.

We checked the internet, and we even wasted however much money on a freaking Euclid Sun Journal and GUESS WHAT. Nothing about us.

I searched long after, and even had friends looking, in case I was an idiot who couldn’t read or find pictures of my OWN HALLOWEEN HAUNT… but nothing.

Now I never for a second doubted that creepy guy was from this newspaper, because the Euclid Sun Journal is to journalism as dog shit is to gourmet cuisine.

ANYWAY… I guess creepy doesn’t work for the Euclid Sun Journal (that literary trouser pile) after all. If he does… hey, creepy? Where’s my article? Dipshit.

I half expect creepy and Ken to show up next year, and if they do, I’m gonna be Ninja Witch on their ass.

Here’s the best photos I could get:
