Halloween zombie mistaken for murder victimHalloween zombie mistaken for murder victim

Bad Segeberg, Hamburg  - Germany

Passengers on a train thought that a Halloween reveller, who was dressed up as zombie, was actually a murder victim.  They were alarmed because his hands and face were smeared with what looked like blood.  Because they suspected foul play, fellow passengers on the train called the police and also alerted the ambulance service.

When paramedics arrived they soon realized that the 24-year old man was in a drunken slumber rather than dead.  A little later the police boarded the train, questioned man and asked him to remove his frightening make-up.  He was then allowed him to continue his train journey home.

An official police spokeswoman said:

'Bad Segeberg is in a rural area and Halloween isn't very well known there; so people weren't expecting anyone to be dressed up in the train.'

An un-attributed acquaintance said:

'I was on that train, and my friend looked just the same as normal. I don't understand why they called the authorities'.

Halloween Aliens

Out in the Andromeda galaxy is a newly discovered comet.  The C/2007 L1 is one of the most unusual structures that astronomers have ever seen.

On October 31st, 2007, astro-photographer Pedro Torres of Puebla, Mexico, took a close-up picture of the comet's core.  Pedro used a combination of two 120-second exposures obtained using a 30-cm reflector, a Sigma 6303 CCD camera, and a blue filter. Halloween Comet 17P/Holmes

The photograph was taken at a perihelion distance of 1.07 AU.  What it reveals is startling new structure in the center of comet C/2007 L1.  The whole of the coma is very brilliant and unusually, the nucleus containing two extra bright eyes.  The comet's tail was not curved thus producing a circular effect. 

Pedro has applied to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for the official name of comet C/2007 L1 to be called 'Halloween'.  See picture to the right:-

Funny Halloween Story - Stanley SpitfireFunny Halloween Story - Stanley Spitfire

Daredevil pup Stanley attracts more than a few stares when he goes for a 'walk' in his miniature Spitfire. Passers-by might think the four month old wire-haired fox terrier is crazy, but he loves donning his flying hat, goggles and jacket for a spin reports the Metro.

Owners Phil and Sharon Cook, both in their 40s, mocked up the miniature plane for a Halloween party, but Stanley enjoyed it so much that they can be seen trundling around the streets near their home in Leigh, Essex. Mrs Cook added, 'Stanley loves it. We decided to go for a Spitfire as a nod towards Remembrance Day. He is content to sit in the cockpit and watch the world go by.'

The plane is made from an old holdall attached to a skateboard, while Stanley's flying hat is fashioned from an old cuddly toy.

Bear Tries Trick or Treat

October 31st 2007 - Sussex County, New Jersey, USA.  A bear tried his version of 'trick or treat'.  Detectives discovered an abandoned van in Vernon; it contained paw prints, black bear hair, and the crucial evidence - Tootsie candy wrappers.  In a television interview, police said that the bear broke into a van because it was attracted by the Halloween candy.  Police believe the bear nudged the hand brake, causing the vehicle to roll down the street.  Fortunately, the van stopped after 20 yards when it gently hit the curb.

A police lieutenant said: 'Our patrolman followed the trail of candy wrappers into the Wawayanda woods, but the suspect got away'. 

What people outside America may not realise is that Vernon, New Jersey is on the edge of the Wawayanda State Park.  Moreover, there are so many black bears in the park that in 2005 they had to have an organised bear hunt to reduce their numbers from an estimated 3,000 bears.

Will and Guy have created the following re-construction of the bear's get-away following his 'trick or treat':

A Witch on a Broomstick - School LogoA witch on a broomstick logo

The flying witch appears on the pupils' sports kit and uniforms of Warboys Community Primary School and has been used for the last 60 years. However, Will and Guy have discovered that some pupils and even some teachers have avoided the school because of this 'scary' logo. Opinions in the village are running high and over 1000 signatures have been obtained on a petition to keep the historic emblem.

The historical background to the witch motif is that Warboys is the last recorded place in England where witches were hanged. Apparently Alice Samuels, her husband John and her daughter Agnes were executed in 1593 after being accused by a 10-year-old girl, her four sisters and servants of causing them to have fits.

A spokesperson has stated, 'Witchcraft and Hallowe'en does not form part of the school curriculum and is something schools go out of their way to avoid. The school is aware that some parents choose not to send their children to Warboys and cite the witch as one of the reasons why.'

Martin Kelsey, the head teacher responsible for improving standards at the school, admitted, 'From the villagers' point of view, it's an emotive issue, because they are very, very proud of their history.'

However, we have learned that the school governors seem determined to get rid of the logo as part of measures to give it a 'fresh start' after poor inspection reports.

The Old Witch by The Brothers Grimm

There was once a little girl who was very wilful and who never obeyed when her elders spoke to her - so how could she be happy?

One day she said to her parents, 'I have heard so much of the old witch that I will go and see her. People say she is a wonderful old woman, and has many marvellous things in her house, and I am very curious to see them.'

But her parents forbade her going, saying, 'The witch is a wicked old woman, who performs many godless deeds - and if you go near her, you are no longer a child of ours.'

The girl, however, would not turn back at her parents' command, but went to the witch's house. When she arrived there the old woman asked her:

'Why are you so pale?'

'Ah,' she replied, trembling all over, 'I have frightened myself so with what I have just seen.'

'And what did you see?' inquired the old witch.

'I saw a black man on your steps.'

'That was a collier,' replied she.

'Then I saw a gray man.'

'That was a sportsman,' said the old woman.

'After him I saw a blood-red man.'

'That was a butcher,' replied the old woman.

'But, oh, I was most terrified,' continued the girl, 'when I peeped through your window, and saw not you, but a creature with a fiery head.'

'Then you have seen the witch in her proper dress,' said the old woman. 'For you I have long waited, and now you shall give me light.'

So saying the witch changed the little girl into a block of wood, and then threw it on the fire. When it was fully alight, she sat down on the hearth and warmed herself, saying:

'How good I feel! The fire has not burned like this for a long time!'
