luck to visitors.

Isabella, who was held captive there after plotting against her son Edward
III.

There
is no doubt that Halloween wouldn't be the same without a ghost or three. They
suppose to be scary, frighten you even, but those who dress up as a ghost always
bring a smile to my face.
Pumpkins, Frank N Stine, Goblins, watch out on Halloween, because the ghosts
are back in town, the un dead once more try to walk this earth, but we frighten
them and make them return from where they came.
So help keep them away, dress up as a spooky !
