The Ghosts, Goblins, And Dark Spooky Nights

It's that time of year again, a time of ghost stories and trick or treaters.

One night in the Glebe I took photos of a Hallowe'en display outside a home. They include your standard ghosts, jack o'lanterns... and Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I have featured this display before.


These are the Hallowe'en decorations at a restaurant patio at Lansdowne.


In Little Italy one day, I heard voices speaking before I turned a corner onto this side street. Inflatable decorations were set up. The voices were automated, coming from the two mechanized figures on the porch, who were both moving for good measure.


And these two shots are from the front window of a second hand shop in Centretown.

  2. In my town I only saw one privatee house decorated for Halloween and that was probably an American family ! Otherwise you only find a little Halloween decoration in the shop windows, but each year a little more !

  14. Not so spooky around here, maybe because students are really hunkered down right now getting their school work done.
