Once upon a time in a small, quaint town named Pumpkinville, everybody was prepping for their favorite event of the year, Halloween. The rumor around town was that this year was going to be spookier, as the abandoned house on Creepy Corner was said to be haunted.
Meanwhile, young Timmy was adamant to prove otherwise. On this year’s Halloween night, he bravely marched to the haunted house, his heart pounding like a timpani. As he tiptoed in, the flickering lights and far-off whispers sent shivers down his spine.
Just as he was about to lose his nerve, he stumbled upon a dusty old mirror. He could see a faint, old man in the mirror – the supposed ghost of the haunted house. Terrified, Timmy yelled, “Who are you?”
Immediately, the image introduced himself as Gustav. In the mirror, he wore a blinding smile and a glowing badge that read “Pumpkinville’s Best Costume Maker.” Timmy realized it was all an elaborate prank by the most incredible Halloween prop maker the town ever saw.
In the end, the real haunting for Pumpkinville that Halloween was not Gustav, but the experience of laughter that rattled their bones to the core!
