Once upon a Halloween night, in a quaint little neighborhood, shrouded in the ghostly moonlight stood Old Lady Grumble’s creepy house, smothered by wildly growing ivy. Old Lady Grumble was known for her gruff manner, love for cats, and most notably, her bizarre Halloween traditions. For years, she had never turned away any trick-or-treaters, yet they always emerged from her funny old place, slightly disturbed but oddly satisfied.
This year, a brave little girl named Clara, armed with curiosity and the spirit of Halloween, decided to knock on Old Lady Grumble’s creaky front door. As it opened, she gasped. An enormous black cauldron bubbled near the fireplace, popping out…candied skull lollipops! Old Lady Grumble, with a wicked grin, handed one to Clara. This wasn’t any ordinary sweet. It spoke! “You’re brave, Clara! Expect fun!” it said before turning to dust in her hands. Astonishingly, Clara found herself laughing. It was unsettling, but it didn’t feel terrifying anymore.
And dear fellows, what’s the surprising ending? The old haunted house wasn’t haunted at all! Our Old Lady Grumble was simply a retired voice actress living out her golden years in an unusual spooky way: By voicing candies! Halloween in that town was never the same again, delightfully haunted by the voice of a sweet old lady.
