Young Billy and his mother finished decorating their quaint farmhouse for Halloween. Houses were miles apart in their town, yet every Halloween, trick-or-treaters were unfailing. Billy wondered where they all came from.
On this particularly eerie Halloween night, Billy spotted a strange, Halloween loving cat. It was gleefully playing with the faux cobwebs, it had beautiful and intense orange eyes that seemed to almost glow in the dark.
“Creepy cat,” Billy thought, but continued handing out candies. Night fell, yet the trick-or-treaters kept coming and the mysterious cat never left the porch.
Upon realizing they were out of candy, Billy’s mother turned off the porch light. Oddly, even though the light was off and it was late into the night, the trick-or-treaters kept arriving.
Then, out of curiosity, Billy closely looked at the cat and saw a small amulet around its neck. It was an odd, out of place thing, with an embossed symbol that resembled their farmhouse!
He quickly removed the pendant, and all of a sudden the flow of trick-or-treaters stopped. Turning to his mother with a sigh of relief, Billy said, “I think we finally found the real Halloween spirit and it’s been hanging around a cat’s neck all along!”
