Every Halloween, Old Man Jenkins turned his dilapidated house into the neighborhood’s spookiest haunted attraction. Covered in cobwebs and carved pumpkins, its eerie ambiance sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest trick-or-treaters.
Bathed in the eerie glow of a full moon, little Bobby mustered his courage and tentatively rang the rusty doorbell of Jenkins’s house. When the door creaked open, he was greeted by a grinning skeleton, his sense of dread was replaced with tickles of laugher. The skeleton was just Old Man Jenkins in a costume.
Thrilled by the unexpected humor, Bobby happily collected his candy and said feelingly, “You’re the best, Mr. Jenkins. You always make Halloween fun!”. Jenkins merely winked and gently closed the door.
Now, here’s the surprising twist: Old Man Jenkins had moved to a warmer climate two weeks ago! Nobody knew who or what was handing out candy at Jenkins’s old house. Bobby’s encounter became part of the mystifying legend of Old Man Jenkins’s haunted house, proving that the real magic of Halloween isn’t the fright, but the unexpected delight.
