Every Halloween night, in the heart of Sleepyville, the old McGee Mansion creaks and groans, begging for attention. Now, don’t be fooled by its crumbly exterior and cobweb-infested windows. You see, for it’s said that it’s the abode of the notorious Pumkin Specter.
Legend has it that years ago, a humble pumpkin farmer named Jed, vanished without a trace. Some say he angered the ghouls by stomping on their prized pumpkins. Consequently, each Halloween, a ghostly figure, Jed, carved pumpkins all around the mansion, hoping to mollify the ghouls.
On this particular Halloween, Sam and Lily, two astute and daring siblings decided, they’d get a peek at the legendary specter. Creeping up to the mansion, a chill ran down their spines. What were they getting themselves into? Keeping their fears aside, they tiptoed towards the tempting porch.
Suddenly, a pumpkin beside them burst into a radiant smile, revealing a ghostly slip of paper. It read, “Trick or Treat, Sam and Lily. Signed – your friend, the Pumpkin Specter!” They gasped. The legend wasn’t just, well, a legend!
Heart pumping, yet grinning ear-to-ear, they realized, the spectral farmer was only trying to observe the age-old tradition of Halloween – carving pumpkins and granting treats. Because in Sleepyville, even spirits loved fun!
