Once upon a vivid Halloween night, in the peculiar town of Spooksville, lived a youthful boy named Timmy who possessed a tremendous love for everything scary. But, despite his enthusiasm, there was one chilling tradition Timmy had never taken part in – visiting the ominous Old Broomfield Manor at the very top of Broomfield Hill.
Each year at midnight, legend told that the spirit of the original owner, Old Lady Broomfield, would make her annual spectral appearance on her rusty balcony. And on this specific Halloween, Timmy bravely decided to learn the truth.
As the midnight hour approached, Timmy, armed with a flashlight, approached the dilapidated mansion. The clock struck twelve, and to everyone’s surprise, there she was – Old Lady Broomfield stood on the balcony!
With the flashlight held high, Timmy froze in awe while his heart thumped in his chest. Suddenly, she raised a crooked finger and pointed straight at him. Everyone gasped!
Then to everyone’s shock, Old Lady Broomfield said, “Hey, would you please put that flashlight out? I’m trying to get some sleep here!” The crowd erupted with laughter, and from that day forward, Halloween in Spooksville was never the same.
