October Halloween Story Time

The Lantern Man

It was Halloween night, and the small town of Hollow Creek was buzzing with festivities. Every year, the locals warned the kids to be home before midnight, whispering tales about the Lantern Man, a ghostly figure who roamed the woods just beyond town. No one knew exactly what he did, but everyone claimed he appeared once a year—on Halloween—carrying an old lantern, searching for those who dared stay out too late.
