Halloween. The word makes me think of the guy in the mask and bloody, gory, badly-done 80s thrillers. And instantly, I'm shivering! Give me a spider or a creepy-crawly (one at a time, please), and I am just fine. Keep your horror movies and haunted houses...
Back in 1968, my family moved to Lake Charles. We moved into the nice, sunny house in the picture and got settled in.
After the first night in the house, my mom asked me, 'What was that weird music you were listening to last night'? I told her that I didn't listen to any kind of music at all. Yet she did hear some weird music. A few months later, I heard it, too.
And that was just the beginning.
