I, too, was terrified of the Headless Horseman.<br />My mother's family thought scaring kids was expected. One year, my friends and I had to walk through real woods in the dark where the adults had hidden and then leaped out at us. The object of this game was for the winning kid to make it back with salt still clutched in his/her hand and a mouthful of cider!<br />When I was deemed too old to trick-or-treat, I dressed as a horrifying witch and sat completely still on a dark porch (just pumpkin light). When the kids reached for the cauldron filled with candy, I cackled. The next summer I heard some kids passing our house and one said, "That's where the witch lives." Oh, I'm bad.Tricia J.
