Uncle John’s Halloween Story
When I was a boy, each year as the nights began to draw in, my uncle John would tell we
kids this Halloween story. It was a tale about a trick that he played in a graveyard. One night
Uncle John spotted his great friend Eddie weaving his way home from the village pub. As
John watched, he saw Eddie open the church’s litch gate and take the shortcut through the
graveyard.There was no doubt that Eddie was the worse for wear, and appeared disoriented,
really he should have taken the longer route home via the round ring. But then he cried out to
nobody in particular, ‘Where am I?’John replied instantly, ‘Amongst the living’.‘Where are
you?’ cried Eddie’; to which John replied in his most sepulchral voice, ‘Amongst the
dead’.Eddie sobered up instantly, rushed back the way he came, and took the long way
around thechurchyard. This time he preferring to go passed the roundring, rather than stay a
minute longer amongst the spirits of the gravestones.

standing on the shore, the tourist shouted,”Are there any gators around here?!”
“Naw,” the man hollered back, “they ain’t been around for years!”
“Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he asked the guy,”How’d you get rid of the gators?”
“We didn’t do nothin’,” the beachcomber said.
“The sharks got ’em.”
