"Such a B..." - ID# 6519
Move over Karen, Barb is here to talk to all the managers in Deadmonds. This pearl-clutching scarecrow comes preloaded with such classics as "I want to talk to your supervisor", "This coupon IS valid", "I know the owner", "No one wants to work these days", "What does anti-bullying mean?", "I've lived here [insert non-requested length of time to validate useless opinion]", and all non relevant stories that begin with "well in MY day...". This royal B is sure to put the "witch" in the witching season. Read more

"The Yost Park Phantom" - ID# 6555
Deep in the heart of Yost park, there is a great tree, and in the fathomless earth under this tree lies the corporeal remains of the Yost Park Phantom. When the twilight air grows cool, and the mists rise off the Salish Sea, the spirit of the Yost Park Phantom rises from the earthen depths and begins its slow saunter through the park, calling out for companions to join it under the great tree for an eternal slumber. So walk softly along the park at twilight, and if you hear a faint calling from the shadows of the park, know that the Yost Park Phantom is near... Read more
"The Fright Attendant" - ID# 11399
Welcome aboard The Scary Skies! Please stow your bones—I mean bags—and fasten your seatbelts, especially if you're in row 26 with our disappearing door. As we prepare for a fretful flight, remember that extreme turbulence can strike at any time, alongside screaming children, arm-rest hogs, loud snorers, strong odors, cramped legs, long lines to our dirty restrooms, and the occasional ghost who loves to hit the back of your chair. In first class, enjoy our mystery meal, featuring a mystery meat, sauce, a vegetable, and a dinner roll sure to have rolled onto the floor—don’t worry, the five-second rule is always in effect! For your frustration, our flights are frequently cancelled or delayed, and your checked luggage may vanish. If you have a connection, well, good luck with that terror in the terminal On behalf of our senior crew, we look forward to scaring you! Boo! Read more

Captain Jonathan Thorn and the remains of the crew of the blighted ship, The Tonquin, have pulled themselves from their watery graves in Clayoquot Sound and up Shell Creek, seeking to plunder and pillage. The horrid tableau must be seen to be believed, if one can countenance such horror. 6 of the damn-ed crew, in Davy Jones’s locker since 1811, have hoisted themselves to haunt on Halloween night, but the sea creatures that snacked on them still bedevil these scalliwags.
