This is the time of year we call Summerween. Ghosts are visiting empty pools. Witches are gathering their brewing tools, and insects…well, they’re doing whatever icky thing insects do. Yes, it’s sticky outside and if heat doesn’t kill us, or Covid, the nighttime creeps on the prowl surely will. Our theme this month is Summerween.

Our theme this month is campfire creatures.
shadows in the night
don’t stray from the path

New month means new theme, campfire creatures.
burnt marshmallows
ghastly campfire tales
one spooky summer
ghostly murmurs
endless eternity
lover’s vows
cold dark room
voice from another time
a ghost in the ice
emf meter
house full of spirits
thanksgiving guests
radio whining
indistinct voices
lost spirits
creaky staircase
stranger in their own home
haunted house
blue moon
spirits break free from their crypts
