Welcome my friends to October 1, 2018 – we all know what that means. It’s time for Bacon’s Spooktoberfest! A month full of things that go bump in the middle of the night. The strange noises that vibrate through the house. The kind of eerie creepiness that settles in that you just want to run to your room and hide under your bed… Shivers. I almost scared myself. So friends stay tuned to my blog for excitement. This year, we are doing things a little different. We are writing a continuous story for 31 days of Bacon’s Spooktoberfest. So if you miss a day, you can catch up. Have a fun and scary month sweet friends.
And don’t worry, you can always hold my hoof.
Barks! Us all alone in the house. I’m so excited my tail won’t stop wagging. After the ‘family meeting’, we all ran to Bacon’s room for our own little anipal meeting. We can’t let the humans know how excited we are. We will rock this house, stay up as long as we want, eat what we want and watch anything we want on television. OMD – it will be a blast. I call Animal Planet.
Meow – I just want to be left alone on the big bed. I may need help setting my number on the Select Comfort to a happy 60 – that number is purfect for my spine. Houdini – there is enough televisions in this house that we all can watch what we want. I gotta see me some Jackson Galaxy. That man thinks he is the cat whisperer. He is so wrong. Man will never rules us cats – ever. Meows.
Oinks – We gotta set a plan in motion guys. When nana visits, we gotta make sure she leaves all of our goodies out and makes popcorn. I call the television in the living room. I just love stretching out on the chaise. That thing was made for my curvy body. And the ottoman next to it holds my laptop. OMP – I can spend hours on the computer and there’s no one to tell me to get off. I may have died and gone to heaven. But guys, we can’t be too happy in front of mom/dad. You know we gotta make sure they think we will be miserable and miss them – as if – snorts with piggy laughter. And don’t worry, I have dad’s credit card number. We can order pizza and have it delivered. That kid on Home Alone will have nothing on us!

There we all were – all of us anipals – me, Houdini and Hemi. It was time for the ‘family meeting’ here at the Hotel Thompson. Us anipals translated ‘family meeting’ into who left the fur ball on the pillow Hemi or who has been eating the cat food Houdini to the dreaded Bacon you need to slow down from flying through the house kind of meetings. These meetings were always about what we can do to improve the dynamics here at the Hotel Thompson. Rolls piggy eyes. I’m sure you can relate – boring – yawns.
We were settled in the living room when mom/dad walked in demanding our attention. But that’s when it turned weird. Mom brought popcorn to the meeting. All of us anipals love popcorn. Hey, something is not right. We all gathered our clusters of popcorn, started snacking and listening to mom/dad. Dad was talking. Now that’s weird. Usually it’s mom during the ‘family meetings’.
“Kids, we have some news that you might be a little upset at first but before you get upset, think of this time as an adventure”, dad then stopped and looked at mom before continuing. “Me and mom are going out for a couple of days this coming weekend. We are going to leave on Friday and come back Sunday. We think you are old enough not to be housed out to everyone. This time, nana will come and check on you to feed you but we are going to let you stay here in your home…. by yourselves.”
Us anipals just looked at each other in shock. What do you mean, leave us alone? Like all alone – no parental guardianship? PAWTY!! I mean, that’s a shame. I’m sure we will get along somehow. Secretly us anipals were high fiving each other behind our backs. Gotta make it look good though – sad looks on all of our faces and of course the needy hugs and lap time for sure.
Hello ghostly friends. Today we have a guest submission. This is from my brother Easy across the pond. And what a delicious hands on tale with pictures. I do so hope you enjoy it. Try not to shake too much.
The Legends of the Mont’s d’ Arree
Located in the middle of Finisterre, the Monts d’ Arree are the natural border between north and south of Finisterre. This area is the bretagne bretonnante, the heart of Brittany.
And the time stands still there… literally, you can google it, with all our modern stuff, satellites, radio masts and whatnot, here NO cell phone works. The area is occupied by goblins, druids and some creatures of the darkness.
At night the stone carvings of Ankou, the death, come back to life and therefore all hikers and wanderers avoid the abandoned buildings you can find even in the darkest forest and far away from civilization.
If you enter such a house, you never will leave it… even when you run like the wind or a Weimaraner… just saying.
There also is one of the sneakiest bogs, the Yeun-Elez. Legend has it that the devil hid his treasures once there and those who want to get rich will die trying. The Prince of Darkness will grab the gold diggers by their legs and he will drag them into eternal darkness. Even the entrance to hell, Youdig, is here in this bog….butt no worries, the devil is not at home he is on the way to Lac St. Michel where another creature of the night lures for fresh victims.
Do you wonder why there is foam on the water? That’s because the lake is the playground of the Kannerezed Noz, the washer women of the night. They come out at night to wash the burial garments of recently passed people.
If you meet them, you have to wash the garments with them till dawn… if you can’t stand this they will break your arms and throw you in the lake.
Every year around Howl-o-ween, the druids come to this places to celebrate their annual samhain and a lot of people of the Gorsedds of Bards from Wales, Awens of Cornwall or Scotland or the Goursez Breizh visit this area for their rituals and it is common here to see people in white, blue, red or green robes who wander through the bog or the mountains. We don’t laugh at them. We greet them and leave them alone. You never know where humbug ends and magic begins…. specially here… tout commence à finisterre.
Hello dear friends. Today I want to gently ease into my 31 Days of Spook. So today, let’s see how smart you are with things of fun.
What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost? Bamboo
When do ghosts usually appear? Just before someone usually screams
What do you call a ghost with a broken leg? Hoblin Goblin
What do you call a ghost in a torn sheet? A holy terror
Three vampires walk into a bar. One vampire says, “I’ll have a pint of blood”. The second one says, “I’ll have the same”. The third one says, “I’ll have a pint of plasma”. The bartendar says, “So, that’ll be two bloods and one blood lite.”
How can you tell if a vampire has been in a bakery? All of the jelly has been sucked out of the doughnuts.
What type of dog does every vampire have? A bloodhound
Thank you for making my 31 Days of Spook last month a great month.
I hope you had as much fun reading my blogs as I did creating them… and I hope I didn’t scare you too bad. I work year round in gathering different stories and fun facts to share. I really hope it showed.
As in years past, at the end of October I like to offer a badge for surviving my 31 Days of Spook. I like to give a special shout out to my brother Easy and his staff across the pond for coming up with this year’s, “I Survived 31 Days of Spook 2015”. I think this year’s badge really showcases my spooky October. Please feel free to share this special badge on your blog.
And thank YOU for visiting my blog and being part of my 31 Days of Spook. Now, I’m going to get some rest because you know what’s coming soon, right? That evil Elf on the Shelf – shivers. Is it that time already?
Today, I want to hear you laugh while you are afraid. Let’s go to the lighter side of horror. Let’s tickle that ghost bone and see what happens, shall we? Let’s start with some jokes and end with a favorite song of mine – I hope you enjoy it my little spooks!

Welcome my friends to another Bacon’s Tales of Terror. I hope the spooks and goblins haven’t been chasing you down… too much – snorts. Today we have a situation that could happen to the best of us. Something that would scare most of us… or would it?
Here you are walking down your street minding your own business thinking of pleasant things. Perhaps thinking of what to have for dinner or visiting a friend ‘just down the street’. Then all of a sudden the wind picks up, the trees start to sway and out of the blue the clouds start to come over head. You pick up your pace a bit because you know all heck is to break loose overheard.
Then that’s when you hear it. After every step, you hear a step behind you. You quickly turn but there’s no one there but the wind and leaves swooshing about. It gets darker. Then you pass a drainage hole in the sidewalk and you look down. Oh my piggy heavens… is that a hand coming out? What do you do? A double take at the ‘hand’? Do you pick up your pace hearing the steps behind you getting closer? Do you scream? Do you run? What do you do my friends?
Welcome my fellow goblins to my 31 Days of Spook. Today, I’m going to the lighter side of horror. Let’s tickle that ghost bone and see what happens, shall we?
