Dodge City, Kansas
"A Ghost of A Chance"
Strange things are said to happen on Halloween. None so strange as what occurs in the old West town of Dodge City every year. I have seen this myself so I know it to be true.....
Lock your doors, draw your curtains and cozy up on your couch as I recount the events of Halloween, 2006.
On the spur ( yuk!yuk!) of the moment, I decided to visit this famous town. I choose Halloween for a purpose . I wanted to see the magic I had read about. .....And I wanted to be alone.....
As soon as I walked down Front Street, I felt my heart racing. THIS was the street that Marshal Matt Dillon had traversed, countless times. It was THIS street that Sunshine had galloped down in a flurry to see her darling Matt. I laughed out loud as I envisioned her screaming "Hee Haw, MattBaby, I looooooooooove you!!"
I looked all around.....There was the merchantile, Newly's gun shop, the bank and Doc's office.....Oh, wonderful,wonderful Doc. Next I saw the famous Long Branch Saloon......Good ol' Miss Kitty. I walked inside and marveled at the old piano, bar and tables and chairs. It was EXACTLY the way it had been in circa 1873.
Then I walked across the street to the jail ...... U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon....Hmmmmmm. What a man. I have read about him all my life and I felt honored to be standing in his office.
I was so exhausted from the plane trip and from all the excitement, I lay down on a cot just off the main room to catch my breath and to rest for a few minutes Then it hit me!! Oh,my!! I was in MATT'S bed!! Well, at least the bed he used to sleep on , before he moved in with Sunshine. Ohhhhh, Matt.
I was almost asleep when I heard something. I opened my eyes and listened carefully. My heart was pounding so hard it was difficult to hear anything else! I tried to calm my nerves. There!! There was the sound again! I jumped up and ran to the door. It was music coming from across the street.
I actually shook my head....I must have looked like a cartoon character!! I looked around me and could barely believe my eyes. I saw the shadowy outlines of people!! The townsfolk of Dodge!! I followed the strains of the music and it led me through the swinging doors of the Long Branch. "The Yellow Rose Of Texas" could be heard from the piano!!!
As I stood there, totally mesmerized and a wee bit frightened, I felt a presense next to me. ...A very STRONG presense. I knew instantly that it was ........

How bout this.
Go to your ghost town, bring a bag full of candy. Place candy pieces on each of the steps of the buildings. Then run around yelling trick or treat and retrieve the candy from the preset places!
Why, its not crazy at all! O _ O Uahaha. WAhahaha!
