What is the strangest thing you have seen on Halloween? It could be a decoration, neighbor, trick or treater, anything?

Several years back, we had a MIDDLE AGED MAN, TOTing at my house! He came with this huge group of kids from a neighboring town...you know when you get those huge groups, half the time you don't see the kids or costumes, you are focused on getting the candy in the bags/buckets before the next huge group of kids come to the door. So as I was trying to give the back row of kids their candy, the man steps up with his pillow case....My mouth dropped to the floor...he was kind of creepy looking too!

I had a group of teenagers come to my door several years ago asking for beer and alcohol. I was the only one home (DH was out with the girls) and while I was not scared, I was very uncomfortable. There were about 6 of them - boys & girls - and one girl is up too close and asked if I had any beer. When I said no, she asked if I had any other alochol. I said no, she asked if I had anything else to drink. I laughed and said no. A few days later a group of teenagers (never found out if it was the same ones or not) set off firecrackers on my front porch at about 4 in the afternoon. My kids were little at the time - and we didn't really know any teenagers, I never found out if it was revenge for not giving them beer or a case of mistaken identity.

Last Halloween the kids and I came home after trick or treating to find a bat, yes, a real bat hanging from our dining room ceiling! EWW!! I grabbed the kids, the dog after taking a closer look and closed the kitchen door! Called my DH on his cell and he said "huh, I wonder how that got into the house". He thought I was playing a joke on him being Halloween and all! He came home and was completely speechless! Never saw one before in my life and hope I never see another one, especially in my house! It made horrible noises while hubby was trying to get it out of the house! YUCK!

I told him if I come home to another bat in the house we are moving! LOL

One time a man asked my kids where they live and it really creeped them out.

EWWWWWW! That sends chills up my spine!

There was just a story about a lot of bats flying around in a dorm. The kids were swating them with brooms and other things. Those kids ended up needing to get rabies shots. Scary!

He,he, he, we live next to the river and have 15-20 bats a year find their way into the house. We used to get them with tennis raquets. Now we use a fishing dip net and set them free outside.
We had trick or treat this past sunday afternoon in our town. There was a rather larger 30 something man dressed in a baby diaper with a huge pacifier, and his daughter who he was taking trick or treating was dressed as mary poppins. I thought that was totally creepy on so many levels.
