Tracking Bloody Bones
These stick-on-the-floor feet will have them all believing that Bloody Bones is in the house ...somewhere!
Bloody Bones...
this is how I remember the story.
Told around the campfire and/or as a Halloween haunt story!!
A skeleton is creeping toward your house...you hear its voice in the distance, "Bloody Bones is going to get youuuu, Bloody Bones is going to get youuuu!" So you run for cover in the hall and still hear "Bloody Bones is going to get youuuu, Bloody Bones is going to get youuuu!" You run as fast as you can to the top of the stairs and hear, "Bloody Bones is in the halllll, Bloody Bones is in the halllll"! By now you are freakin' out; heart racing, sweat poring down your forehead, you turn and run as fast as you can to your bedroom, only to hear, "Bloody Bones is on the stairssss, Bloody Bones is on the stairssss!...

Spooky! I used to love the creepy, scary, aspects of Halloween but haven't been in to it much since I started a family. I think my 2 oldest kiddos would love this page - I'll be back to read them some scary stories tonight (after we're all stuffed to the gills with sweets).
Happy Halloween!!
