Every October, Mycelia gets a surge in the population of evil spirits. Everybody in their area of the island fend them off in their own way–carving scary faces into vegetables and squashes, putting on scary masks and costumes, loading up on fruit and candy because there’s a rumor that the spirits hate the smell and taste of sugar.

Where I live, I put on my mean face and dance like wild with my flame paintbrush, drawing scary charging spectres to keep them far away from there! It’s scarily good fun.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
