Scaring hobby

A man and a short, but scary, clown react on Halloween to a spooky Vel Walker in the haunted garden she and Dale Walker have put on for, they guessed, 50 years at their Electric City home, including some 14 skeletons and several hidden, live? ghouls, plus at least three volunteers in almost normal (for Halloween) appearance handing out popcorn balls. They spend two to three weeks each year getting the experience ready to scare people. - Scott Hunter photo
