Deadly Halloween Mistake

The entire Halloween season is a time of mysterious and gloomy things for decoration as tradition of the holiday. More recently, decorations have become exceedingly more realistic than ever before, and people put so much effort into the way they decorate the house. Witches, goblins, ghosts, coffins, vampires, you name it people have it on their property or house.
On October 26th, 2005 in the town of Frederica, Delaware, something quite interesting and appalling took place. Halloween decorations in the two of Frederica is just like that of any town in the United States. Many houses are decorated with alot of detail and precision. On one of the houses in this town, a woman was hanging from a tree about 15 feet from the ground. She was easily seen from a busy road, and everyone that saw it believed it was just another Halloween prop.
However, this was not the case. The body hanging from the tree was actually a real 42 year old woman who had hung herself. The body had been hanging there for much of one day before the cops came to investigate the situation. I thought this was a disturbing tale that should be known to others. So this Halloween, when your walking around the neighborhood, don’t second guess yourself if you think a decoration looks too real to be true.
