Cartoon of The Day: When The Devil Is In The Details

 

 Taken at the Dickens Project. Not sure why someone wanted to look like a demon at an Xmas event, though maybe the spirits with her knew the Ghosts of Christmas.

Cartoon of The Day: Haunted Body

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass, DeniseUnicorn Toonie asked if I could make a cartoon of her dark-looking avie for Halloween. I could think of one way it could happen.

Cartoon of The Day: Dying in SL

 

Taken at Furry Fashion. While your avatar can be sent back to it's home location (or a newbie area if you didn't set one), unless you or the Lindens delete your account, an avatar can't truly die. But some avatars make it look like you did.

Cartoon of The Day: Happy Halloween

 

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen. Someone came over in a Halloweenish look, pale skin and dark clothes. While it's often the skin color of the undead in stories, I could think of a few other things that could cause the color to drain.

Cartoon of The Day: Internet Ghost

 

 

 Taken at "Hammieween." Yes, I know, bad joke.

Cartoon of The Day: Ghost Dog

 

 

 Taken at the Shop and Hop. One lady had a ghost pet with her, presumably a dog. While there is the scare factor with any burglars, there is one other advantage to having one that comes to mind.

Cartoon of The Day: Not Gelatin

 

 

 Taken at the Luna's Empire sim. I saw this translucent green pony at a desert stall with cookies and other sweet snacks. Was she made out of gelatin or slime? One can imagine someone thinking for former trying to take a bite, and end up with a mouthful of slimy goo instead.

Cartoon of The Day: Tablecloth Ghost

 

 Taken at the Furry Fashion Lounge. At their "Horror" party, someone showed up as a ghost, but wearing a tablecloth instead of a bedsheet, with sandwiches on their head. Thinking about it, well, with all the candy around, Halloween is when many diets die.

The Caledon Downs Halloween Ghost Hunt

It's Halloween, so time for this year's spooky attraction at Caledon Downs. In the past, they've had haunted trails and a spooky shooting gallery. This year combines a bit of both with a "Ghost Hunt." A notecard about the event had the following

We are fed up with the high population of ghost that appear all across our region. Therefore we are announcing a bounty on them. There are 4 levels to achieve. The levels are for who gets the most of these ghastly specters. The rewards are for the most L$1500, 2nd most L$1000, 3rd most L$500, 4th most L$250. You may use what projectile firing weapon you like. These ghost are popping up all over Downs but only appear for a few seconds before vanishing again so you will have to watch carefully and move around.

 The "hunting lodge" so speak is the Goblin Cave Community Center located in the center of Caledon Downs. In there is located the information panels and the totals counter. The hunt will last till the end of the Halloween Dance at the Goblin Cave at 8PM SLT on Oct 29th then the winner of the bounties will be announced. Course there is no bag limit and season ends on the morning of Nov 1st. giving more time to just enjoy hunting.  Have any questions contact Dame Cynthia Farshore or Duke Shockwave Yareach.

As the notice says, any projectile gun can be used in the hunt. I just used an old freebie popgun. Presumably those interested in taking part know how to go in and out of mouselook. Looking around the sim, I found ghosts in various places. A few places on the sim have more concentrations than others. When hit, the ghosts say one of several various comments, "Hey, I'm already deceased!" "Dead again!", then vanish. They won't be gone long, and will soon reappear, sometimes with the sound of spooky laughter, but only for a few seconds. They still count as additional kills for score

The kill counter as stated is in the Goblin Cave, located not far from the bar counter. It lists the best several scores. Also as stated, Linden cash prizes are being offered to the four best shooters, with 1500L going to the top scorer, 1000L to second place, 500L to 4rd, and 250L for fourth. It should be noted that just because you're on the scoreboard doesn't mean you'll stay there as new hunters enter the game and those already in get higher scores. Those whom want the top prize can't relax until the contest is declared done at 8PM Thursday October 29 at the end of the Goblin Cave Halloween Dance. But the game will go on until early November 1, the morning after Halloween, for those whom want to keep on hunting ghosts.

A very Halloweenish and fun shooting game.

Cartoon of the Day: Creeper Peeper

Taken at a Caledon Halloween party. It's been stated someone becomes a ghost if they have unfinished business. So if a guy has an unsatisfactory love life, might he as a spirit haunt places where they can watch the girls like they never could before?

New Toulouse Ghost Hunt

Gemma Cleanslate went back to New Toulouse for their recent game. Officially, it's called the "Spectral Activity Survey," but in layman's terms, it's a ghost hunt. This isn't "Ghostbusters" as you're not hunting down ghosts to get rid of them, but to listen to their stories. Those who complete hunts are rewarded with gifts.

Read Gemma's story in Events.

Seanchai Library at "Scare Me Silly"

Corwyn Allen tells a spooky tale to an audience at the Water Haven sim as part of the Seanchai Library's two hour event on Sunday October 22 from 1 to 3PM at Team Diabetes' "Scare Me Silly" event. Besides Corwyn, Join Aoife Lorefield, Dubhna Rhiadra, Caledonia Skytower, and VT Torvalar also had some scary stories.
