Halloween Countdown 2018, Day 28

My vote for the spookiest Halloween-friendly bit of local news this year comes from Ipswich. There is so much wrong with this story, I can’t even begin to unpack it. I’ll just be over in the corner in a fetal position while you read this article:

“Spiders Blamed after Broken Siren Played Creepy Nursery Rhymes Randomly at Night to Townsfolk.”

This went on for months!

"A tormented mother living in Bramford Road with her two young children has been woken on an almost nightly basis by a tinny, distant rendition of ‘It’s Raining, It’s Pouring’. She said the threatening undertone of the song had left her frightened and questioning whether she was imagining things. After months of torment, she finally reported the unusual complaint to Ipswich Borough Council."

I thought our local weather siren, which sounds a bit like Big Brother is getting ready to stamp his boot into my all-too-human face if I don’t seek shelter immediately, was off-putting. But thank goodness there are no spiders involved or – worse still – children’s rhymes in children’s voices. I’m counting my blessings.

Sleep well tonight, everyone.
