The Witch of Ocala


As you know, witches are hard to find, even on Halloween. They like to do their dark deeds, well... in the dark. We caught this one, though, hanging around a hardware store. She was in the brooms. And quite engrossed. I snuck up behind her very quietly, then jumped in front of her and snapped this photo. She was so surprised and upset she turned green. The last I saw she was going up, up, up and away on a very old broom, shaking her fist at me.

But I'm not afraid of a plain old witch!  I once had an 8th-grade girl from Haiti in my geography class bring a voodoo doll to school and proceed to stick pins in me while giving me the "evil eye" because I wouldn't let her talk or run around in class! The voodoo didn't work. I don't think she passed the 8th-grade!

Wow! I don't think anyone has ever stuck in a voodoo doll intending to harm me. You have ALL the fun, Lowell! :))

I'm not sure if it is good to know that even you can scare a witch!

Obviously you are immune to witches and voodoo! (Anyone who has taught middle-school has built up all sorts of immunity!)
