Last night, as I was preparing for bed, I heard a strange tapping sound coming from outside my window. It was a cold and eerie night, perfect for ghostly occurrences, so I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine when I heard the taps. Curiosity got the better of me, and with a mix of fear and excitement, I cautiously peered out the window. To my surprise, I saw a hazy figure in a tattered cloak, illuminated by the soft glow of the full moon. It was a witch! The witch continued to tap on my window with her bony, gnarled fingers. With every tap, her face contorted into a wicked grin.
Hadwin isn’t the only interesting criminal to have set up camp on the islands. Another, Stephen Reid, was part of the Stopwatch Gang, a group of men who robbed 100 North American banks in the 1970s and 1980s, including a score of six gold bars, worth $700,000, from the Ottawa airport in 1974. He and his partners achieved folklore status for their considerate treatment of civilians, but the authorities weren’t amused and sentenced him to 14 years in prison, where he penned the fascinating book, Jackrabbit Parole. That caught the eye of the rebellious Canadian poet Susan Musgrave and the two later married in a penitentiary, surrounded by razor wire. After Reid was paroled, he and Musgrave spent much of their time on Haida Gwaii, just a few miles east of Masset, or in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, living in a tree house. Reid was crime-free and family oriented for years, but in 1999, drug-fueled and dressed as a police officer, he strapped a sawed-off shotgun to himself and robbed a branch of Victoria’s Royal Bank. He fled with $92,000, but was taken into custody shortly after and sentenced to 18 years in prison. He was paroled in 2008 and again spends time with Musgrave on Haida Gwaii.
The center consists of five cedar longhouses and a carving shed where local artists craft traditional canoes and paddles, totems, and even bentwood boxes, which are four-sided containers crafted from a single piece of cedar that is steamed and bent. I first felt a need to step on the Queen Charlotte Islands back in the 1980s when a friend and I steered a 42-foot long wood trawler, called the Cape Cross, from the West Wall in Seattle through the inside passage to Petersburg, Alaska.
With every tap, her face contorted into a wicked grin. It was a chilling sight. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Was this just a Halloween prank? Or something more sinister? As I mustered up the courage to confront the witch, I opened the window. The tapping grew louder, and I braced myself for what might come next. However, to my disappointment, the witch vanished into thin air, leaving only a faint trace of her presence. I couldn't help but wonder what her intentions were. Was she trying to lure me into her wicked embrace, or was she simply playing a mischievous game? The unanswered questions haunted me throughout the night, as I tossed and turned in bed, unable to shake off the eerie encounter. In the morning light, I realized that the ghostly Halloween witch tapping was just a reminder of the supernatural elements associated with the spooky holiday. It was a fleeting moment of fear and excitement that ultimately left me with a lingering sense of mystery and wonder..

1. John Doe - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Ghostly Halloween Witch Tapping". The storyline was so predictable and cliché, with no originality whatsoever. The characters felt flat and lacked depth, and the dialogue was cheesy and cringe-worthy. The scares were lackluster and failed to create any real sense of terror. Overall, I found it to be a poor execution of the Halloween theme.
2. Jane Smith - 1/5 - "Ghostly Halloween Witch Tapping" was a complete waste of my time. The special effects were laughably bad, and the acting was even worse. The plot was non-existent and made absolutely no sense. I couldn't even make it through the entire movie without rolling my eyes and wanting to switch it off. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is looking for a genuine Halloween scare.
3. Mark Anderson - 2/5 - As a horror fan, I had high hopes for "Ghostly Halloween Witch Tapping". Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
