Get the latest with Havenport Herald's very own gossip queen, Candy Apples.

Not real ghosts, don't be silly people! Halloween is right around the corner and folks are gearing up for the annual Halloween ball at Havencroft Manor. I know I have my costume all picked out, how about you? Lets hope Mrs. X can come up with something new this year, she almost split the seams of her Naughty Nurse costume last year. Yikes!

The Witching Hour will soon be upon us--anyone think Havencroft Manor's most famous dearly departed will stop by for a visit? Such a haunting tale of love and betrayal makes this gossip columnist stand up and take notice. Keep reading, and we'll take a stroll down memory lane to find out all the juicy details.

The room above Serendipity is open for business. Looks like they kicked off rentals with a séance on behalf of our favorite philanthropist. Rumor has it, he has a ghost problem. Some say he's trying to get rid of the problem, while others are convinced he's trying to bring The Ghost of You back to life. With the Goddess's help, I guess anything's possible.

Sorry, ladies, but looks like our hunky veterinarian may be off the market soon. A certain divorcee was hired to spruce up his bachelor pad, but from the look of things, my money's on them turning it into a family home instead. Should be cozy with their latest rescue dog and the soldier's spirit that tagged along. So long as A Spirit's Bond doesn't stand in their way, should be fun to watch.

They say the new widow in town has a way with ghosts. In fact, one may have followed her into town. To help or hinder? Hard to tell. Maybe the ruggedly handsome carpenter fixing up Havencroft Manor will find a way to help out a Kindred Spirit.

Come to think of it, maybe I spoke too soon about those ghosts.Don't forget to stock up on candy and have a Happy Halloween!
