I'm 23 years old and in my last year of study at the University of Wisconsin. In mid-October of 2005, I noticed a small flyer inside a cafe advertising a Halloween carnival in Rose Creek Park, three miles or so outside the Milwaukee city limits. My friends and I were looking for something to do on Halloween night, so we decided to go to the carnival for some cheap thrills. There were three of us that night, me and my friends Darcy Crew and Jack Lear. We were all pre-med students at the university. We had a few beers at my apartment on campus, and then we set out for the carnival. But we wound up not getting there till almost 10 o'clock. Some of the lights had been turned off in the park, and there weren't that many people milling around anymore. There was a haunted house for small kids, another one for more mature kids, and a haunted trail leading off into the woods. The trail was what had made me want to come to the carnival, because I knew Rose Creek Park went so far and so deep into the woods that it was guaranteed to be creepy, even though all it would certainly be was a bunch of fake tombstones and lurching zombies and vampires that leapt on cue from behind trees. But it looked like we were too late for the haunted house and the trail. We bought some cider, and no new hay trucks came to take us down it, and no one else had gotten into line. It was about 10.15 when one of the employees of the carnival told us it was pretty much over already, which meant Halloween itself was done. We were disappointed, but not too terribly so. We started discussing where we should go to drink. The spooky sound effect CD that had been playing over some loudspeakers stopped, and it seemed like everyone was just about gone. It was very dark in the park by then. The lights had been dimmed all over. Speaker 3 (6:58) just as we were about to leave for good. A horse-drawn carriage came clanking up to us from across the field in front of the woods. The carriage was driven by a tall man in a top hat.
