October. The harvest is in, fresh cider steams on the woodstove, and Jack-O'-Lanterns flicker out grins on the front porch. The lights seem dimmer.

It's time for some scary stories.

Scary ministry stories, that is, and we want you to tell them. (You define "scary": Unexplainable? Legitimately frightening? That moment that you realized you weren't a Calvinist and your lead pastor was?)

Tell that scariest tale in all it's spooky glory in the comments below.

While we may edit for length, we won't edit for terror, and we'll reprint the best ones here on Halloween.
