Creepiest Halloween Ever

In stark contrast to four years of Halloween in Madison, WI, Ben and I spent the holiday in a place with a spookier history. We drove all day through Germany's "Castle Road" and hiked around old castle ruins. We made camp after sunset at a campground located about 50 yards from a 1100 year old church, complete with a graveyard. We spent the evening walking around downtown Rothenburg, a fortified city that we learned later has a long history of public executions in it's main square. To top off the night, the drive back to the tent was horribly foggy; I couldn't see 15 feet in front of the car. We tucked ourselves in for a freezing (literally) night, and hoped that the spirits wouldn't disturb us.
