As the crisp air settles in and the days grow shorter, the spirit of Halloween awakens, covering the streets with an array of ghosts and goblins. If you want to get in your autumn feels and into the Halloween spirit, stroll down Appleton St., Cambridge, where the leaves are falling and the decorations are out. I did this, and here’s a collection of my favorite moments.
The Wicked Witch(es) of the West speeds across the streets of Cambridge.
Halloween is a time to celebrate a black cat sighting. Especially if you are a cat lady.
Is it a skeleton? Is it a devil? Is it both?
A home that looks like Halloween all year round.
Even scarecrows like to sunbathe.
Remember Poltergeist? Me neither, but this decoration is quite the throwback.
A moment of silence for the residents of this Cambridge neighborhood who are no longer with us.
Residents in this neighborhood can also be found taking long walks on the sidewalk.
Ahoy mateys! What’s scarier than a pirate? A dead pirate!
And, of course, the classic porch pumpkins.
