Halloween rock |
Lauren claims the when she picked up the rock she became unconscious and it showed her images of the past and left a strange scar on her palm. "When I woke up my son was standing over me." "I picked him up and carried him inside."
"Mama said that the monsters were going to come and get me," says Lauren's son, Jimmy. "She said that I couldn't go out for Halloween and if I complained she would let the monsters get me."
Lauren believed that her vision was a message from god that she should get Halloween banned. So, she rushed down to city hall and demanded the mayor ban Halloween that weekend.
"I think she's a loony and histrionic, but she bakes some damn good cookies for city-hall meetings, so I listened." Soon enough, Lauren had convinced the mayor to ban Halloween, and he signed a law banning Halloween from the city.
Friends and family of Lauren say she usually spends her time going to Republican rallies and tending to plants. Although they were unable to comment more, a neighbor of Lauren was able to say this. "Ya, she pretty much spends all day in her garden, and when she does come out she talks to herself...a lot."
The rock is now being held under careful examination in case it decides to talk to someone else.
