Halloween Legend: Legend of the Pumpkin Head

So you want to hear a story huh? A story of terror, suspense, heart warming justice, and bone chilling revenge?! Well, I believe I have such a tale. Our tale begins in the slums of Chicago on a cold October night. Walking the streets that night was a man known only to all as Blake. Blake was a kind hearted man, someone who would help anyone that needed it. But even this kind hearted individual had a darkness. You see, Blake would become enraged when he saw someone doing injustice. This night was no different. As he walked the streets, the sound of screams came from a distant alley. As Blake arrived at the alley, he witnessed a small gang of men trying to rob a young couple. Enraged, Blake rushed and attacked the gang, distracting them just long enough for the couple to escape. Unfortunately, Blake wasn't so lucky. The men were outraged with Blake stopping there robbery, and made him suffer a fate worse then death. In a ultimate act of awfulness, the severed the young man's head with a machete and in a mocking fashion, took a jack o lantern from a nearby home, and put it on his corpse. They left the body in front of the alley for all to see, and then escaped to parts unknown. It wasn't soon after that passers by contacted the authorities but, mysteriously, when they arrived, the corpse was gone. The young man had no family, so in thankful remembrance, the young couple he had saved payed for his funeral, and spoke of his bravery that fateful night. Blake was deeply missed in the community after that, and it seemed it would be less without him. A year passed until that same night came again, and nothing seemed to change. However, something mysterious happened. The local police dispatcher received a call from a rasby voiced caller. The caller told the dispatcher to send officers to a apartment complex downtown. When the officers arrived, they found a note stuck to the entrance. He only said, "POLICE, ROOM 316". The officers quickly went to room 316 and opened the door. What they found shocked them to thier cores. Four men were inside, all in near death. Two were beaten beyond identification. One was in the corner of the room, pale white, and unable to speak. The last one was hanging out a nearby window. The officers, still recovering from shock, discovered a strange file on the table. The file had information on the men, who turned out to be the same men who murdered the kind man the previous year. The officers then realized who they had in thier presence. As they started to call for support, one found a final note on the television. The note said, " JUSTICE WAS SERVED, I AM AVENGED". And as soon as the officer finished reading, though the static of the television, a jack o lantern appears and then disappears from the scene. The officer never found who found and assaulted the men. However, the community believed it to be the spirit of Blake, returned from the grave to get revenge. However, they don't believe him to be evil, why? Becuase of what the young couple experienced. A few days after the men were found, the young woman, later to be called Jodie, came forward will a strange calm. She says that one night when she when she and her couple were sleeping, they felt they were being watched. When they woke up the next morning, they found a note and a envelope. When they read the note, it simply said, "THANK YOU", and the envelope, contained over five thousand dollars. They didn't know what it meant at first, but later realized who came to them that night. The man who had saved them. It brought them great joy to know he was thankful to them for what they had done for him. But, they also, wondered why his spirit wasn't at rest. The man's community believes that his will to help and protect others was so strong, that it survived his death. They all believe that this " Pumpkin Man" watches over them, mostly becuase this wasn't the first time he's been "sighted" there's been similar instants from October tenth clear til Halloween for the perceding three years. The community has dubbed it, "The Pumpkin Days" or "Blake's Days". Becuase during this time, victims of horrible crimes are avenged, and criminals are found and punished by an unknown Pumpkin headed figure. While it may never be known who or what the mysterious Pumpkin headed figure is, one thing in certain, it watches both the innocent and guilty, and will deliver the proper judgement on both.
