I have been meaning to post about this every October since I have been putting my mundane thoughts on the web some 15 Halloweens ago. As Halloween nears lots of listicles are coming out now with things to read, watch, wear. eat, and numerous other verbs. Most of them are being generated by Ai scraped out and plopped in your feed like so much pumpkin guts…or brains… When the pumpkin becomes a head the guts become brains…Anywho, this isn’t about pumpkin innards; it’s about a mysterious beast in Scotland (not that one) and a curse.
