Monday’s Memories: Halloween Haunts

Yes, readers, it’s that time of year again when I share the Halloween Haunts video filmed at Bacon’s Castle.  It appears that I first posted about this back in 2011. For those of you who are new to the blog, here’s the background info:

In 2007, just in time for Halloween, our local PBS station, WHRO,  planned a series of video vignettes about supposedly haunted places in the Hampton Roads area.

The folks from WHRO visited Bacon’s Castle and decided that a video about the “Castle Light” would be part of the series.  The video would be just a few minutes in length, and would air with other videos in one of two thirty-minute shows.

Guess who they chose to play the male lead?

Marshall!

I was proud of him for taking part in this. He made several friends at the tv station and learned a bit about the “film business”.  (Although the Castle Light wasn’t depicted in the video quite as we had always heard it described.) Prior to Halloween Haunts airing on tv, Marshall was invited to a private showing and reception at the WHRO studios in Norfolk. Motor Man and I went as his guests.

Of all the stories, pictures and events involving my family and Bacon’s Castle, the two most special, by far, are my wedding to Motor Man that took place there, and Marshall appearing in this video.

Below is the link to Halloween Haunts-Bacon’s Castle. Many of you who have seen this in the past may opt to skip it, and that’s fine.  But rest assured, this proud Mama will be watching it again.

It’s always fun to continue my Halloween tradition of sharing this video.
