The Fright Catalog Halloween Contest has closed. Thanks for entering. I’d like to congratulate Lisa H. of Indianapolis, Twana Gilles of Oklahoma City and Melissa of Michigan.

In the spirit of Halloween and to show my appreciation to all my visitors for their great support, I’m giving away three Fright Catalog gift cards (valued at $25 each). The Fright Catalog has been a part of my Halloween experience since 1995 (back then they were called Halloween Outlet) and it’s become a tradition to purchase something spooky or scary from their company almost every year since. So this year, instead of buying something for my haunt, I decided to pick up some Halloween items I could pass on to others.

The cards can’t be redeemed on the Fright Catalog website; they must be redeemed over the phone (they have very friendly customer service reps). Each card will include a Fright Catalog to help make your redeeming experience much easier. I’m also throwing in a S.O.S bumper sticker with each prize package.

All my best to everyone!

Please, only one entry per household. Duplicate entries from the same IP will be deleted. This helps to make it fairer for everyone. There’s no catch here, everything is free- including payment of shipping and handling- I cover all costs. And, I will do everything in my power to make certain you receive the cards and be able to use them before Halloween. To be entered, all you have to do is leave a spooky comment (or anything you like) below, signifying your interest.

Comment entries will not be displayed under this post after moderation, because of the anticipated volume of entries. I guarantee all legitimate comments will be entered. Edit 9/9/08: I’ve changed my mind about showing entries. Everyone that’s entered has been awesome about leaving such cool comments. I’m going to allow the comments as to provide links back to everyone’s Halloween sites (if they have one). As the entries grow, however, I may still remove them.

When leaving a comment, be sure to include your correct email address. The winners of this Fright Catalog Halloween Contest will be contacted through the address that’s registered with their comment. I will never share email addresses, provided by entrants, with any third parties and you’ll never receive unsolicited mail when entering.

The Fright Catalog Halloween Contest will end at 11:59 pm (Eastern Time) on October 8th, 2008. All legitimate entries will then be assigned a number. Three numbers will be randomly drawn to determine the winners of the Fright Catalog cards.

All three winners will then be notified, via the email addresses they provided, no later than October 9th. If one, or all three don’t respond (with their shipping information) within a week, then one (two or three) more number(s) will be drawn to determine the new winner(s). It’s my goal to get these out prior to Halloween, so the winners can redeem them and hopefully receive their order, from Fright Catalog, before October 31st.

This giveaway has closed. I would like to congratulate all three of the winners: Brian M. of Pennsylvania, Alecia G. of Minnesota and my third winner who wishes to remain anonymous.

Welcome to the seventh Giveaways of Spirit installment. Jason, Grant and the rest of the Ghost Hunters gang are back for another appearance! The prizes for this contest are three DVD box sets of Ghost Hunters - Season 2 - Part 2 to be given to three winners. Each set contains the last eleven episodes from the second Ghost Hunters’ season.

The guidelines for entering have changed. This time around, I’m looking for your real life spooky encounters with ghosts. Please see the guidelines section (below) for further details.

Here’s a summary from the second half of Ghost Hunters Season 2:

“Season 2 of Ghost Hunters contained just too many bone-chilling spine-tingling jaw-dropping investigations for just one DVD collection! Part 2 brings 11 more episodes packed with 19 ‘leave no stone unturned’ investigations. Will their searches turn up evidence of a haunting or debunk claims of paranormal activity? Join Jason, Grant and the dedicated members of the TAPS team as they attempt to bring peace of mind to those who claim to be experiencing hauntings; all while trying to avoid getting spooked themselves!”

I wish everyone the best and look forward to contacting the winners!
