There was a tomb-like quality to a carnival after dark, a sense of stillness, and emptiness that seemed to echo with the ghosts of the day's visitors. Evidence of figures now faded to the phantoms of memory lay scattered across the trampled grass in the form of discarded drinks, half eaten food, and advertisements for adult entertainment smeared with mud from the passage of hundreds of feet through rain soaked earth. A cool breeze rattled the still bare branches of the trees shrouding the clearing in darkness, leaning in like wary sentinels expecting an attack. All the place needed was a hooded figure, bathed in moonlight and gliding, eerily smoothly, towards some unknown destination, and it would have been fit to be counted among the classic films of the horror genre.
Just after midnight, the clouds flew apart, the moon shone cold and bright across the fairgrounds, and, seemingly out of nowhere, the ghostly figure appeared.
