When I was a boy, each year as the nights began to draw in, my uncle John would tell we kids this Halloween story. It was a tale about a trick that he played in a graveyard. One night Uncle John spotted his great friend Eddie weaving his way home from the village pub. As John watched, he saw Eddie open the church's gate and take the shortcut through the graveyard.

There was no doubt that Eddie was the worse for wear, and appeared disoriented, really he should have taken the longer route home via the round ring. But then he cried out to nobody in particular, 'Where am I? '

John replied instantly, 'Amongst the living'.

'Where are you? ' cried Eddie'; to which John replied in his most sepulchral voice, 'Amongst the dead'.

Eddie sobered up instantly, rushed back the way he came, and took the long way around the churchyard. This time he preferring to go passed the round ring, rather than stay a minute longer amongst the spirits of the gravestones.
