Beryllium, Pantomime, hum
Hum, da, dumb, da, dumb, da, dumb, dumb

Beryllium, Pantomime, hum
Hum, da, dumb, da, dumb, da, dumb, dumb
 
Geology, astronomy Crypto-zoology
Telling ghost stories when it’s not halloween
The kids on the street say that Sheila’s so mean (WHAT?!)
She likes to lick rocks and also ice cream (YUM!)

Pantomime hotcakes for everyone
Pantomime hotcakes for everyone
Pantomime hotcakes for everyone
You can’t have them until they're done (Get it?!)
	
Beryllium, Pantomime, hum
Hum, da, dumb, da, dumb, da, dumb, dumb

Beryllium, Pantomime, hum
Hum, da, dumb, da, dumb, da, dumb, dumb
 
We have a fan and his name is Hank,
I don’t know why but you can take it to the bank (Cha-Ching!)
Aloicious, Sheila and Jimmie are back (WHY?)
Murder hornets, Bigfoot and Springheeled Jack

Bluebullet to the Rescue - Huzzah! - interview with author Dr. Drew Palacio

<description>On this episode we share two original stories, written by the winners of the Independence High School scary story contest.  These stories are not for young ears, they are for brave souls who like their stories to simmer slowly (recommend ages 8+). The first, read by author Nathan, is titled, "Plastic Eye" a story that will chill you cold. Next you'll hear a haunting tale by Graham titled, "The Singing Bay".  This story will creep up on you, humming like the fog.  

Nathan (Senior) and Graham (Sophmore) are this year's winners of Independence High School's scary story contest, held by librarian Stephanie Ehrick.  Independence High is located in Glendale, Arizona.  

Special thanks to Mark Peña, Independence High School educator and haunted house builder.  

May haunting tales surround you this Halloween.  Happy Halloween from all of us at Buttons &amp; Figs.
