Halloween Hash in Utrecht...

On Halloween, the Amsterdam Hash gathered in Utrecht for a special trail. Opee was in Switzerland, so I went alone dressed as a pirate. Hare Robb, the creepy angel, had previously worked as a tour guide for a company that gave historical walking tours. Not only did he lay a great trail, but we had many spooky story stops which were awesome.

He took us into parts of the historic center that I didn’t know existed.

This photo turned out especially eerie as at this particular spot Robb told us the true story of a murder that took place in that house. Supposedly the ghost can still be heard (although all we heard was the loud tolling of the church bells), but instead it looks like she tried to make an appearance in our photo.

There was also some scary stories about how people used to fall while climbing a rope up Dom Tower, the Netherland’s tallest church tower, built in 1382. I still haven’t managed to climb the tower, but definitely plan to take the stairs when I do.
