Originally Posted By Mary Poppins What interesting and scary stories. I don't like bats but I saw one swooping in my backyard last week. I closed my open window in a jiffy! We live beside the country and there is a farm nearby that has a colony of bats in the summer. In the winter, they return to Pitt Lake Caves.

EEWWWWWWW I don't mind bats...from afar. I think they're kinda neat. I'd love to pet one sometime if someone had a pet/friendly one. They're fascinating to look at. Snakes...I'm far more leery of snakes. They just give me the creeps. They may be cool for some but I just have a hard time liking them. Many of them are really beautiful though. But spiders...oh no...no,no,no,no,no! I have a totally justified fear of spiders. And we, too, have a black widow just outside our front door...just under the door ledge. As a kid I was NOT afraid of them and did terrible things to them so I guess that's why I have the fear now. I'm convinced they are going to come back and get their revenge! They make me shudder and give me nightmares!

Witches, you might want to stop on by here if you need any little critters for your potions. The dogs are off limits ;-)
