Hello, foolish mortals. And welcome to my dominion otherwise known as Fangstaff Manor located in Galax, VA. I've always loved Halloween, and yard haunting is a way for me to express my passion. I just started this year with making all my own props. And almost all of them where done by hand. So thank you to all the people on the internet with your how-to ideas, it has really given me alot of inspiration. Alot of my props were my own ideas, however there were a few i got from the internet and put my own touches on. And for being a single mom, i have to say i dont think i did to bad. So if you see anything on here that came from one of your ideas or props just let me know (e-mail)
and i will be more than glad to give credit where credit is due.
 
This site is full of treats as well as tricks. My hope is that you will enjoy our yard haunt,as well as find everything you need to enjoy this haunted holiday. Everything from our own yard haunt to how-to's for the creative imagination,recipes for the ghouls and goblins in your life,
and of course some ghosts stories to make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
 
So enter if you dare!!! and stay for a spell,we're dying to serve you.

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that stoped by our yard haunt,and to those of you that would drive by so slow that you could've stopped traffic. Thats when you know you've done something right. (ha,ha). Not only did it make me feel good to know that people enjoyed it but, it made my girls feel like the coolest kids in the neighborhood.
Speaking of kids in the neighborhood. I owe them an even bigger Thank You!!! for those of you who pitched in with the set up, and who let me use some last minute items. Your help was much apperacated. So thank you very much. Tyler, Austin, Morgan, Rachel, Ethan, and of course Nicole, & Maggie i could'nt have done it without you guys.
