"This incident took place around 20 years ago in Lincolnshire, England, where I live," writes Helen. "A friend of mine, who lived some miles away, came to stay for the weekend with her kids. The eldest at the time was about five years old or so. This friend had joined a Christian church and talked about it constantly. At the time, I had a drawer full of Unexplained magazines in my upstairs bedroom, which my friend did not approve of. Later in the day, I went upstairs to put something in the bedroom and found that I couldn't open the door...." Why? You'll have to read the rest of Helen's peculiar story to find out.

There's a penetrating chill in the wind. The bright moon rises behind the shivering, nearly naked trees. A profound sense of foreboding permeates the darkness. This is the night, after all, when witches ride their broomsticks through the sky, and the natural world is forced to confront the powers of the supernatural. No, it isn't October 31 and this is not Halloween. It's April 30 and it's Walpurgis Night.
