Our fourth annual Halloween Costume Contest.

PARANORMAL PHENOMENA's countdown to Halloween 2012 begins with our fourth annual costume contest. You have a chance to win some cool paranormal books by sending in a photo of yourself, friend or family member (with their permission, of course) in a Halloween costume -- from this year or any year -- that has a paranormal theme.

Here are the rules:

  1. The photo must be of you, a friend or family member dressed in a Halloween costume that is paranormal in theme -- for example, a ghost, monster, demon, alien, etc. I don't want a costume like a can of tomato soup, for instance; as clever as it might be, it's not paranormal.
  2. If the photo is of anyone other than you (a friend or family member), you must obtain their permission to submit it.
  3. You must be the owner of the photo, or obtain permission from the owner to submit it.
  4. You may submit up to 3 photos.
  5. The costumes may be for this year or any previous Halloween.
  6. Please identify what the costume is; it's not always obvious.
  7. By submitting the photo(s), you are agreeing to allow me to post the photo(s) on this website.
  8. You may identify the person or people in the photo if you wish, but it is not necessary.
  9. The deadline for submitting the photos is Friday, October 26, 2012.

I will be the judge of the contest and will post the received photos and the winner on Halloween.

Send your photos to me at: paranormal@aboutguide.com

Good luck... and Happy Halloween!
