Halloween is upon us. Tonight I will be telling at a wedding, where the bride wanted some spooky stories, and asked me to come up with one about the venue. I will record that one at some point, but in the meantime, here is a story I always bring out at Halloween, or at other times when people want their spines tingled. It is an old Arabic folktale, which I found in a book of stories from Iraq.
