Halloween is here—a time when neighborhoods transform with spooky decorations, from haunted houses and ghostly figures to skeletons and creepy graveyards. For many, Halloween is all about embracing scares and dark humor before the cheerful holiday season arrives. Yet, one Halloween enthusiast showed that even in a season of frights, there’s room for kindness and empathy.
Salena Webb, a mother of four from South Carolina, is a devoted Halloween fan. Like many, she eagerly decorates her yard each year, creating an elaborate graveyard scene complete with skeletons, spiderwebs, pumpkins, and a witch, along with tombstones and a casket carried by skeletons. Her Halloween display took hours to set up, and she was proud of the spooky, immersive effect it created. But when a neighbor came to her with a personal request, Salena put compassion above Halloween spirit.
