A Halloween decoration hanging in the window of a North Dakota home is so scary that it prompted calls from concerned neighbors and at least one plea for police assistance.
The sign reading ‘Help Me,’ which appears to be written in blood, is part of Becky Muhs’ display for her favorite holiday at her West Fargo home.
Muhs and her husband began getting messages from neighbors over the weekend asking if they were OK, and one neighbor even dialed 911, leading to a visit from a police officer.
This sign reading ‘Help Me,’ which appears to be written in blood, is part of Becky Muhs’ display for her favorite holiday at her North Dakota home. One neighbor even called 911
Her neighbor talked about why was concerned to local station WDAY.
‘I look across the street and I see in my neighbor’s window, the sign that says help me,’ Jay Thomas said. ‘That window has always had the curtains drawn. So I’m like, “what’s going on in here?”‘
She then told WDAY that Thomas spoke to her after he’d called 911
Muhs has loved Halloween since childhood, and in addition to celebrating her wedding anniversary on Halloween her birthday is October 29
When neighbor’s called 911, the window was the only one of her now many Halloween decorations that was up
‘I didn’t answer and 15 minutes later, he’s like, “are you okay are you okay, are you at home.” And then I said, “what?” He said, “a sign, you have a sign on your window, help me.”‘
Muhs says Halloween has always been her favorite holiday since childhood, and it’s also her wedding anniversary.
Her birthday is October 29.
They had only started with the family Halloween decorating, so the Help Me sign was the only thing on display when the concern arose.
Muhs says the incident ended in a laugh and that the responding police officer didn’t ask her to take the sign down.
