Fifty Years of Halloween
I've often thought of rounding up all the Halloween entries
from my journal just for my personal enjoyment. This site gives me a better excuse, so here they are.
The reader may wish to skip ahead to the grownup entries which begin in 1975. There is sexy material but I took
out all the heavy Triple X Rated stuff.

Halloween Journal Entries
1952
Halloween. David Tanner breaks the Six Faceted Lantern
with a rock. I retain the shards to this day.
1953
Halloween. Pa paints my skeleton costume with phosphorus.
1956
Halloween Week. Decorate backyard with corn stalks and
pumpkins.
1959
Halloween. Hide in leaf pile out front so as to frighten
Martha Macaulay. "Buttons" fools me and never shows.
1961
Halloween. Smash neighbor Tom McNealy's pumpkin. He is the heavyweight boxer, who lost to Ingemar
Johannson, who in turn, lost to Sonny Liston. Glad Tom doesn't catch me.
1962
October. Aid David MacTavish and others in the accumulation
of pumpkins behind gas station in Dover.
1963
Halloween. Raise particular Hell with the police this year. A well organized effort sees pumpkins
and swans from some estate on Farm Street, in the courtyard at the Regional H S the next morning. Picture of this appears
later in 1964 Yearbook.
1975
Samhain Eve. Perform first formal Ritual of Lust for
Mickey Woods [beautiful skinny blonde Witch from Brockton] N 0 OYN.
November. Mickey takes me to the Nile Restaurant. In the back room the prefigured lust is actualized.
1977
October 30. Beth visits with two other Witches. This
also preceded by a month of celibacy for me. Lunch served by me. Stark and solemn precession on the Elvin Road. I am naked.
The eighteen year old blonde Britt with her smooth ultra-white skin is naked walking ahead of me swishing her exquisite
shapely buttocks unmercifully to tease me. She looks back occasionally with a deliciously wicked smile. Beth and Rachel are
robed in blue-green. Naked activity in the pine grove. Eve. Dinner. Fire ritual with many hours of naked activity. Hearty
breakfast next morning. They leave c. Noon. I am exhausted and rest for two days. I later come to think of this episode affectionately
as the HBTT Working - Hubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble - because of the Three Witches involved. Years later when the movie
Witches of Eastwick comes out I am reminded of this, especially by the three hair colors involved, which I requested
of Beth. Perhaps there is some ancient precedent here which I am merely fulfilling.
Note: Episode keeps me singing to myself
like a happy little boy for three weeks despite bad residual soreness. Atrium 2 CW.
1978
Oct 28 Britt and Rachel visits for two days with stylish 18 year old Gretchen VanRoon who inflames
me immediately. Samhain Ritual.
1980
Samhain Lust Ritual for Venus [Next time I see her she agrees to sleep with me].
1981
Samhain. Salem. One of the most intense experiences of my life. One month celibacy precedes this.
Spend all day without relief in close attendance to Beth. This to increase my libidinous energy. c Midnight serve as "Dionysian
Altar" in Samhain Ritual performed by her with twelve other Witches ranging in desirability from moderately cute to ultra-nice.
At first only I am naked, but long before the climax all the women are too. Feel very privileged to be selected for this and
want to do it every year from here on. [Hope to host this event in the pine grove with sleep-over on shag rugs in my kitchen.
Turns out unfortunately to be the first and last time. In November Beth tells me simply "All men once before any man twice."
Reminds me of what I once said to Valerie Sherman about the climbing of mountains].
1982
Oct 30 Salem. Morn. All are present. Unanimous decisions
surrounding today's creation of the TRS mark the most significant milestone to date. The things that will come from this
cannot even now be measured. Even though certain activities will begin soon, the official founding will not occur until October
31, 2006 or later. This will happen somewhere in the West, and will require a good deal of map study by me. Visit Essex Institute.
Gardner-Pingree House. John Ward House. Sexy tour girl at Crowninshield-Bentley House. Lunch East India Mall. See Laurie Cabot
and friend. Horribles Parade at Old Town Hall. See Laurie again. Salem Ghosts. Witch Dungeon. Talk with one of the actresses.
Pierce-Nichols House. Assembly House. Rope's Mansion. Witch House too crowded. Beer at Salem Marketplace. House of Seven Gables
too crowded. Beer at Victoria Station. Herb shop. Crowhaven Corner. No naked Sabbat for me tonight. Visit Rachel briefly.
Dinner at Marketplace. Drink Witch's Brew. Make it to Bewitching Ball [Hampton Hall] but leave after five minutes. Very little
memory from here on. Lying on lawn. Nearly Full Moon rising through mist, assuring some gent I am all right [Awaken with him
bending over me in vampire costume]. Walking in a bad part of town on cobblestone streets. Careening against fence post in
front of Essex Institute.
1983
Oct 29 After first appointment with Dr. Dobrin arrive c 11:30 AM in Salem. Tour Witch House.
Lunch at Lobster Shanty. Because I am not assertive enough about ordering a cheeseburger quickly, I miss the parade by five
minutes. Haunted House is too busy. See two beautiful Witches at Crowhaven Corner. Visit Britt for only a brief interlude.
Tour Peabody Museum. Seek Haunted Schooner. Have a beer at Victoria Station. Visit the House of Seven Gables [See Genealogy
of RCP for involvement of my uncle Nicholas Noyes in the Salem Witch Trials and the influence of this on Nathaniel Hawthorne's
story]. Tour Salem Maritime. Change into tuxedo and cape at Peabody. Hear group Witch play on steps of Old Towne Hall. Am
approached and insulted very hatefully by Christian Bigot who resembles [and no doubt is] a Skid Row bum. Enjoy lobster at
Shanty and talk with intelligent well traveled chap from Boston. As I return to car to get ticket one member of a gang of
thugs just misses me with a huge bat. As I walk up Chestnut Street am accosted four times by insulting Christian bigots dressed
and groomed very shabbily. One screams "Jesus Christ! It's Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!" After following me for about two blocks
and repeating and repeating this eighty to a hundred times, I inform him that he is violating my right to privacy but he goes
right on "Jesus, Man! It's Jesus Christ, Man! Jesus Christ died for you, Man! Jesus loves you' Man!" This about twenty more
times. I then give him one last warning and launch a half-hearted side kick to his stomach. Being very athletic and about
nineteen years old he sidesteps and the follow through causes me to nearly lose my footing. He disappears and I continue my
quest for Hamilton Hall [Owed by Harvard University, the ballroom floor is suspended by giant springs. Use of this place is
booked ahead five years]. When I arrive there is a crowd of fanatical Christian bigots accosting guests as they enter. One
of them comes into the lobby and tries to convert the policeman on duty who acquiesces because she uses sexual tactics. Once
upstairs many humorous costumes are seen: big guy in drag, two bees, an alien, a carrot, a large rabbit, with a large Playboy
Bunny, a nun doing the dirty boogie. Many impressive costumes: Tar-Tar, Eva Gabor, gangster and his lady, 1930s children,
male + female Death, Countess, girl resembling Venus as Mick Jagger type Fu Manchu, Witch resembling Linda somewhat, Christopher
Columbus, Wizard, army officer. Also seen are a rather vulnerable girl reminding me of Jean Fuller and a disarming beauty
who is vaguely reminiscent of Shirley McLean at her sexiest and who I find intimidating. Talk briefly with girl dressed as
Zorro and with flapper who is very glamorous and effervescently happy. An unlikely Dracula wins the prize and is announced
by media people [He wins an all expense paid trip to Transylvania]. I fell saturated and yet sober and leave c 11:15. Leave
gas cap on bumper at self service station and stop well down the road to find it amazingly still on the bumper.

potpourris then a drink at Pickering Wharf. Catch Trolley back to Market, see torture pins at Courthouse. Visit Rachel and
Gretchen. The three of us have a quick episode. I can't get either of them to go to the Ball. Come back and change into tux.
Drinks at Lobster Shanty where Carol too shoots me down. Run into the brunette after seeing the Haunted House. Return to Shanty
where I savor lobster pie, baked potato, and peas. Talk of many things with two young laborers who inform me of Miami, New
York, Ogunquit Maine, and massage parlors on Route 1. We are joined by a chap with a very sexy, friendly girl who has laughing
mischievous eyes like Joyce. Time passes and about ninety minutes into the Ball I sell my tickets at cost to the laborers.
As we walk out they decide to dress as trees and begin defoliating the Market area [they are very drunk]. As I walk ahead
to check out the Ball I see the police apprehending one of them so I head down to Boston arriving at Bradford c11:00 PM. [As
I enter the Naked Eye a wino bows extravagantly to me bellowing "Good Evening, Sir"]. Am back on speaking terms with Gisele
after a good tease. Enjoy Dorrie dancing to "Season of the Witch" after she insults black/white faced avant guard type hippie.

is a choice of beers. He is strangely outdrinking me three beers to my first and keeps running to the men's room probably
to snort cocaine, which he reports puts his mind upstairs while his penis is in the cellar. I wonder what he'll do the night
he experiences his testicles frozen in a block of ice locked securely in a banded steel box high in a gray stone tower under
a full moon in the Tibetan Himalayas with 1000 Buddhist Sherpa monks crowding the base solemnly chanting "let it be." This
will be the night he suffers brain damage. A "lifestyle thing." Eee-yuh. When that day comes I'm going to razz the pants right
off him addressing him "Hey, Brain Damage." Visit Naked. Enjoy seeing the wild woolly baby with her shaved pussy. Talk to
Eva who says of Felix the Cat "He's the greatest." Am "put to the torment" by girl resembling Miss Deegan. Still no Katy.

Waltham where I tour greenhouses. Then over to Gore Place for the full tour. Spacious, but Castle on the Green is fancier.
