• Caroline Ashley, 41, of Liverpool, England, went all out on her Halloween decorations, installing fake tombstones and human skulls, but the pieces de resistance were the two "body bags" hanging upside down from a tree in front of her home.
But, as Metro News reported, the fun didn't last long: A Liverpool City Council worker stopped by to tell Ashley she would have to remove the body bags because a neighbor had complained.
"It was the quickest the council has come out for anything," Ashley said. "I put them up, and then he was round the following day." But, she conceded, a neighbor may have been "triggered" by the display.
"I don't want to offend anyone. That wasn't the intention," she said.
Ashley said she'll keep the body bags in her garage going forward -- which might be creepier. [Metro News, 10/10/2024]
