My mother dealt with terrible asthma in her youth. She could not enjoy outdoor activities and was plagued by wheezing and coughing whenever she participated in them. Therefore, Halloween was a misadventure for her. While her friends ran from door to door and screamed and shouted, Patti was forced to remain indoors. But, my grandmother just would not stand to have her daughter unhappy! She created a haunted house just for her. But what was just a game for my Mom and her family became a local legend and one of the first haunted houses in Indianapolis.
