A good old fashioned Hanging

For those of you who do not ,my family and I have suffered the loss of my Uncle. He was a very important and influential man in our lives. As a result my brothers and I decided to cut loose. This weekend we went to Fright Fest at Six Flags Great Escape In Lake George NY.

The day was going great. We saw an Elvis impersonation show. Which if you know me know that my brother Jeff and I are obsessed with Elvis. My brother Robbie and I rode all the rides that were open,which if you have been to Disney know are terrible and unreeling to say the least.

On our way out we saw a huge crowd gathered for a skit in the main entrance of the park. We had to stop and see. What we saw was horrifying. We saw the skit hanging of a child.

It was supposed to be a reenactment of the Salem Witch Trials. The hangman kept asking the crowd if we should hang this child who was in reality a very petite woman. What made my stomach turn was the crowd cheering this on. They were excited and asking for it.

They put a cloth over her face and a Noose around her neck. She was then hung on cables and she pretended to shake her feet as if she was really dying.

I kept looking at my brothers we all stared in astonishment. With everything that is going on in the news I thought this was highly inappropriate. I can not imagine the thoughts going through the mind of crowds who actually witnessed a hanging. A burning and a hanging to go with the smells. Even though it was a reenactment I was sick to my stomach. The way the people acted like barbarians, I couldn't imagine. There were children around. As a child one does not know the difference between make believe and real. It serves their parents right for having to pay their therapy bills in years to come.

Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween, and I never turn down an opportunity to have fun. This skit is wrong in every way shape and form. Luckily I'm one of the educated to stop this from hopefully happening again. I will never ever go to The Great Escape ever again.
