 To our wonderful authors: TBN thanks each and everyone of you for your time and effort and for making it a fun and spooky day on TBN. TBN encourages each of you to keep on writing. We had some amazing stories and a lot of fun.

 To those of you that submitted stories that were not chosen, stay positive. We had a difficult time trying to determine which stories to put up for the contest. Keep in mind, there will be more essay contests in the future and we welcome your  submissions.

 Now on to the results:
