The document summarizes a story about why the village of Brampton in England stopped celebrating Halloween. It describes how on Halloween night years ago, a 13-year-old girl named Sally decided to explore the abandoned old mansion of Dr. Smith with her friends, despite local legends surrounding the house. When her friends got scared and left, Sally continued inside alone. She then had a frightening encounter with the ghost of a girl who said she had been murdered by Dr. Smith in the house. The next day, those who went searching for Sally at Dr. Smith's mansion also disappeared, frightening the village. Since then, no one in Brampton has celebrated Halloween.
