        Creatures Spotted on Madison Avenue

      Halloween in Pasadena -  2014

      Creatures of all kinds descended on Madison Avenue in Pasadena on Friday night.

      Halloween on Madison Ave. - 2014Madison spilled into Oakland and El Molino as residents tried to appease the creatures by handing out delicacies.

      What started as a fun evening, turned into more fun as lots of candy was handed out by residents -and friends who were recruited to help fend off the invasion- while little goblins kept collecting all the candy they can get.

      Then it rained…and every Goblin, Witch and Hero took shelter under a tree or a porch, and eventually found a safe way home.

      Our cameras were there and documented the evening. Rumor has it that the little goblins may come back next year, at the same time, same bat channel.
