On Oct. 29, 30, and 31 of every year, a haunted house lurks on Rosehill Drive. The ‘haunting’ of those deceased, and maybe even those still breathing, stand guard on both sides of the cornstalk-filled path, all due to the obsession one man has with Halloween.

Since Ralph Pukula was five, his father always had their house decorated, becoming an attraction for all ages during the fall time. Today, Pukula continues the tradition from his father which is best known as ‘The Resurrection on Rosehill.’

This display is only up for three days, so missing out would mean missing out on a part of history. There is always a new display, which means that nothing ever stays in the same spot and there’s practically a new addition each year. “When the display is up for more than three days, it loses effect,” said Pukula, explaining why the exhibit is so short lived.

He said, “My favorite part of decorating for Halloween is spending time with my family and friends. I also love seeing the reactions on the children’s faces.”

When October 1st rolls around, there is nothing else on Pukula’s mind other than scare, scare, scare.
