Thanks to everyone who submitted photos to Patch’s 'Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge.'
Patch’s first Halloween Costume contest was a big success, thanks to Ardmore-Merion-Wynnewood Patch readers and Patch fans from coast to coast. Nationwide, Patch’s more than 850 local sites received 2,700 entries. It wasn’t easy to pick a single winner, but that winner is Wyckoff Patch’ s Headless Boy Jack Hagan. Disturbing, no? But fun, yes. Here are the 10 top runners-up. Did you take photos on Halloween? The contest is over, but we'd love to share your favorite photos with other Patch readers. You can continue submitting your Halloween photos here.

Ardmore's creepy past has been a well-kept secret for centuries.
Mike Dougherty has been the superintendent for St. Paul's Cemetery for about three years. His duties include keeping up the grounds and restoration work. But the bigger project he has been undertaking has been piecing together almost 250 years of history that is buried beneath the peaceful earth at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery in Ardmore. Dougherty is constantly finding new stories and links to the past through extensive research and, sometimes, happenstance.
