GILBERT, Ariz. — There's something strange in Gilbert... A bone-chilling sight haunts the streets, but don't jump out of your skin! This 12-foot-tall skeleton and his owner are all about having a happy Halloween!
Gilbert resident Jennifer Papp set up her bone-headed passenger for the spooky season, and they've been turning heads all month.
"I am a fanatic, I love Halloween," Jennifer told us. "My house is transformed! Anytime I can sneak some Halloween into my life, I do so."
Fortunately, the skeleton hasn't scared people off.

Skeletons stalk the streets of Gilbert
"It's joyful! People are smiling and thumbs up and waving and honking. And I have a playlist that I play and I just like to laugh to myself."
Hits like "Staying Alive," "Thriller," and "Tha Crossroads" are some of Jennifer's recommendations for the bone-rattling drive.
Now, we can't tell you the skeleton's name but some of our keen readers can probably hazard a guess. We'll give you a hint: It's a Growing Pains reference!
So if you see him out on the streets, give him a wave!
"If you see him around, say hi, smile and you know, have a good day," Jennifer said.
