    This breaks my heart, Halloween was my favorite holiday growing up and I loved these kind of events. It sounds like the kid, and some friends, were trying to scare people on a haunted hay ride and accidentally slipped under the tractor. Seems like the kind of innocent little prank that I probably would’ve tried as a kid too.

      Yeah, and I know this will sound odd, but I can’t really bring myself to ‘upvote’ this story. It just seems wrong.

        Ah…the fundamental misconception about upvotes. Try to think of it as bringing more attention to the post, not necessarily agreeing with it or (as in this case) liking it. Hope this helps!

          Absolutely. Many downvotes come because people don’t like the reality of a situation rather than disagree with someone’s perspective. Voting with your emotions is silly.

          Maybe they didn’t want to bring attention to the post because it’s so upsetting to read? Lol
