Deep in Dudkinz Hollow on a cold autumn day nearly 400 years ago, Gobbles Gray had just finished baking a pumpkin pie. As he set the pie on the windowsill to cool, Gobbles noticed something move amongst the trees in the nearby forest.

Being half turkey and half googles, Gobbles was the curious sort. He could not resist going outside to see what was happening. But as he stepped out the door of his creaky little log cabin, a band of wild indians surrounded him and threw him in a sack.

Proud of their catch but puzzled by the creature's appearance, the indians dragged the sack to a nearby pilgrim settlement. As they arrived, it was obvious that the settlers were preparing for a giant feast. The pilgrims called it "Thanksgiving" and invited the indians to join in.

Pleased at the invitation, the indians offered the sack to their new found friends. But the pilgrims were also unsure of what this creature was, so a panel of judges was formed to decide its fate.

Though he committed no crime, Gobbles was placed on trial and found guilty of being both juicy and delicious. As punishment, he was sentenced to be burned at the stake until golden brown, and stuffed with bread crumbs.

After the feast had ended, the people realized that what they had done to Gobbles was wrong. But rather than admit to their mistake, they took an oath to never mention him again. If anyone asked, they would lie and say that they had simply prepared a "turkey" dinner on the first Thanksgiving.

The pilgrims and indians agreed. The creature's bones were collected and thrown back into the sack, to be hidden where no one could ever find them. To this very day, their whereabouts are still unknown.

But the search continues, for you see, the Ghost of Gobbles Gray is said to appear every Thanksgiving in hopes of finding his bones. He roams from house to house, peaking in windows and entering unlocked doors.

Invisible to most humans, you probably won't see him inspecting your dinner plate. But you may feel his breathing against your neck, or hear your pets cry out to him. Just remember he's there, and leave him a nibble of pumpkin pie.
