It’s spooky season—a time for fun, scares, and a bit of darkness. During this time of year, we expect to see creepy decorations everywhere. It’s not yet time for the cheerful holiday season.
However, just because Halloween is near doesn’t mean we can’t show kindness. One Halloween fan shared this message in a TikTok video that has since gone viral.
Salena Webb loves Halloween. She is a mother of four from South Carolina, and like many others, she celebrates by decorating her yard with Halloween items. Salena created a whole graveyard scene in her front yard, complete with ghosts, spiderwebs, pumpkins, a witch, tombstones, and skeletons carrying a casket. It took a lot of time to set up the display. But when her neighbor came to ask her to take it down, she agreed.
Her neighbor asked her to remove some decorations to make things easier for his elderly father.
Salena shared the moment her neighbor visited her to make the request in a TikTok video. In the video, the neighbor explains, “Hey, I know you’re celebrating Halloween. My dad just got diagnosed with lung cancer. He thinks the decorations are a bit scary.” He then points to the graveyard scene and asks, “Would you mind taking just the casket out?”
Salena felt sympathetic right away. Since her neighbor’s dad often spends time in his garage, which faces her yard, she understood why removing the casket was important. “I didn’t want to be a reminder of what could happen if he doesn’t beat cancer,” she told Insider. “I didn’t want to add stress to someone else’s life.”
Salena removed the casket and gave the skeletons badminton rackets instead. She moved the more scary decorations to her backyard. “I was a little sad at first,” Salena wrote in her TikTok caption, “But I realized that taking away the casket wouldn’t hurt me, but it might help my neighbor feel better as he deals with this news. Kindness is free, and compassion goes a long way.”
Many people praised Salena for her kindness. She posted the video and asked her followers what they would have done in her situation. While some said they wouldn’t have taken down their decorations, many praised Salena for her compassion.
“Now this is what being a good neighbor is all about. Kindness doesn’t cost anything. Thank you!” one user commented.
Another person wrote, “This was beautifully handled. The world needs more people like you! God bless you!”
Salena’s neighbor also appreciated her gesture. After she took down the casket, she brought him a card and some balloons. Even though there was a language barrier between them, she could tell he was thankful. He told her, “You’re good people.”
Millionaire Shows Up at Fiancée’s Door Dressed as Homeless Man—What Happened Next Is Shocking
Richard Grey was a remarkable young man. Even though his parents were very rich, he stayed humble and kind. His caring nature helped him meet his fiancée. However, things didn’t turn out as expected when Richard decided to test her by pretending to be a homeless man at her door.
The Grey family was known for their wealth. Some people believed they were so rich they could buy all the houses in Beverly Hills. Their family’s wealth and status went back to the 1700s. Many family members came and went, but they kept their high position.
Richard was the only child of his parents, Franco and Leah Grey. The couple had waited many years to have him. As expected, they spent their fortune and effort raising Richard to be one of the finest gentlemen.
Richard Grey was a remarkable young man. Even though his parents were very rich, he stayed humble and kind. His caring nature helped him meet his fiancée. However, things didn’t turn out as expected when Richard decided to test her by pretending to be a homeless man at her door.
The Grey family was known for their wealth. Some people believed they were so rich they could buy all the houses in Beverly Hills. Their family’s wealth and status went back to the 1700s. Many family members came and went, but they kept their high position.
Richard was the only child of his parents, Franco and Leah Grey. The couple had waited many years to have him. As expected, they spent their fortune and effort raising Richard to be one of the finest gentlemen.
He made people happy, and his parents were proud of their perfect son. They were excited that one day he would manage their family estate. But they were also worried about his future.
Franco and Leah wanted grandchildren. Leah especially wanted Richard to find a wife and have kids. She would call future grandchildren her “tiny soldiers” and couldn’t wait to see them.
Leah once challenged Franco, who asked her to stop pressuring their son. “You might die before me, Franco, and you don’t care that you might never see his baby?” she asked.
Franco calmly replied, “I want grandkids too, but he needs time. Finding love isn’t easy these days.”
Leah was not convinced. “People get married every day, Franco! He hasn’t even started thinking about it,” she said.
Franco’s words didn’t stop Leah from bringing up the subject with Richie every time she saw him. He would say, “Mom, I’m trying to find the right girl. It’s hard to know who loves you for real.”
Richard was right. His wealth made it difficult to find a genuine woman. He wanted someone committed, compassionate, and not interested in his money. He didn’t want a one-sided relationship.
While Richard had high standards for a partner, he was also willing to improve himself for the right woman. He dreamed of finding his Cinderella, the one who would make his heart race.
No one knew when it would happen, not even Richard. But soon enough, he met Marlene, a beautiful woman with a model-like figure. Richard was captivated by her looks and intelligence.
Richard worked hard to win Marlene’s heart. She wasn’t easily impressed, but eventually, he swept her off her feet. At least, that’s how she described falling in love with him.
After dating for a few months, Richard proposed with a grand gesture, and Marlene said yes. She proudly wore a large engagement ring, and they moved in together.
Richard supported Marlene, who claimed to raise money for orphanages. This warmed his heart, and he believed she was perfect for him.
He even sponsored her fundraising efforts and introduced her to his wealthy friends. But their love story took a turn when Richard decided to test Marlene.
One day, while organizing his garage, Richard saw Marlene rudely turn away an old homeless man who knocked on their door. She treated him harshly, which shocked Richard.
Later, Richard called the orphanage Marlene said she helped. To his surprise, they had never heard of her.
Richard hired a private investigator named Sarah. He wanted to know more about Marlene before marrying her. What he found out was disappointing, but he wasn’t ready to give up.
Sarah discovered that Marlene was a scam artist. She raised money under false pretenses and never helped any charity. She was only interested in herself.
Still, Richard decided to test her again. He disguised himself as a beggar, wearing heavy makeup to hide his identity.
When Marlene saw the disguised Richard at the door, she angrily yelled at him to leave, calling him disgusting and refusing to give him food or water.

A few days later, Richard returned in his disguise. But this time, he wiped off the makeup and confronted Marlene, revealing his true identity.
“I know all about you, Marlene. I’m guessing that’s not even your real name,” Richard said angrily.
Marlene was shocked and tried to explain. “I’m so sorry, Richard. It’s not what you think!” she stammered.
But Richard had heard enough. He grabbed her arm and told her to leave his house and his life.
Soon after, Marlene was arrested. A few months later, Richard started dating Sarah, the investigator. This time, he took things slowly and enjoyed the dating phase.
Leah, though a bit reluctant, finally stopped pressuring her son about marriage. But now, she would occasionally ask Sarah when she would propose to Richard.
