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.”

In a captivating YouTube video, a Romanian man recounts his extraordinary experience of visiting both heaven and hell. He describes seeing “a magnificent gate that perfectly reflected his own body” and realizing “the body decays in the ground while the soul receives a new form.” Guided by angels, he felt weightless in heaven and experienced indescribable joy.
He was shown a record of his wrongdoings but was told, “a place in heaven had been prepared for him and his loved ones.” Encountering his deceased parents, he was advised by the angels to let his father rest. His mother witnessed his spiritual rebirth. The man noted that both Jesus and the angels wore “immaculate white clothing, with hair as white as snow,” without wings, their appearance emanating “a radiant brightness.”
In hell, he saw a tunnel of flames and countless souls pleading for help. A colossal figure of God assured him, “all his sins, as vast as the sands of the sea, were forgiven through the blood of His beloved son, Jesus.” Awakening in a morgue, his wife, expecting to prepare for his funеrаI, was astonished to see him alive.
This story serves as a reminder that salvation and redemption are always possible, encouraging everyone to embrace salvation before the grace period ends.
