Drivers, pedestrians and any local resident with a front door should expect the unexpected today as supernatural and superpower apparitions roam the streets, ring doorbells, tip outhouses and put make-up on cows.

Reports of masked demands for sealed packages of sugar and starch have fallen over the past two years, but authorities are expecting a resurgence of this annual Hallowe'en tradition and warn residents to expect this gruesome bargain: give a treat, or smell some feet.

Shoppers should be prepared for some unfamiliar staff on cash, and not be alarmed to see clowns stocking shelves.

At any given time today half of any line-up might consist of these otherworldly intruders, as will most counter staff and service providers.

Incidents seem to be concentrated from late afternoon until after tonight's sunset at 6:16 p.m. Clouds and light rain are expected all day.

Drivers are asked to take special care on the roads although it is probable these phenomena will materialize in highly visible states.

The Hub wishes everyone a safe Hallowe'en, and hopes all cows and outhouses remain lipstick free and upright.
