The House That Kicked Up Its Hooves On Halloween — David Healey

In this short story, the cast and crew of Delmarva Renovators has returned to the historic waterfront town of Chesapeake City on Maryland's Eastern Shore, this time to judge a Halloween pumpkin carving contest and renovate one of the town's smallest houses. But a murder soon intervenes, and it's up to producer Tom Martell to solve the mystery using clues from a Civil War sword and the ghost of a mule that once pulled barges through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
