Halloween is the time for waiting for shrieks and things that go bump in the night. In the South Hills, this is also the season for trick or treaters and parade-goers to hear the unique bagpipe-like sounds of a calliope.
Longtime Mt. Lebanon resident Ed Meyer will once again delight residents at a number of Halloween parties and parades with his handcrafted calliope, which is mounted in the back of a restored 1913 Model-T Ford truck.
You can hear the ''bagpipe'' sounds of the calliope more than two miles away, said Mr. Meyer, who made the piped instrument from a kit some 20 years ago.
As he has done for many years, he will be the Pied Piper for the annual Halloween parade that will set off at 11 a.m. Saturday in Mt. Lebanon.
