SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – About 40 witches took a lunch break together in Santa Barbara and they even let a few warlocks join them on Friday to celebrate Halloween. Not everything about the gathering was revealed and probing questions were rejected.
Artist Patricia Chidlaw and her friends first started getting dressed up and doing this over 20 years ago.They chose Andersen’s Danish Bakery and Restaurant on State Street downtown and they got plenty of looks for the first meal.Then they let the idea slide for awhile, before deciding to do a revival.
Chidlaw said, “and then we forgot all about it until a few years later I was remembering that was a great idea. Let’s restart the luncheon. I think the idea is that we are supposed to be getting ready for the evening.”
We asked where the evening would take them, but were told that answer was a dark secret in the witch community.Many of the witches have come back annually, but this year a few new ones flew in.They had brooms, and trendy hair colors beyond the traditional black attire.The lunch is open to any willing witch or warlock in case you are interested in attending next year.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – A fatal traffic collision on northbound U.S. Route 101 at the on-ramp for Castillo Street in Santa Barbara occurred early Saturday morning, according to incident logs from the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The incident, identified in CHP records, was logged at approximately 6:41 a.m., with closure of all northbound lanes reported prior to 10:30 a.m.
According to the dispatch information, the crash involved a white van and a white sedan. The sedan reportedly left the roadway, overturned, and came to rest off the right shoulder in bushes. Debris was reported in the travel lanes. Traffic was diverted at the Bath Street off-ramp during the closure while responders conducted investigations and lane clearance. Details in the log show that by 10:29 a.m. all lanes had been reopened.
At this time, further specifics—including the number of fatalities, identities of the involved parties, and factors contributing to the crash—have not been released publicly. The CHP’s official incident page lists the collision as a fatality at the referenced location and time.
Commute delays were significant for travelers heading north on US 101 at Castillo Street. Drivers were advised to use alternative routes or allow for extra time during the morning closure period. The CHP asks anyone with information regarding the crash to contact their regional traffic division.
