No, I was actually invisible.  Sorta.

I actually scared the crap out of one woman.  She opened the door, saw
this floating bag begging for candy, screamed, slammed the door, shot
the deadbolt, and ran back into the house.

In her defense, i don't think she was sober.

She calmed down when I showed her how it worked.  I just took my fishing
pole, tied a bag to the end of the line, and stood to the side of the
door holding the pole over it.  4-lb test isn't particularly conspicuous
on a dark Halloween night.
