Passengers traveling from Florida to New York this weekend were in for a spooky surprise, though it turned out there was no need to panic.

One passenger, Amanda Goncalves,told CNNthat the crew members avoided explaining where the mist was coming from, despite waiting on the tarmac for 30 minutes before taking off.

“The flight attendants didn’t really make an announcement, they just said that they were practicing for their Halloween haunted house, and kind of made a joke of it instead of saying like it was from the humidity or condensation,” Goncalves said.

“I have never seen it that thick before,” said Alan Yurman, a retired national transportation safety board investigator, to CNN.

“When the air conditioning system is turned on, and you’ve got cold air meeting whatever temperature the cabin was, [it results in] condensation,” Yurman said.

“I’m not a nervous flyer, per se — neither were the people I was with, thank God — but I think if you are somebody who is already anxious to get on a flight, and you didn’t necessarily know, I think it could have really caused some more insecurities with flying,” a passenger toldCBS station WLNY.

“And then they were saying get ready for take off, and it could have definitely caused some anxiety for some people,” they continued.
