Introductory
Halloween evolved from the ancient Celtic holiday of
Samhain, but Halloween today is less about the fear of
ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The
Celts, who used the day to mark the end of the harvest
season and the beginning of winter, also believed that the
change of seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead.
They thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside
on this night, so they began wearing masks and costumes to
avoid being recognized as human.
Halloween is celebrated on the last day of October each year.
Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is
associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with
darkness and death. There are many activities during this
celebration that children and adults can enjoy together.
Such events include apple bobbing, which has a person
trying to bite into an apple while it is floating on water. It is
not that easy to do! Some prefer to tell ghost stories around
a campfire or at home. The most important event for children
is to dress up as something scary and knock on doors in the
neighborhood to scream trick-or-treat and hope to get some
candy or chocolate.
In America, many spend the time to decorate their yards and
houses with models of ghosts, zombies, ghouls and carved
pumpkins that have candles in them to look spooky at night.
They are called Jack O’Lanterns. The idea of such lanterns
on Halloween dates back to 18th-century Ireland when a
mean and nasty blacksmith named Jack was denied entry
into heaven. He was so rotten that the devil didn’t want Jack
in hell either - too much competition for him! So, Jack’s

spirit was condemned to wander the earth for eternity. But
one request the devil did grant Jack was to give him
something to light his way. What he got was a burning coal
ember which Jack placed inside a carved-out turnip. Thus,
the tradition of the Jack O’ Lantern was born. To this day,
people in Ireland still carve out turnips and illuminate them
with stumps of candle. They’re then placed in a window or
put on a gate post outside the house. Here in the United
States, the custom was continued by millions of Irish
emigrants who carved out pumpkins because they were a lot
more plentiful than turnips.
Halloween can be pretty scary. There are some that fear the
event. These folks have Samhainophobia, which is a morbid
fear of Halloween. The origin of the term traces back to the
Celtic word Samhain, meaning All Hallows Eve to Christians,
though Samhain predates the introduction of Christianity to
the region it originated in, Northern Ireland, by at least 4000
years. There are other phobias that people may have such
as phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), Wiccaphobia (fear of
witchcraft), or nyctophobia (fear of darkness)? We would
imagine that they too wouldn’t be so thrilled of celebrating
Halloween.
Halloween wasn’t always popular. Trick-or-treating was
brought to America by the Irish and became popular during
the early 20th century, but died out during WWII when
sugar was rationed. After the rationing ended in 1947,
children's magazine "Jack and Jill," the radio program "The
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," and the "Peanuts" comic
strip all helped to re-popularize the tradition of dressing up
in costumes and asking for candy from door-to-door. By
1952, trick-or-treating was hugely popular again.

Halloween, as you know, is celebrated in Ireland and the
United States, yet many countries celebrate a type of
Halloween very similarly. Teng Chieh is a Chinese festival
that honors their deceased loved ones. Lanterns shaped like
dragons and other animals are hung around houses and
streets to help guide the spirits back to their earthly homes.
To honor their deceased loved ones, family members leave
food and water by the portraits of their ancestors. Halloween
celebrations in Hong Kong are known as Yue Lan or the
“Festival of the Hungry Ghosts” during which fires are lit,
and food and gifts are offered to placate potentially angry
ghosts who might be looking for revenge. Los Dias de los
Muertos or the Day of the Dead Festival is a celebration that
honors those from the dead and to help support their
spiritual journey in Mexico.
Yes, Halloween is a celebration that can bring people
together and be enjoyed in many ways. Perhaps one day you
and the family will travel to some of the biggest Halloween
specials in the country. Both Salem, Massachusetts, and
Anoka, Minnesota, are self-proclaimed as the Halloween
capitals of the world. Boston, Massachusetts, holds the
record for the most Jack O’Lanterns lit at once (30,128). The
Village Halloween parade in New York City is the largest
Halloween parade in the United States. The parade includes
50,000 participants and draws over 2 million spectators
each year. Maybe it is time to convince the family to go to
this parade or be in Salem, Massachusetts, Anoka,
Minnesota on this holiday. Halloween is a favorite amongst
children, and you will be surprised how much you can learn
about this event. Don’t hesitate to research and read more
about Halloween in the near future.

Jack and Nina have been lost in the forest for some time.
They have not found a way out of it and grow weary as the
day becomes night. With a clear star-studded sky and a full
moon, the occasional brisk wind hits two teenagers on their
face. Nina walks ever closer to Jack.
“Since it is Halloween, I may as well tell you of an old Irish
folklore told to me by my grandparents when I was but a
small child,” Jack says.
“I rather not. We should try to get out of this dreaded forest
first,” Nina replies.

“While we are trying to figure out how to find home again, I
will keep talking to calm our nerves,” Jack suggests.
Nina only rolls her eyes, rather not hearing some old Irish
ghost story of some kind.
“You see, The Beasts of Tuamgraney is a story that takes
place in a wooded area just outside the town of Tuamgraney
in County Clare during Halloween, also known as Samhain
to some,” Jack explains.

As the two continue through the woods, Jack continues with
the story said to him as a small child during Halloween. “This
tale of terror could be seen as a person witnessing a battle
between good and evil or a simple warning to Irish travelers
to beware of where they choose to wander.
“I think we should have done just that. Be more aware of
where to travel, and we wouldn’t be lost in these forsaken
woods,” Nina replies.

An owl hoots making every hair on Nina’s arms spring up.
Jack doesn’t seem disturbed by the sudden sound and
continues with the story. Around Halloween, the residents of

reason. A young man, either forgetting the stories or being

The howling of wolves can be heard. Nina shrieks and takes
Jacks arms as they continue walking. Jack pays no mind and
continues with the story once told to him. Now, this young
man wandered in among the trees, and a strange sensation
came over him of mixed feelings such as fear and sadness.
He decided as he was carrying a stout stick that he would
forge forward.
Nina thinks the story is about them, as she listens to Jack’s
story. Although she doesn’t particularly want to hear a
haunted tale, it does soothe her to know that she isn’t alone
while Jack confidently tries to find home again.

The sounds of owls and the howling of wolves stop. Crickets
are chirping and the occasional brisk wind blows among the
few leaves left on the trees on this autumn night. Jack
continues with the story. Unable to rid himself of this feeling
he almost turned back when he noticed that the trees
seemed thicker and he could not find the path home. His
imagination started to run wild with images of those times
of cruel, bloody sacrifices and rituals, stopping still he felt
the omnipotent silence surround him. Gone was the
beautiful autumn day. Not a ray of sunshine could break
through the suffocating trees nor could he hear the birds
singing to one another.

Nina always liked Jack, but she is not happy that he got her
lost in the woods on this day. She can’t entirely blame him.
After all, she did want to see him today in hopes to get just
one kiss. Jack stops for a moment on the trail and then thinks.
How was that story…oh yes, as he continues with it?
Suddenly a movement in the bushes caught his eye seeing a
huge black dog he thought that it must be a stray wandering
far from home until it turned to face him. The dog stared at
him with large glowing red eyes before disappearing.

Not a single person is walking on this trail. Why would
anyone this late at night want to anyway Nina thinks as she
continues to listen to Jack’s story. Turning around the man’s
heart nearly took flight when he saw that large dog and now
a large hare that jumps in front of him, which had an
expression of malevolence equal to the dogs glare out of its
evil red eyes. It too bounded off amongst the dense dark
foliage.

The forest trees seem to get thicker the deeper the two
teenagers travel. Jack all the while unfazed at the situation
continues walking ahead leading Nina deeper into the woods
and telling the story once said to him.
Fear now coursed through the man’s veins as a cat leaped
into view its coat like freshly spun straw its back arched,
revealing its fangs and hissed as its red eyes brimming with
malice starred straight at the man before it retreated silently
into the shadows.
Which of the following is not true?

A few wild rabbits jump across the trail into other bushes as
Nina screams and Jack jumps. He then looks at Nina and
says, “Don’t be afraid. I think we just walked in a circle. I will
remember how to get out of this vast forest eventually. Just
listen to my story, and the trip won’t seem so long,” he
suggests. He then continues with the story. Terrified beyond
reason the man would have fled back the way he had come
seeing all those animals with red glowing eyes, but the
ground seemed to spin and rise, so he ran blindly forward
through the ever-enclosing trees.
Nina feels the story is made up by Jack, as the situation, in
reality, grows of being lost in the woods. After all, she too
feels like screaming and running blindly in one direction in
hopes to find a home.

B. Scottish, turn to 62.

E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 120.

11
What seems to be four glowing eyes on two old oak trees, is
actually a few firebugs landing softly on the barks of the trees
instead. Nina’s skin continues to crawl while Jack continues
to stay calm in such dark hours. He then proceeds. As the
man ran out of angst he then stops abruptly, he realized it
was in a clearing, and with the coming dusk it appeared
darker than the forest had been but through the murkiness,
he could see two figures.

Further down what seems an eternity a deer pops his head
out from behind some bushes before trotting off for safety.
Jack continues with the story. The man that had already seen
too much now looks at a black ram with evil red eyes wearing
large razor-sharp horns. The other figure is an ordinary deer.

Nina thinks about wolves suddenly, as she remembers seeing
that deer behind the bushes earlier. Where deer are wolves
could appear. She holds Jack’s arm ever closer as he tells the
story that she wishes would have a faster ending. Jack
continues. The man watches both the ram and the deer. They
appeared to be caught in a struggle, a battle for life and
death. Wounded and battle weary the deer fell to its knees,
it looked towards the man and cries for help in its tear
stained eyes.

“That man needs to help that deer,” says Nina. Jack smiles
as he continues with the story finally satisfied that Nina isn’t
paying attention to the dangers in the woods but more about
the story. The man suddenly felt courage replace the fear in
his heart so screaming and brandishing his stick he rushed
the ram in an attempt to beat it away.

turn to 137.
E. Cut the answers in half, turn to 112.

15
Nina listens attentively to Jack’s story as they continue down
the trail in the forest. The man’s blows in an attempt to save
the deer met with nothing but air as the ram seemed to be
made out of mist but when in turn the ram buffeted the man
he too fell to the ground winded and in pain.

“How is that possible?” Nina asks curiously, as she listens to
the story Jack is telling. The man pounded by the ghostly
ram blacked out from so much pain. Regaining his
conscience many hours later, the man found the scene he
was in deserted and the trees not so dense anymore. He felt
as though he had imagined the whole event, but as he got to
his feet, he realized that the pain he endured in the fight
with the ram was real enough.

“I don’t believe in ghosts, but I am starting to believe in them
now if we don’t get out of this forest soon,” Nina says. Jack
only chuckles. “The story is about to end so keep listening,”
he continues. The man wearily and in pain makes it back
home. He retells the whole story as though it were a dream
to his old uncle who then confirms that others too had
stumbled into one of the beasts of Tuamgraney forest. He
warns never to enter it again, especially around Halloween.
“Now, I think I know where we are Nina,” Jack says, as he
smiles. Nina, however, doesn’t smile…not liking the haunted
ghost story or the situation she is in.

“I know you would have rather went to the Halloween ball,

see a tree stub that they remember seeing when they first
enter the forest thus knowing they are heading back to

looks at Nina’s eyes.
“Do not worry. I am here for you,” Jack says all the while
smiling.
Nina only blushes and urges Jack to walk faster towards the
house.

As they approach the house, Jack who is a half a foot taller
stoops down to kiss Nina on her soft lips.
“Thank you for coming. It meant a lot to me.
“Does this mean we are now dating?” Nina says blushing and
enjoying the sudden kiss.
“Yes, I would hope so! The only problem is will our parents
approve?” Jack asks laughing and hugging Nina closer
towards him.
“Well at least we have this night together,” Nina replies.
“Happy Halloween!” Jacks expresses with joy.

from him for such a long time.

The Roman Empire had ruled the Celtic nations for 400
years and added their festivals. The first was Feralia, a day
in late October when the Romans traditionally
commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a
day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees.
The symbol of Pomona is the apple, and the incorporation of
this celebration into Samhain probably explains the

Halloween.

The Roman Empire had ruled the Celtic nations for 400
years and added their festivals. The first was Feralia, a day
in late October when the Romans traditionally
commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a

this celebration into Samhain probably explains the

More about Halloween
The Celts believed that the passage of a day began with
darkness and progressed into the light. The same notion
explains why Winter – the season of long, nights – marked
the beginning of the year and proceeded into the lighter days
of Spring, Summer, and Autumn. So, the 1st of November,
Samhain, was the Celtic New Year, and the celebrations
began at sunset of the day before its Eve.
During the 8th century, the Catholic Church designated
the first day of November as All Saints Day - all Hallows.
Thus, All Hallows Eve became Hallowe'en. At the reunion at
All Hallows, when the sheep and cattle were brought back
from the summer pastures, fires were lit to mark the end of
the period of growth and to herald the new year. The
Hallowe'en fire was used long ago to supply light and to
rekindle the domestic fire. The crops would have been
harvested and the turf saved by then.
Today's trick-or-treating tradition mainly developed from
soul parades that took place on Halloween in England. Poor
people would beg from door to door, asking for food or money
in exchange for praying for souls to be delivered from
purgatory. Eventually, children took over the tradition, and
people began baking sweet soul cakes to give to the young
revelers. In the United States, trick-or-treating didn't
become widely popular until the 1940s, when communities
sought wholesome Halloween activities to discourage kids
from vandalism and another mischief.

Quotes on Halloween
Halloweens is an opportunity to be really creative - Judy
Gold
It's said that All Hallows' Eve is one of the nights when the
veil between the worlds is thin - and whether you believe in
such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in
you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that
it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on
Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright. - Erin Morgenstern
Many cultures believe that on a certain day - Halloween, the
Irish Samhain Eve, Mexico's 'Dia de los Muertos' - the veil
between this world and the next is especially thin. - Michael
Dirda
Never let your kids buy an off-the-shelf Halloween costume.
Forbid it, no matter how close you may be to the witching
hour. Instead, help them make their own. Encourage them
to use their imaginations and their ingenuity. Show them
that what can be created is often better than what can be
bought. And besides, don't the darkest, most frightening
things live inside us anyway? - Joe Kita
There is a child in every one of us who is still a trick-ortreater
looking for a brightly-lit front porch. - Robert Brault
