Introductory<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> evolved from the ancient Celtic holiday of<br />
Samhain, but <strong>Halloween</strong> today is less about the fear of<br />
ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The<br />
Celts, who used the day to mark the end of the harvest<br />
seas<strong>on</strong> and the beginning of winter, also believed that the<br />
change of seas<strong>on</strong>s was a bridge to the world of the dead.<br />
They thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside<br />
<strong>on</strong> this night, so they began wearing masks and costumes to<br />
avoid being recognized as human.<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> is celebrated <strong>on</strong> the last day of October each year.<br />
Orange and black are <strong>Halloween</strong> colors because orange is<br />
associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with<br />
darkness and death. There are many activities during this<br />
celebrati<strong>on</strong> that children and adults can enjoy together.<br />
Such events include apple bobbing, which has a pers<strong>on</strong><br />
trying to bite into an apple while it is floating <strong>on</strong> water. It is<br />
not that easy to do! Some prefer to tell ghost stories around<br />
a campfire or at home. The most important event for children<br />
is to dress up as something scary and knock <strong>on</strong> doors in the<br />
neighborhood to scream trick-or-treat and hope to get some<br />
candy or chocolate.<br />
In America, many spend the time to decorate their yards and<br />
houses with models of ghosts, zombies, ghouls and carved<br />
pumpkins that have candles in them to look spooky at night.<br />
They are called Jack O’Lanterns. The idea of such lanterns<br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>Halloween</strong> dates back to 18th-century Ireland when a<br />
mean and nasty blacksmith named Jack was denied entry<br />
into heaven. He was so rotten that the devil didn’t want Jack<br />
in hell either - too much competiti<strong>on</strong> for him! So, Jack’s
spirit was c<strong>on</strong>demned to wander the earth for eternity. But<br />
<strong>on</strong>e request the devil did grant Jack was to give him<br />
something to light his way. What he got was a burning coal<br />
ember which Jack placed inside a carved-out turnip. Thus,<br />
the traditi<strong>on</strong> of the Jack O’ Lantern was born. To this day,<br />
people in Ireland still carve out turnips and illuminate them<br />
with stumps of candle. They’re then placed in a window or<br />
put <strong>on</strong> a gate post outside the house. Here in the United<br />
States, the custom was c<strong>on</strong>tinued by milli<strong>on</strong>s of Irish<br />
emigrants who carved out pumpkins because they were a lot<br />
more plentiful than turnips.<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> can be pretty scary. There are some that fear the<br />
event. These folks have Samhainophobia, which is a morbid<br />
fear of <strong>Halloween</strong>. The origin of the term traces back to the<br />
Celtic word Samhain, meaning All Hallows Eve to Christians,<br />
though Samhain predates the introducti<strong>on</strong> of Christianity to<br />
the regi<strong>on</strong> it originated in, Northern Ireland, by at least 4000<br />
years. There are other phobias that people may have such<br />
as phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), Wiccaphobia (fear of<br />
witchcraft), or nyctophobia (fear of darkness)? We would<br />
imagine that they too wouldn’t be so thrilled of celebrating<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong>.<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> wasn’t always popular. Trick-or-treating was<br />
brought to America by the Irish and became popular during<br />
the early 20th century, but died out during WWII when<br />
sugar was rati<strong>on</strong>ed. After the rati<strong>on</strong>ing ended in 1947,<br />
children's magazine "Jack and Jill," the radio program "The<br />
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," and the "Peanuts" comic<br />
strip all helped to re-popularize the traditi<strong>on</strong> of dressing up<br />
in costumes and asking for candy from door-to-door. By<br />
1952, trick-or-treating was hugely popular again.
<strong>Halloween</strong>, as you know, is celebrated in Ireland and the<br />
United States, yet many countries celebrate a type of<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> very similarly. Teng Chieh is a Chinese festival<br />
that h<strong>on</strong>ors their deceased loved <strong>on</strong>es. Lanterns shaped like<br />
drag<strong>on</strong>s and other animals are hung around houses and<br />
streets to help guide the spirits back to their earthly homes.<br />
To h<strong>on</strong>or their deceased loved <strong>on</strong>es, family members leave<br />
food and water by the portraits of their ancestors. <strong>Halloween</strong><br />
celebrati<strong>on</strong>s in H<strong>on</strong>g K<strong>on</strong>g are known as Yue Lan or the<br />
“Festival of the Hungry Ghosts” during which fires are lit,<br />
and food and gifts are offered to placate potentially angry<br />
ghosts who might be looking for revenge. Los Dias de los<br />
Muertos or the Day of the Dead Festival is a celebrati<strong>on</strong> that<br />
h<strong>on</strong>ors those from the dead and to help support their<br />
spiritual journey in Mexico.<br />
Yes, <strong>Halloween</strong> is a celebrati<strong>on</strong> that can bring people<br />
together and be enjoyed in many ways. Perhaps <strong>on</strong>e day you<br />
and the family will travel to some of the biggest <strong>Halloween</strong><br />
specials in the country. Both Salem, Massachusetts, and<br />
Anoka, Minnesota, are self-proclaimed as the <strong>Halloween</strong><br />
capitals of the world. Bost<strong>on</strong>, Massachusetts, holds the<br />
record for the most Jack O’Lanterns lit at <strong>on</strong>ce (30,128). The<br />
Village <strong>Halloween</strong> parade in New York City is the largest<br />
<strong>Halloween</strong> parade in the United States. The parade includes<br />
50,000 participants and draws over 2 milli<strong>on</strong> spectators<br />
each year. Maybe it is time to c<strong>on</strong>vince the family to go to<br />
this parade or be in Salem, Massachusetts, Anoka,<br />
Minnesota <strong>on</strong> this holiday. <strong>Halloween</strong> is a favorite am<strong>on</strong>gst<br />
children, and you will be surprised how much you can learn<br />
about this event. D<strong>on</strong>’t hesitate to research and read more<br />
about <strong>Halloween</strong> in the near future.

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

“While we are trying to figure out how to find home again, I<br />

Nina <strong>on</strong>ly rolls her eyes, rather not hearing some old Irish<br />
ghost story of some kind.<br />
“You see, The Beasts of Tuamgraney is a story that takes<br />

As the two c<strong>on</strong>tinue through the woods, Jack c<strong>on</strong>tinues with<br />
the story said to him as a small child during <strong>Halloween</strong>. “This<br />
tale of terror could be seen as a pers<strong>on</strong> witnessing a battle<br />
between good and evil or a simple warning to Irish travelers<br />
to beware of where they choose to wander.<br />
“I think we should have d<strong>on</strong>e just that. Be more aware of<br />
where to travel, and we wouldn’t be lost in these forsaken<br />

Jack doesn’t seem disturbed by the sudden sound and<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinues with the story. Around <strong>Halloween</strong>, the residents of<br />
Tuamgraney avoid a certain wooded hollow and with good<br />

The howling of wolves can be heard. Nina shrieks and takes<br />
Jacks arms as they c<strong>on</strong>tinue walking. Jack pays no mind and<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinues with the story <strong>on</strong>ce told to him. Now, this young<br />
man wandered in am<strong>on</strong>g the trees, and a strange sensati<strong>on</strong><br />
came over him of mixed feelings such as fear and sadness.<br />
He decided as he was carrying a stout stick that he would<br />
forge forward.<br />
Nina thinks the story is about them, as she listens to Jack’s<br />
story. Although she doesn’t particularly want to hear a<br />
haunted tale, it does soothe her to know that she isn’t al<strong>on</strong>e<br />
while Jack c<strong>on</strong>fidently tries to find home again.<br />

The sounds of owls and the howling of wolves stop. Crickets<br />
are chirping and the occasi<strong>on</strong>al brisk wind blows am<strong>on</strong>g the<br />
few leaves left <strong>on</strong> the trees <strong>on</strong> this autumn night. Jack<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinues with the story. Unable to rid himself of this feeling<br />
he almost turned back when he noticed that the trees<br />
seemed thicker and he could not find the path home. His<br />
imaginati<strong>on</strong> started to run wild with images of those times<br />
of cruel, bloody sacrifices and rituals, stopping still he felt<br />
the omnipotent silence surround him. G<strong>on</strong>e was the<br />
beautiful autumn day. Not a ray of sunshine could break<br />
through the suffocating trees nor could he hear the birds<br />
singing to <strong>on</strong>e another.<br />
Which of the following is incorrect?<br />

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

Not a single pers<strong>on</strong> is walking <strong>on</strong> this trail. Why would<br />
any<strong>on</strong>e this late at night want to anyway Nina thinks as she<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinues to listen to Jack’s story. Turning around the man’s<br />
heart nearly took flight when he saw that large dog and now<br />
a large hare that jumps in fr<strong>on</strong>t of him, which had an<br />
expressi<strong>on</strong> of malevolence equal to the dogs glare out of its<br />
evil red eyes. It too bounded off am<strong>on</strong>gst the dense dark<br />
foliage.<br />

The forest trees seem to get thicker the deeper the two<br />
teenagers travel. Jack all the while unfazed at the situati<strong>on</strong><br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinues walking ahead leading Nina deeper into the woods<br />
and telling the story <strong>on</strong>ce said to him.<br />
Fear now coursed through the man’s veins as a cat leaped<br />
into view its coat like freshly spun straw its back arched,<br />
revealing its fangs and hissed as its red eyes brimming with<br />
malice starred straight at the man before it retreated silently<br />
into the shadows.<br />

A few wild rabbits jump across the trail into other bushes as<br />
Nina screams and Jack jumps. He then looks at Nina and<br />
says, “D<strong>on</strong>’t be afraid. I think we just walked in a circle. I will<br />
remember how to get out of this vast forest eventually. Just<br />
listen to my story, and the trip w<strong>on</strong>’t seem so l<strong>on</strong>g,” he<br />
suggests. He then c<strong>on</strong>tinues with the story. Terrified bey<strong>on</strong>d<br />
reas<strong>on</strong> the man would have fled back the way he had come<br />
seeing all those animals with red glowing eyes, but the<br />
ground seemed to spin and rise, so he ran blindly forward<br />
through the ever-enclosing trees.<br />
Nina feels the story is made up by Jack, as the situati<strong>on</strong>, in<br />
reality, grows of being lost in the woods. After all, she too<br />
feels like screaming and running blindly in <strong>on</strong>e directi<strong>on</strong> in<br />
hopes to find a home.<br />

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

Further down what seems an eternity a deer pops his head<br />
out from behind some bushes before trotting off for safety.<br />
Jack c<strong>on</strong>tinues with the story. The man that had already seen<br />
too much now looks at a black ram with evil red eyes wearing<br />

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

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

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

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

“I d<strong>on</strong>’t believe in ghosts, but I am starting to believe in them<br />
now if we d<strong>on</strong>’t get out of this forest so<strong>on</strong>,” Nina says. Jack<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly chuckles. “The story is about to end so keep listening,”<br />
he c<strong>on</strong>tinues. The man wearily and in pain makes it back<br />
home. He retells the whole story as though it were a dream<br />
to his old uncle who then c<strong>on</strong>firms that others too had<br />
stumbled into <strong>on</strong>e of the beasts of Tuamgraney forest. He<br />
warns never to enter it again, especially around <strong>Halloween</strong>.<br />
“Now, I think I know where we are Nina,” Jack says, as he<br />
smiles. Nina, however, doesn’t smile…not liking the haunted<br />

“I think we shouldn’t go out in forests anymore and<br />
especially <strong>on</strong> <strong>Halloween</strong>,” Nina suggests.<br />
“I know you would have rather went to the <strong>Halloween</strong> ball,<br />
but I brought you here <strong>on</strong> purpose,” Jack replies.<br />
The forest starts to look similar to Jack and Nina, and they<br />
see a tree stub that they remember seeing when they first<br />
enter the forest thus knowing they are heading back to<br />

stoops down to kiss Nina <strong>on</strong> her soft lips.<br />
“Thank you for coming. It meant a lot to me.<br />
“Does this mean we are now dating?” Nina says blushing and<br />

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

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