Posted: 31st Oct 2001
i'm considering going outside and spinning some glo sticks around for the trick-or-treaters.. thought maybe the younger kids might get a kick out of it... or they might just take the sticks from me and make me look amateur.

Being one of those witchy pagan people, ghosts are part of normal life to me....and I could bore you for hours about local ghost stories. However, being Samhain, the night when the veil is the thinnest and a full moon is very powerful indeed....people might have encounters without hunting for them!(OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhh)All I can say is have fun and careful what you hunt for...it might be hunting you instead!(mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Superman, You're lucky I'm not going. Because, as I stated in a post a while ago, I'm a unintentional ghostbuster. Wierd stuff just refuses to happen around me.One time I even killed a bunch of people and buried them in my basement to see if they'd come back to haunt me. Nope. No ghosts. Just Cops. Lots and lots of cops.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Im wondering how many people and how big halloween is in the UK, cause the tradition actually started with Irish Celts and the Catholic Church.....

It's not as commercial here as it is in the states. But it's getting that way. And we get loads of Americanisms creeping over here and noone seems to notice.I've never really bothered celebrating it. But some folks go all out.Trick or treating has a far more malevolent edge here too. There's a lot more emphasis on the trick element than on the treat. Kids tend to dress in horror costumes rather than any costume they can find. Not so many clowns and shit here. Although you get scary clowns....But here we have Guy Fawkes Day in 5 days so we have loads of fireworks and bonfires for that and the 2 festies intermerge...------------------C@ntus

17 miles from civilisation Angie? Sounds fun. If you've got a stereo I'm yours. I feel the need to shatter some tranquility.And the idea of Lab4 and OS1 filling the highland air whilst I spin on some desolate shore sounds very appealing to me right now.

Happy Samhain to you too GFM...long time no hear.Actually the Samhain traditions started long before the Catholics ever hit the isle, but they were more infamous afterwards. And many of the modernized traditions have a strong root in the history...everything gets bastardized over time! :sigh:So, Super...did you find anything? Did anything find you? I'd have to check on that pick it up and leave it. Normally they are either stuck to you or to a place, not really picked up and dropped like a bag of carrots but I am sure there is a spell for everything...even if I am answering late!We scared the shit out of some neighborhood kids (inadvertantly actually), went and begged for candy, left some treats on the porch for the "others". Nothing really happened except the same ole creaky-freaky antics of our household ghost. Anyone watch those shows where the families and friends and such go into the "haunted" places to spend a night. I watched a bunch of those this week and laughed while my hair stood up on the back of my neck!We did drive past a historic cemetery and my son said he saw a ghost...it was funny...I think it was his mask reflecting in the car glass! Does that count?------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...https://www.pyromorph.com

Man Halloween night was a bust...We didnt get to go out during the full moon. I went the next night and bumped around this allegedly Huanted graveyard about 10 minutes from where i lived. Its not too big only about 40 plots. I walked around for about 20 minutes. I usually wouldnt do it alone but i had this itch i had to scatch, and all my buddies are pussies.I hung out and saw nothing. I think i hit a cold spot, and i got a feeling of uneasyness there towards the end. When i get a feeling like that out of nowhere, its usually my sign to leave. Its almost like "Spidey sense"You get that chill on your neck, and have this overwhelming sense of ....well...the feeling something is there with bad intentions. I have felt it twice now. And i didnt like it so i left. Im going to go back with someone to see if it was just nerves, or if it was legitimate.NYC- if things are attracted to you, id love to head out into a graveyard with you to see what you draw in. I want to be really frightened. Hollywood does nothing for meThere are very few things that actually scare me.Mortal man strikes no fear in me, for what can he do to me, that i cannot do to him?But have a spirit which i cannot see push me down....now that is scary...."S"
