Scary Kids Halloween Costumes

Posts Tagged ‘real’

The night before “All Souls Day” is the night we know as Halloween.  This is when souls are supposedly in the nether regions, when spirits in the heavens, converge with human souls to celebrate their ghostliness.  On October 31st, whatever you do, don’t go into haunted houses looking for ghosts!

There’s a reason people carve and light Jack lanterns on Halloween -  the hideous pumpkins with their flaming eyes and contorted mouths are supposed to frighten away evil spirits who are trying to target your house to set up home.  At Halloween, the ghostly spirits are supposed to reveal themselves.  In haunted houses, on October 31st, the spirits deliberately come out to cause you fright, for they are supposed to hate Halloween, hate the crowds of adults and kids dressed up in horror Halloween costumes, and hate that other spirits besides themselves are walking around on the earth. Ghosts of haunted houses are, to put it simply, unsociable!

In California,in 1989, in a town called Van Nuys, a paranormal investigation team “photographed” a ghost hanging a man in the attic. It was supposedly hanging him with a rope from a nail stuck in the roof rafters.

In Hollywood, California, George Reeves, the original person who played the part of Superman, is seen often in his old home. People are supposed to have seen him in his Superman uniform, holding a gun. Some say George killed himself, others say he was killed, it’s all quite a mystery.

In Benedict Canyon, California, the famous actress Jean Harlow’s house is thought to have 2 ghosts.  One is Paul Burn, Harlow’s husband, who shot himself, and the other is a dead woman no one knows. Sharon Tate saw Paul’s ghost, and also saw, more chillingly, at the bottom of the stairs, a woman lying in her own blood, her throat slit, just as, years later, Sharon Tate herself would be found.

Further north, again in California, this time in San Jose, people have reported seeing figures in the windows of Winchester house, a house that the widow of the inventor or the Winchester rifle built according to the designs spirits were said to give to her.  These spirits were benevolent spirits intent on keeping the ghosts of the thousands who have died by the Winchester rifle from haunting her.

Although California haunted houses are to be found widespread along its coast, all of the 50 states have haunted houses.

In New Mexico, just north of Santa Fe, at the foot of Black Mesa, is an old hacienda that once housed the government of the Spanish governor, who was a merciless man who readily hanged criminals on the hacienda grounds. Ghosts have been seen there during Halloween including the ghost of the governor’s wife, who was found dead on the staircase. Some have seen ghosts walking on the grounds s well, more than likely the ghosts of men hanged on the hacienda’s gallows in the 1840s, when the cruel governor ruled over the land.

There is a naval station in Kansas that is well known to house the ghost of a pilot who crashed on an airfield there. People reported having seem the pilot actually get out of the crashed airplane, walk to a hanger nearby, yet when they arrived at the plane, they were amazed and stunned to find his body there, dead. Since then, many times people have seen this pilot walking the hangar, others hear
voices, and still others find things moved and changed. Doors open completely on their own. Cups flip over all by themselves. On Halloween, you’re sure to hear voices in corners, and see twisted shadows scampering close to the walls.

While many of these ghosts are benign and have no intention of harming anyone, many others in these haunted houses resent visitors on Halloween night. Some might throw things at you, while others might try to hang you.

So the bottom line is, unless you’re prepared to actually encounter a ghost, stay away from any known haunted houses on Halloween night, when the spirits celebrate their ghostliness.

You should be afraid! Halloween is a truly spooky occasion!
