~ Scary Halloween ~

‘Twas the night of nights!
“All Hallows Eve”

The midnight screeching of owls
could be heard warning of Grave Robbing & noises
that go bump in the night and of heinous atrocities!

‘Twas the boundary between the Living & the Dead
when the Ghosts of the dead returned to ravage the living!

The peasantry often wore costumes some consisting of animal heads & skins to ward off and appease the evil Ghosts and to accept the cold approaching winter weather.

Young women dressed up as saints or she devils
and often would try to cast spells on unmarried men
with the intentions of getting married in the future ~ Oh! Those scheming unscrupulous women! Lol

People wore Halloween masks not to be recognized by any encountered ghosts! Breaking glass & stepping on cracks or spilling salt brought seven years of bad luck!

One had to fear black cats on Halloween as they were
instruments of witches bringing bad luck to all that the cats crossed their paths with ~

Beware the Red-headed witch riding on her broom-stick! Dressed up in a Leopardess costume flaunting her bodice and shooting cupid’s bow! She will take you to her castle in the sky! You have been warned ~

“Happy Halloween”
