Scar-r-ry…ver-r-ry scar-r-ry. Interesting. I wrote a poem Poltergeist this Hallowe’en as well…based on a true experience I had. My Hallowe’en poem here on Triond is entitled Hallowe’en Hootenanny.

I love your stories Tanya. You have a unique talent. I am starting to enjoy horror stories but I’m not scared. I enjoy the art side of it, how well it’s crafted.

The origins of Halloween go all the way back to 2,000 years ago, to the Celtic Celebration of the Dead, or Samhain, in what is now Ireland, the UK, and Northern France. The Celtic Festival took place each year on the eve of November first, which marked the end of summer and harvest season, and the beginning of their New Year and winter, a time associated with cold and death.
The Celts believed that on October 31st, the last day of summer and New Year’s Eve, the boundaries between the living and the dead became blurred..and spirits, both good and evil, roamed about on the streets and countryside and did as they wished. The Celts were especially frightened by the prospect of these evil souls harming the crops.
On this night, Celtic priests called Druids dressed in animal masks and skins and performed sacrifices to placate the gods and “ward off” spirits. Bonfires represented the sun, the power to fight dark forces. The Druids lit huge bonfires and burned animals, crops, and sometimes even humans. In fact, the word “bonfire” comes from “bonefire,” literally!
Poetry like this can really enhance the spookiness of Halloween..and the pictures completed this piece nicely Mystify
