It's good to be reminded that the origins of Halloween are far removed from the commercial manifestation today. In Celtic culture it's called Samhain; the feis or feast day when the door to the other world opens to let the souls of the dead pass through. I like your idea that we the haunted may soon become those who haunt.

Zesty slice of wickedness in here. The picture is a captivating thing. Just the word nightmare is pretty horrible, especially for people who regularly have them. ~~ DIana

Thanks for the history lesson. I was wondering where all that strange behavior came from. There is always send historical reasons for the rituals we find so amusing and timeless.

A wonderful "witchie" tale told well. Also, thanks for the background on All Hallows Eve, I had never heard it before. Your poem tells an interesting tale that absorbed my senses. Good write.
