Halloween History
Everything from the beginning...
Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets or money. It is celebrated in much of the Western world, though most common in the United States, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, and with increasing popularity in Australia and New Zealand. Halloween originated in Ireland as the pagan Celtic harvest festival, Samhain. Irish, Scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows Day".[1] In Ireland, the name was All Hallows Eve and this name is still used by some older people. Halloween was also sometimes called All Saints' Eve. The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, until it was appropriated by Christian missionaries and given a Christian interpretation. In Mexico November 1st and 2nd are celebrated as the "Dia de Los Muertos" Day of the Dead. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit. In Australia it is sometimes referred to as "mischief night", by locals.
Halloween is sometimes associated with the occult. Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when the spiritual world can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches).

Ghost Stories - Folklore
Scary legends perfect for Halloween
The Brown Lady of Raynham HallThe Brown Lady is famous mostly as being one of the most reliably photographed ghost in history.
Although she has not been seen since 1936, she is
said to wear a long brown dress or cape. No one knows who the Brown
Lady is, or how she is connected to Raynham Hall.
The first sighting was reported in 1835 by a house guest, Colonel
Loftus. He actually viewed her twice. He said she was wearing a
brown satin dress and had only black empty sockets for eyes.
Another sighting was made by Captain Frederick Marryat. He inten-
tionally slept in the "haunted room," but instead caught a glimpse of
the Brown Lady an upstairs hallway. His description was the same as
Loftus', except this time the Brown Lady was carrying a lantern. Mar-
ryat happened to have a gun with him, and fired point-blank at the
figure. The bullets, of course, passed right through the ghost.
The ghost was not reported again until 1926, at which time it was
viewed by two little boys. In 1936, the famous photograph was taken
by photographers Captain Provand and Indre Shira during a shoot for
the magazine -Country Life-. Shira saw the ghost on the stairs, and
instructed Provand to take a picture.
Mary Worth/Bloody Mary
Here is a popular legend which many remember from their childhood.
The Mary Worth (also known as Bloody Mary, Mary Margaret, etc) story
is popular at sleepovers. As the story goes, a beautiful young girl
named Mary Worth was in some sort of terrible accident (or
occasionally the wounds are inflicted purposely by a jealous party),
and her face was hideously deformed. From then on, she is shunned by
other people, and she sometimes becomes a witch.
Now for the scary part. Supposedly if you say Mary Worth's name
three (or five, or ten... it varies) times while looking into the
mirror, Mary Worth will appear and scratch your face off or kill
you. She is exacting a hideous revenge on the undeformed people
who made fun of her in life.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London has a long and bloody history, and of course many
ghostly legends are associated with the Tower. In 1483, two young
princes were murdered in the Tower, and their ghosts were reported to
have haunted the tower until the year 1674, when their bones were
found and buried in a proper ceremony.
The most famous and most often reported ghost in the Tower is
Anne Boleyn. She was beheaded by her husband, Henry VIII, in 1536.
Other Tower ghosts include Sir Walter Raleigh, Guy Fawkes, and even
the apparition of a bear. In 1816, a palace guard who was on duty
spied the bear. Not realizing he was facing an apparition, the guard
attempted to lunge at the creature with his bayonet. The guard repor-
tedly later died of shock.
In 1864, a soldier saw a ghost and again attempted to use his
bayonet. The soldier fainted when he realized his antagonist was a
ghost, and was later court-martialed for neglecting his duties (hard
to guard the castle when you're fainted dead away). However, the
charges against the soldier were dropped when two witnesses came
forward to support the soldier's ghost story.

Although I've never cared much for Halloween, I've always been interested in ghosts - - weird, as the two always seem to go hand-in-hand.
