Halloween Brings Out The Ghosts And Goblins
It's getting close to that time of year again...All Hallows Eve. Halloween is the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows Day. There has been much controversy over this holiday and I don't plan on getting into that discussion. What I love about Halloween is all the horror shows, movies, and ghost stories that erupt everywhere. I mean, ghosts can creep about any time of the year, but let's face it, there's something even scarier about telling a ghost story during Halloween.
There are those that believe in ghosts, or as some would call them, spirits or apparitions. There are those that do not. Why is it then, when there's a movie or a book about ghosts, or other creatures that go bump in the night, that makes us a believer? I think it has to do with our imaginations. We don't want to believe in ghosts, or vampires, or the walking dead, but we can't help ourselves. I think we can all agree there's nothing better than a good ghost story. Whether it be in a book or a movie. If it's done right, it will pull us right in and by the time we're finished, we start to question ourselves as to whether there is such a thing as ghosts.
There are many who have experienced some sort of paranormal situation. Whether seeing a spirit or hearing something that they just can't explain. I have watched many ghost investigator shows and would sit at the edge of my seat when I witnessed a chair rocking and nobody was there. I know people can explain away these incidents, but I think it has to do with the way our brains are wired. We have a need to understand why something that we can't explain happened.
Some find comfort in knowing that their loved ones who have passed may be around them from the other side. I, for one, do believe there are ghosts or spirits hanging around. After all, there has been proof of paranormal activity recorded from many ghost investigative groups and societies. Either way, I take comfort in that fact.
So if you're like me and you love how the Halloween season brings about it the many scary aspects of ghosts and goblins, then pick up a good book or find a horror film, sit back with the popcorn...and a flashlight, and be prepared to scare the wits out of yourself.
