Halloween has always been my favorite day of the year. It is the day that the world between the living and the dead is thinned. However, there are always ghosts around. There are many haunted places all across the world that have spirits in need of help crossing over. Ghost Hunters such as TAPS and their counterparts that go beyond the US to help the dead in other countries are currently helping the dead cross over or at least confirm or disprove a haunted house.
All Hallows Eve has been around for centuries. It is most known as Samhain because of a fall festival being around the time of harvest. It is when people gathered their crops for the winter and celebrated. It is also when ghosts had the ability to go between this world and the next easier. In essence, it is also a better known version of the Mexican day of Dia de Muerte or Day of the Dead that also happens at the same time every year.
My interest in this day came when I was much younger. I had always been interested in Vampires, werewolves, chupacabras, Ghosts and other supernatural beings. I was and still am among those that believe that there is something out there aside from ourselves. There are other things beside ourselves that many do not understand. If people something as simple as research they would learn that the Mexican and American tradition are not so far apart as many think. Both are essentially the same with very few differences. Unfortunately, many lack the ability to research and comprehend the fact that many traditions are the same with a few differences.
Halloween is a time when kids roam around in costumes and go trick or treating. It is also when paranormal researchers go to haunted places to get more evidence to prove that ghosts exist and that there is another world aside from the world that we can physically see.
