Hi there! Do you like celebrating Halloween? Some think halloween seems really fun but for some Halloween is their biggest fear including me. I agree carving pumpkins, watching movies, decorating our homes in a dark theme, wearing scary costumes and going trick or treat is very fun! But behind this occasion, there are certain myths and reasons that will make you paralysed with fear. ( Informations regarding Halloween are researched from Internet ) First and Foremost, What is Halloween ? On the night of October 31, it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. This was firstly celebrated by the celts who lived 2000 years ago.

Secondly why do people need to dress in scary costumes? It is believed that in this night the dead roams freely so people dress up in scary costumes and masks in order not to be recognised. Another myth is that since early times, it is believed that if you see a spider on the night of Halloween, it means your loved one is watching over you. If this doesn't creep you out then what I'm gonna tell you next is about the deathly creature '" The Grim Reaper."

When I searched upon in the Internet the most associated monster creature with Halloween, it resulted in being the Grim Reaper. For those who don't know what a grim reaper is, Black hooded robe, skeletal hands, signature scythe, fleshless face. If someone who looks like this comes knocking at your door, it's either Halloween or your funeral. Trick-or-treaters in even the most eerily convincing costumes would probably still drop all their candy and run if they saw this ominous figure. He comes for every person, hourglass in hand, waiting for the last grain of sand to fall.

I'm sorry if these myths crept you out, but this is the truth! As now you know what is Halloween is, I shall narrate this incident that happened to me when I was in my childhood age. Whenever I remember this incident it sends shivers down my spine!
