Stacey A Place For Kids WRITTEN BY KATHRYN MacKAY ILLUSTRATED BY LESLEY FAIRFIELD Most Halloween customs have close connections with an old and almost forgotten belief. Ghosts, witches, goblins, and other un- canny spirits of darkness were believed to leave their .invisible world and appear on earth the last night in October. People used to dress up as ghosts and other creatures on Halloween to pretend that they were those creatures. Now we wear costumes on Halloween mainly because it's fun to dress up. We celebrate alloween the night efore All Saint's Day. Over the years the ideerdf a `holy evening' slowly acquired the name of Halloween. Halloween, at one point in time, was a celebration off the summer's harvest. To this day apples and peanuts are a major source of booty from shouting `Trick or Treat'. Carving pumpkins on Halloween used to be done to scare evil spirits away from the house. A very grotesque face on a. pumpkin shining in a window would ensure that a house was well - protected from harm. Dear Captain Comet: Hi! My name is Amy Marie Olson.
