“On Hallowe’en the thing you must do/ Is pretend that nothing can frighten you /And if somethin’ scares you and you want to run/ Just let on like it’s Hallowe’en fun”
~19th Century Halloween postcard
Happy Hallowe’en.
One night a year, the veil between worlds stands at its weakest.
One night a year, the ghosts of friends and enemies, family and strangers, all arrive, wanted or unwanted, at your door.
Welcome them in or bar their way, just don’t deny them.
