TOTALLY AGREE!!!!\n\nWe had a gang of children aged from 10 to 15 running around with massive fireworks setting them off sideways into cars and fences and across a main road. \nI live in a nice area but have a small patch of grass out the front of my house which is used by the kids passing through the neighbourhood. There are two very large parks nearby but the children where looking for trouble not fun!!! We had fireworks going off until 1am the other night and the police do nothing. \n\nFirstly where do they buy them from? Where are the parents? When did it become legal to sell large explosives to anyone who has money? I wonder how busy A&E are in the months of October & November with firework injures?\n\nA Licence would be a great idea, the strange thing is there are so many good displays around the country to go to which are safe and priced reasonable i wonder why people buy the crappy small ones to set off in their gardens anyway - store bought ones are alway disapointing to watch and if handed wrong very dangerous.\n\nI hope your pets recover soon.

I think anytime you get over 100,000 people together there will be some elements that could potentially lead to the tragic thing that happened at this party. I don't think its really related to the fact they were getting dressed up and partying for Halloween necessarily. Same thing could very well have happened for any celebration or gathering of people. I don't see anything wrong with adults dressing up and celebrating Halloween. I have done it myself on many Halloweens and no one at any event I attended ever got hurt. Haven't you heard of being young at heart?

I go to a church where they cast out demons. It's called a "deliverance ministry". Just last week, there was a woman there, who had about 12 different demons expelled from her.  I think maybe people have been desensitized to the reality of demonic spirits by all the horror movies they've seen over the years.  They've come to believe that they're just a part of sensationalized fiction, rather then reality.  But in fact, there are probably thousands of people in America right now, that are possessed by evil spirits, and they don't even know it.  They've opened the doorway to darkness by getting involved in occult practices, such as witchcraft and satanism.  T.V. Shows like "Charmed", have made witchcraft look like harmless fun, when in fact, it is a very dangerous practice.  It's all a part of Satan's plan to destroy the minds of our youth, and send them to hell.  That's because the Devil is already doomed to spend an eternity there, and he wants to take as many young people along with him as he possibly can.

its getting more and more in germany. i think one ponit is that in many parts of germany is bank holiday on nov1, so many clubs and bars do a halloween special. The days before halloween they show millions of the us halloween movies at german tv, so its no more so "strange" for the people here. This year i saw first time kids going for sweets  "trock or treat" but i fear they dont earn that much... for this its a lack of traditional, especially because on nov10/11 its st.martin in germany, this day the kids go from house to house and sing for sweets.

That depends entirely upon what type of answer you are looking for. For many people in the United States, it is just a holiday for people to buy candy and distribute it to the children who dress up as their favorite ghoul, hero or otherwise.\n\nFor others, it is known as All Hallow's Eve. This is a day in which supernatural energies are at their most and sightings of demons, ghosts and other supernatural beings increase. Spells cast upon this day are supposed to never fail as long as the heart of the one casting it has intentions of good.\n\nIt also started as a way to keep demons out in another country. People would put treats onto their doorsteps to ward off the demons and those that did not offer the treats would be subject to the tricks of the demon. Trick or treat....

All of you so-called Christians complain about a Religious Tract being passed out, & being a Witness for 48 years, I have never heard of any Witness passing out tracts on Halloween because they would be participating in a Pagan Holiday.\n\nBut you so-called Christians allow your children to participate in Pagan Holidays, which is condemned in the Bible.\n\nHalloween is a major satanic ritual day. “It’s a religious holiday for the underworld, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead,” according to a USA Today article. It quoted Washington witch Bryan Jordan as saying, “[Christians] don’t realize it, but they’re celebrating our holiday with us. . . . We like it.”\n\n\n\nIs there any objection to sharing in celebrations that may have unchristian roots as long as it is not done for religious reasons?\n\nEph. 5:10, 11: “Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord; and quit sharing with them in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness, but, rather, even be reproving them.”\n\n2 Cor. 6:14-18: “What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Be′lial? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? . . . ‘“Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves.\n\nHalloween: Though celebrated as a Christian holiday, Halloween finds its origins in pre-Christian festivals that propagate false ideas about life after death. Interestingly, we read: “After the Reformation, Protestants rejected this feast along with other important ones such as Christmas and Easter. Nevertheless, Halloween folk customs of pagan origin flourished.”—Encyclopædia Britannica

Because it deals with the dead and evil spirits.  People always tend to view evil as having to do with the devil/Satan.   Then include with that belief the symbols of the black cat, witches, bats and spiders, all symbols of evil or bad things, and the stories of the dead roaming the earth, etc., you have a bunch of people thinking that Halloween is bad.\nNevermind the fact that it was started as a celebration of the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, nor that the Halloween that we observe was actually started by the "Church" to honor saints and to cleanse the spirits of the dead so they may go into Heaven.

I so totally believe you --- I love this stuff and am jealous you got to witness it and not me.  I've heard of spirit guides too but if you were feeling "good" and not "scared" -- my guess whatever it was is probably still with you -- go on-line to some of these medium sites and see if you can contact them to get their input. I don't mean psychic hotline or anything - blah - I mean maybe they would know what this was that you saw.  I see like a white puff of smoke (like - not real) every so often in my home and I believe it is my father hanging out.  Of course that is what I WANT to believe soo......anyway, it isn't of this world but it doesn't scare me either - it actually warms my heart.  This stuff is exciting to me.  Let us know what you find out.  Email me if you do - I'd be interested to find out.

well being a person who ran several haunted houses, must agree that some parents have the right to worry. at first thought that Halloween was nomething to sweat. could never understand the big deal.now I look at it defirrent. but it is a time where we want to openly celebrate evil. is not every haunted house scene some sort of evil brought to life? dungeons ,dracula satan frankenstein blood ever where? should we not want to bring children up on a righteous path? personally never was comfortable allowing kids going through haunted houses. even (did not seem to mind taking their money) running the haunted houses. we would do a Saturday or Sunday afternoon opening and tone it down.

That's a darn good question. I'll need to remember this next time some mental burnout starts going on about ghosts. Maybe the clothes have souls?

Honest to God!  On the night of 4-21 (just two nights ago) I went to a local cemetary to record EVP and take some pictures.  Towards the end of the investigation I asked for someone to show themselves.  Either as a mist or super charged orb or to touch me on the arm, back or hair.  Just a moment later I felt someone messing with my ponytail.  It was the coolest thing!  I gasped because I didn't really expect anything to happen but I wasn't at all frightened.  I can't wait to go back.  I also have a bunch of ghostly voices recorded from previous investigations in cemetaries.  So far, I haven't experienced any evil entities.  Let's hope it stays that way.  Also, my house has several spirits in it.  I've witnessed some interesting things.  Pretty soon I'll have the chance to investigate the haunted house of my boyfriend's aunt.
