This Is Halloween Re-Release

THIS IS A RE-RELEASE OF AN EPISODE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER 2020. ** Why are black cats considered unlucky? Do we really have to worry about our children receiving poisoned candy? And what is the deal with Skeleton Lake? Find all of this out and more by listening to our second Halloween special episode. We explore the history of our favorite holiday, and some of the most popular Halloween superstitions and traditions. We discuss the many possible origins of trick-or-treating, tell you a spooky story about Stingy Jack, and talk about why Halloween occurs at a particularly spooky time of year. ** You can find our sources for this episode at spookysciencesisters.com. ** While you’re here, we’d love it if you could subscribe to our YouTube channel!
