Hey, it’s Halloween time again and we’ve been watching  Stranger Things 2  to get in the mood for our favorite holiday. Especially because the new show takes place during the Halloween of 1984. And while we’ve explored Halloween a couple times in the past, including the urban legends that surround the holiday  and an in-depth discussion of the phenomenon of Devil’s Night , there’s still plenty that we can learn about the holiday.

Outside the Jabberwocky’s Ball at the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference – Wendy and I are hanging out with our friends Corey from Phantasmagoria Photo and Scott Markus from What’s Your Ghost Story.com It was a Alice in Wonderland-themed event, so we went simple with the costumes!

So, with all the nostalgia of  Stranger Things 2 from  Ghostbusters  to  Dragon’s Lair , we decided to reminisce a little about our own Halloweens past as well as look to discover some facts that we didn’t know before about the Holiday. And we did! From soul cakes to snapdragon, Allhallowtide to the origin of the word “bonfire”, we cover a ton of little known fact about the best holiday out there.

Plus we even uncover a new story (to us) about the 1980s’ Satanic Panic! There’s tons of fun in our 2017 Halloween special.
