Most of us just enjoy it because…. well we all think it’s the greatest time of the year, well at least most of us reading this. Not all of us think it’s about death, horror, and about evil things, but is it? 

It’s interesting to think that sometimes we celebrate things that we just fully don’t understand. We just fall in love with the customs and traditions we grew up with and blindly follow them without fully grasping why we do what we do. But would it actually change your perspective on Halloween if you fully understood where everything actually comes from and why things are the way they are?

Good question… 

There are those who would probably stop liking Halloween because of it, but then there are others that would probably just think ” cool, now I know where this comes from” and just go on there way.

Anyways enough talk, here’s a video on 10 things that you may have not known about Halloween

The Witches Hill

There’s a little cemetery in the town of Olmstead Falls near Cleveland, Ohio that has an interesting history behind it. The Old Chestnut Falls cemetery is shrouded in mystery, legend, and lore. Supposedly it harbors the grave of a woman who was known to be a witch. Her grave is unmarked and legend has it if you get near the grave bad things will happen to you. Before she died she cursed all who did her wrong. However, nothing has been verified if the story is true or not.

Some say if any of this is true it would have happened in the mid 1700’s or 1800’s when hysteria about witches was at an all time high. In those times, accusations of being a witch meant life or death. Most of the time people were either burned, hung, or decapitated. It wasn’t like you would receive a fair trial or anything like that. Other versions say there were numerous women who were buried there in unmarked graves.

Who knows…. Check out the full story below.

Paranormal Activity And Evil Presence

There are countless stories of hikers and park visitors hearing strange sounds and singing coming from the woods. When people search for the source of the sounds, they can’t find anything at all. Some have seen hooded figures moving around the forest. There are areas in the forest especially near the tree where vegetation doesn’t grow. Some believe the ghost of the serial killer still roams the forest looking for more victims.

Do you think the actions of this monster lead to the evil presence that is now in the area? Do you think they should have blocked off a portion of this place instead of putting a park there? Those who have been there say the energy in the area is off, and that it’s not the kind of place you want to be left alone at.

The Haunted Grave Of Bessie The Witch 

There’s a grave in Tallahassee’s old city cemetery that’s surrounded by myth, legend, and superstition. The grave belongs to a woman by the name of Elizabeth Budd-Grahm who is also known as “Bessie” the witch. She died in the year 1889 at the age of 23 and left behind a husband and 2 small children. The reason why Bessies grave is so well known is that it’s the most expensive, luxurious, and odd grave in the cemetery. The odd part is that she came from a poor family and at the time of her death her husband didn’t have a lot of money, so how could her grave have been so luxurious? 

There are numerous rumors of how this could have happened, but some say that she put a spell on a rich man that caused him to pay for such an extravagant burial site. There are a few other reasons why some believe she was a witch, for one was the position her grave faces, it faces the west and that was said to go against Christian burial practices. The other thing was the inscription on her headstone, it was a passage from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Elleonora”.

One Of Alabama’s Most Haunted Places Is Also A Major Halloween AttractionOne Of Alabama’s Most Haunted Places Is Also A Major Halloween Attraction

Sloss Furnace Company 

The old  Sloss Furnace Company building in Birmingham, Alabama is said to be the most haunted place in Alabama. In fact, it’s said to be one of the most paranormally active locations in the United States. During the late 1800s employees at the Sloss Furnace Company were in charge of turning coal into steel. The processed steel that was created at the plant was heavily used during the industrial age. It was used in the development of skyscrapers in big cities like New York City and Los Angeles. During this time period, workplace safety was something that didn’t exist. Conditions in the plant were commonly referred to as a “living hell.” In the summer months, it was about 125 degrees inside of the building, mind you there were no breaks or time off for holidays. It was a constant bombardment of orders and work, work until you drop literally.

Possible Poltergeist Activity?

The Sloss Furnace company had a lot of death on its grounds, mostly because of the terrible and deadly working conditions. Human life wasn’t valued at all, it was all about steel and profit. There was one foreman in particular that many said was the evilest man that ever walked the earth. Many who have visited still say he walks around, and on one occasion a nightwatchman had a terrible encounter. The man said he came face to face with a half-demon -half-man looking entity that pushed him down some stairs.
