Ghosts, specters, witches, and beings from beyond the grave will invade the planet in days to trick its inhabitants into giving in to their fear tricks or coming to a deadly deal. Halloween is approaching, a pagan rite, the Samhain, with which the ancient Celts celebrated the end of the harvest and the change of the seasons in a perplexity where they believed that the dead returned among the living.
In the 7th century, the Irish holiday of October 31 was called Halloween, coinciding with the establishment of the Church on All Saints’ Day on November 1. Emigrants brought this holiday to the United States and from there it spread all over the world. You will have nowhere to hide and you will not be able to escape a terrible plan.
