This time of year expect costumes and sweets as the season of Trick or Treat is approaching. But it can be dangerous for both parties, the trick-or-treaters and the householders. And this post explains why.
There are many strange stories about trick or treating when kids have dressed as ghosts, witches, vampires, werewolves and other monsters. Police have warned parents to always check their kids' Trick or Treat bags because children were given nasty things. There were chocolates full of razor blades passed to kids who went out trick or treating over Halloween in the village of Finstock, England. In 1964, a woman in New York handed out sweets to kids who were trick or treating but the goodies really contained steel wool and ant poison. Some of the stories about poisoned candy is scary enough to put you off trick or treating.
However, it's creepy on the other side too when scary trick-or-treaters come to your house. Except, sometimes they're not always as they seem. Gangs of teenagers have used the Halloween custom of trick or treat to terrorise neighbourhoods. Some residents including the most vulnerable are frightened of Halloween because of criminals knocking on their door at night.
Then there are actual ghosts who stop by. There are many accounts posted by people who found strange looking children knocking on their door well past midnight. They've noticed that the children have hollow looking black eyes, and insist on entering the house. This is part of the Black Eyed Children mystery. Often people are overcome by a feeling of dread and they refuse to answer their door to these mysterious kids. No one knows who or what the Black Eyed Kids really are or where they come from but its believed there's something paranormal about them.
