How do you feel about Halloween or All Hallow's Eve?
it's one of my favorite holidays, right after Christmas. I think Halloween is a misun-
derstood holiday in many ways... It's become very commercialized and about can-
dy and costumes, and a lot of the heart of it, it's ancient ties and connection to na-
ture and time and the spirit, has been forgotten.

Are you aware of the real story / legend behind Halloween / All Hallows Eve?
I recall that the original Celtic holiday, called Calan Gaef or Samhain, was a har-
vest-type festival, a celebration of the end of the growing season and the prepara-
tion for the 'death' that is Winter. Spirits were a big part of it, too, and it was often
said that this was the night when the veil between the worlds of the living and the
dead were at their thinnest and easily parted. Hence, the ghosts associated with
the time.
Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one?
I haven't seen one, but I've heard and experienced a few things that simply can't
be explained away.
