Description
I ran across this old, haunted house one wintery night on a vacant farm in Southwest Virginia... The family was long since gone, but only the memories remain, or is there more? Ghosts and ghost tales abound, but no one really knows. This electrifying scene gives you that spooky, eerie feeling you get on a late Halloween night. Smiles.
Halloween is a popular holiday celebrated annually on October 31st, primarily in Western countries. It originated from ancient Celtic traditions, particularly the festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Today, Halloween is characterized by costume parties, trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, haunted house visits, and storytelling about ghosts, witches, and supernatural creatures. It's a time for both playful and spooky festivities, with a blend of tradition, folklore, and modern entertainment.
