eldritchhobbit: (Haunted)
Today's text is “Halloween Lore Told” from The Butte Daily Post on 10/31/1931.

Quote: “Halloween, the night of black hours, ‘when churchyards yawn and graves give up their dead.’ will be celebrated in traditional style when the sun goes down… legend has it, the lake of hades freezes, and friends skate across to stalk the world unchallenged. Evil will possess the shadows until cock-crow.”
