Guys the origins of halloween are irrelevant. What matters is what some billion people think about it. It is a festival of darkness and dark things happen.
The advice of not practicing witchcraft in the bible does not say witchcraft does not exist or does not work if you do it ironically.

I dunno, but in 2005 almost two people died for the stupidest accident on 31 oct. in Italy. I completely stopped doing anything on halloween since then.

When they were forcing the pole the banister gave out suddenly. The building was new but the banister was not touched too much because it was an historical building. I can vouch it looked pretty solid, some 3 inch of stone, but the pole must have acted like a lever.
Now, they fell from the first floor of an old building. Barely three meters. OK the pavement is concrete and there is a step and they were like 55 yo. But I swear, get fifty people falling down from there any day, no one dies. That day almost two did.
