You have to admit that every time Halloween starts to approach, there are more people who are willing to share their horror stories. There are some who would like to feel scared from time to time. Ghosts have always been associated with Halloween because people believe that ghosts would usually appear during All Saints and All Souls day.

During this time, the Celts, who started out this tradition believed that the boundary between the living and the dead is nonexistent. Ghosts may sometimes be walking among us and we would not even know. Ghosts can be considered good or bad depending on their purpose to go back to earth.
