During the Industrial Revolution we went from handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. Somewhere in the transition someone got the bright idea that you could treat the human body like a machine and the result was that there was a glut of ” medical ” equipment and treatment plans for everything from Gout to ” Lady Problems ” that could be solved with-
electricity.
Today is October 1 and Halloween is 30 days away.
Here are some fun things you could work into your Halloween experience and if you like them enough, you might want to make them a part of your Halloween Traditions.
#6 is looking pretty good to me considering Halloween festivities aren’t going to be happening in my neck of the woods.
Here’s a video of modern Halloween Traditions to look at for some inspiration.
They’re informative. For example I did not know you could get a black eye while bobbing for apples.
I know for a fact that if you are not careful you could really hurt someone while trying to bust open a Piñata- but a shiner from bobbing for apples while your head is under water?
That is just freaky.

Have you ever heard of the German Halloween tradition called, ‘ Hide The Knives’?
I get the ‘Festival of Skulls’ but ” Hide the Knives?”
That’s just awesome.
Here are some weird traditions to explore, maybe you do them already and maybe you might like to try a few.
Like the Festival of Skulls.

I suppose that as you explore Halloween Traditions and may decide to adopt a few for yourself you might want to avoid exploring the Haunted US Roads as part of your new traditions.
I won’t be, but you know, that’s the way I roll.

Happy Haunting everyone!
My September Countdown to Halloween is about to give way to October’s countdown.
As most of us are thinking about snacks and goodies for our Halloween tables and treat bags, I would like to tell you about a lady who served the family she was working for a sweet treat of Peaches and Ice Cream.
It made them deathly ill.
Actually the food itself was fine until the cook handled it.
Her name was Mary Mallon, but you may know her by another name:
Typhoid Mary.
Coffin nails…give them to someone you love for Halloween- which is a little over a month away!
