So according to tradition, Halloween is the one night of the year when the dead can return to walk the earth. It's also a good night for fortune-telling. If you love Halloween as much as I do, you might enjoy these Halloween superstitions!!

Some of them are pretty creepy....

~~~

Staring into a candle on Halloween will let you look into the future.
...
If a candle flame turns blue, or suddenly goes out, it means a ghost has come to call on you.
...
If a bat flies 3 times around your house, it means inevitable death for someone in the house.
...
If you see a spider on Halloween, it could be the spirit of a dead loved one watching you.
...
Owls swoop down at people on Halloween to collect the souls of the dying. If you hear an owl hooting, turn out your pockets to save yourself!
...
To ward off evil spirits on Halloween, you should walk backwards counterclockwise 3 times around your house before sunset.
...
If you carry a lamp to a spring of water on Halloween night, you will see reflected the face of your future husband.
...
If you stand in front of a mirror holding a candle in a dark room on Halloween night, you will see reflected the face of your future husband.
...
If you peel an apple (in one long peel) and toss the peel over your left shoulder, it will fall in the first letter of your true love's name. The longer you can peel without breaking it, the longer your life will be.
...
If you catch a snail on Halloween night and lock it in a flat dish, in the morning you will see written in the slime the first letter of your true love's name.
...
Do not look at your shadow in the moonlight on Halloween, or you will become the next to haunt a graveyard.
...
If you put on your clothes inside out and walk backwards on Halloween, you will meet a witch! Or see her fly through the sky at midnight.
...
If you hear footsteps walking behind you on Halloween, do NOT look. It could be Death following you! If you look into his eyes, he will come for you soon.
...
If you go to a crossroads on Halloween and listen to the wind, you will learn all the important things that will befall you in the next twelve months.

Happy Halloween!!
