Ep. 2: Spooky Season

Ghosts and goblins and ghouls, oh my! Halloween has grown rapidly in the last few decades in its cultural reach and the passion of those of us that consider it our favorite holiday means that its not going anywhere anytime soon. But why do we whip out fake tombstones to place in our yards and ask for candy from strangers each October 31st? What does it have to do with ancient views of the natural world, and what forces have combined together to create this mysterious and alluring time of the year? It's that time again, for Spooky Season.
