Halloween Lowcountry in the
It’s almost time for All Hallows Eve again or Halloween as most know it. In the Lowcountry that’s just another reminder of the spooky tales that envelop the history of our southern locale. Beaufort is famous for its numerous ghost stories and what better time to reminisce on them but at Halloween. One of the most popular stories in the area is the tale of the Lands End light. Now there are several versions of the story but my favorite version is this;

There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin. - Linus Van Pelt
Sometime during the Civil war a Confederate soldier was struck down by beheading at the Lands End Fort. Years later, people would say they could see a ghastly glowing light moving around in that area. Some say that if you get close enough you can see the headless figure walking with a lantern searching for the head that once was his. Others say he’s searching for a new head and will take yours if you get too close. Many Locals can tell you stories about seeing the light. I am one of them. So keep an eye out when you go out to Lands End Road at night and keep an eye out when your driving on Halloween night for little ghosts and goblins in search of candy. Happy Halloween.

Ever wonder how Halloween began and who started the eccentric practices which evolved into our celebrations today? Let's explore local and global customs and traditions that make Halloween what it is today — and why it's so much fun.
Bonfires In northern Ireland, it was customary for Druids to perform ritualistic ceremonies and make sacrifices to pacify their gods. The Celts would bring wood and start their Samhain bonfire or, fire festival, on the hilltop. Often, they would throw the bones of slaughtered cattle into the flames. The word "bonfire" is said to be derived from such "bone fires." Bonfires and sacrifices guaranteed that the sun would burn brightly after a long, dreary winter. It's common to witness hundreds of traditional bonfires in Ireland every year on Halloween Night.
Costumes Halloween costumes originated from the Celts when they lit huge bonfires and celebrated Samhain by dressing up in elaborate animal skins and heads to disguise themselves as spirits and demons so that the real ones couldn't distinguish them as being human. Their ceremonies consisted of dancing, telling stories, and reading fortunes.
Jack O Lanterns The traditions of carving jack 'o lanterns originates with the Celts. A miserable man named Jack, tricked the devil. Unable to enter heaven or hell after his death, he was destined to roam the earth listlessly. Jack placed a piece of coal into a carved-out turnip and used it as a lantern to keep the evil spirits away. Today, pumpkins (which are easier to cut) are carved into jack-o-lanterns, lit and placed outside of doorways for the same purpose.
Trick or Treating The custom of trick or treating evolved in Ireland, centuries ago. In preparation for All Hollow's Eve, the the poor would call upon the rich folks and request money, gifts and food. The food was gathered for a huge feast and celebration.
