You won’t believe what people used to do on Halloween. In this episode, the Ghostkeepers trace the haunted history of everyone's favorite spooky holiday—from ancient Samhain rituals to the tale of Stingy Jack and his cursed lantern. Plus, a handful of creepy true horror stories from the Castle library and a chilling detour into the woods in search of Virginia’s infamous Bunny Man.
