Carving pumpkins is one of the most practiced Halloween traditions. From celebrity faces to practically art, Halloween pumpkins have been transformed into probably whatever one can imagine.  Source: http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/original-irish- jack-o-lanterns-were-truly-horrifying-and-made-of-turnips However, the original carved pumpkin was not even a pumpkin; it was a turnip. Why was it a turnip? Well, this tradition originated in ancient Ireland where pumpkins did not exist just yet. Nowadays, we carve pumpkins instead of turnips simply because they are much easier to carve. Furthermore, the original Jack-O-Lanterns were not used just for fun and decoration, instead they had a much more important purpose and it was to ward off evil spirits. Every Halloween, people of ancient Ireland would carve turnips and place an ember in them for protection from evils beings on the other side. The original carved turnips were not as festive as today's orange pumpkins. In

So, a few months back, I have written about some paranormal phenomenon my roommate and I have experienced. In that post, I mentioned that there are periods when strange things would happen and than, suddenly, out of the blue, they would stop. Well, it appears that the period of activity has once again returned. Considering the Halloween is approaching, it is not really that surprising . Source: pixabay.com It all started several days ago when multiple syncronicities would occur or, at least, they would be more noticeable than usually. Then, two days ago, in a middle of a night, my roommate heard someone breathing in our hallway. Next day, things got even stranger. My roommate went out. She wasn't gone for more than a minute when I heard her return home. She unlocked the doors and went to her bedroom. At the time I was in my room on my laptop so I just yelled out: "What did you forget?" Nobody answered. Needless to say, nobody was there. Few moments later, she ac
