October and Halloween are fun for many. Kids love to go trick or treating and get delicious candy and dress up. Teen and adults love to go to parties and watch scary movies. However, sometimes Halloween can be more spooky than fun.
Here are some REAL EVENTS happened on Halloween and this will explain why this celebration is scary.
1. A real creepy decoration in Delaware
If there were a prize for most morbid Halloween decoration in Frederica, Delaware, in 2005, it would have gone to the body hanging from a tree. It would have beaten out the fake witches, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns dotting the neighborhood. For hours, people passed by admiring it. Obviously, it had an edge over the other decorations. This was a real body. Police believe it was that of a woman who had committed suicide the night before.
2. This is why you check your kid’s candy
It is commonplace to check your child’s candy before they eat it because of some sick people out there who poison or mess with candy. One of the reasons we do this is because of a kid’s death in 1974. It’s every parent’s nightmare: Your child comes home from a night of trick-or-treating with spiked candy. One event that helped propel this fear was the murder of Timothy O’Brien in 1974. The eight-year-old from Deer Park, Texas, died Halloween night after ingesting poisoned candy. Making this crime more horrific is the fact that the perpetrator was not a neighbor, but the boy’s own father, who sought to cash in on his son’s life insurance. Every parent should read these trick-or-treating safety tips.
3. A creepy note
The most frightening thing about the graveyard kit bought at Kmart was the note an Oregon woman found inside. It was written by a Chinese factory worker who claimed he and others were tortured and enslaved in a forced labor camp making toys 15 hours a day with no pay or days off. He went on to plead for the letter to be forwarded to the World Human Rights Organization. The woman did just that, and the Chinese worker was freed when the camp was exposed months later.

4. A killer costume
The year was 1957. Halloween night. A couple was getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang. It was late, but the husband answered the door, ready to dole out more candy. Suddenly, an adult wearing a mask shot him in the chest killing him. Was it a trick-or-treater dissatisfied with the candy selection? Not quite. Actually, the murderer, it turns out, was the girlfriend of a woman who had had an affair with the murdered man’s wife. The woman convinced her girlfriend to do away with the husband in order to have the wife for herself.
5. Is candy worth a life?
Candy might be important, but it’s certainly not worth your life. It was Halloween night. When a 55-year-old Chicago resident realized his candy bag was missing. Therefore, he blamed a neighbor for the missing sweets and took his revenge to an extreme, stabbing her to death with several steak knives.
