We went to Chessington World of Adventures yesterday, and were surprised by the level of spookiness there. Skeletons, spiders and ghosts abounded - even taking up one whole car on the big wheel to themselves! I've always loved Halloween, and remember calling on neighbours with my carved out pumpkin in the 70s, but in recent years, Halloween seems to be even more popular than ever.
 Here are some creepy little facts for you:
If you see a spider on Halloween, it is the spirit of a loved on watching over you.
Worldwide, bats are vital natural enemies of night-flying insects.
The common little brown bat of North America has the longest life span for a mammal it's size, with a life span averaging 32 years.
In about 1 in 4 autopsies (in the USA I presume), a major disease is discovered that was previously undetected.
So, anyway, what do you plan to do (if anything) to celebrate Halloween - or are you planning on running for the hills until it's all over? |

 We live in the hills so Halloween is always quiet for us . . . love the facts.
Can I change this FORUM to Christmas for you now? |
