The All Hallows Podcast

If you might enjoy a Halloween meditation, try this! You will go to an old house, meet a wise guide, and talk with a loved one who has passed beyond the veil.... Next podcast is an optional relaxation countdown, which you may play before this meditation, or use for general relaxation.

I've designed everything from small home displays to 14,000 sq foot interactive haunts. Some elements are the same, no matter the size of your project: if you've got it, haunt it!

Enjoy a longer podcast today, as I read an article written by one of the foremost authors on Halloween and its history, Lesley Bannatyne (with permission!). Lesley has a ton of great stuff at her website: http:/Iskullhalloween.com

This was my very first recording session to create a podcast, but playing now. Hope you can glean something useful! SPOILERS!

A poem from long ago leads to reminiscing about Halloweens from my past, and the current condition of the world reminds me of Poe's The Masque of the Red Death. So, I read it for you!

A reading for you of one of my favorite short pieces for Halloween!

Many of our modern ideas of fictional witches come from Shakespeare's "Wayward Sisters." Here is some background on why Shakespeare created them. Special thanks to Joyce Lynn, Deborah Dennard, and Jim McGiffin for their voice talent!

From one of the books, October Dreams , which I reviewed in the last podcast. Douglas Clegg ( https://douglasclegg.com/ ) has kindly given me permission to read it for your enjoyment! Stay safe!

I review four books I think people might enjoy reading for Halloween: Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Tree , Sheena Morgan's The Real Halloween , J.W.Ocker's A Season with the Witch , and October Dreams , an anthology edited by Richard Chizmar and Robert Morrish. Obviously... "Spoilers, Sweetie!"

On our second podcast (hopefully, one each day for the month of October), we explore a few stories of the ghosts of Santa Fe. A town with an ancient history, Santa Fe has been the home of the bizarre and unusual for centuries.

Greetings, friends! Join me as we explore Halloween from a different perspective... In this, the first of many podcasts, I tell a true ghost story that happened to me and eight other people. I hope it stimulates your curiosity for the unknown. Best if listened to with headphones, or at least in stereo!
