Halloween

“The Halloween nuisance annually recurrent in Helena, if known to the people of biblical times doubtless would have been included among the plagues of Egypt!” The editor of the Helena Record Herald had had enough!

“We have, when a small boy, spent many hours in the early evening ... listening to thrilling ghost stories. There is scarcely a man or woman who does not honestly believe that he, or she, has seen and been chased by ghosts at some time in their lives.” So reported the Choteau Calumet on Halloween 1886.
