Halloween History and War Of The Worlds – Paranormal Podcast 112

October 30, 2009 By Jim Harold

Happy Halloween!  Author Lesley Bannatyne teaches us about the history of Halloween, its origins plus myths and fun facts concerning this most unique holiday.

Check out Lesley’s books at Amazon.com:

Witches’ Night Before Halloween

A Halloween Reader: Poems, Stories, And Plays From Halloweens Past

Halloween: An American Holiday, an American History

A Halloween How-To: Costumes, Parties, Decorations, and Destinations

On part two of this super sized, Halloween special we talk to author John Gosling who tells us about the War Of The Worlds broadcast on this date (October 30th) and how Orson Welles played the greatest Halloween trick of all time…and how its legend departs somewhat from reality.

Check out his book on the subject at Amazon.com:

Waging The War of the Worlds: A History of the 1938 Radio Broadcast and Resulting Panic, Including the Original Script

Thanks Lesley & John!
