Sort of. It was the one night of the year the living could communicate with those who had passed away.
Nobody who communicates with the dead really knows who they’re communicating with.
This is an example of deception.
This is that time to be unburdened what has been expired Nicorette candies. Stock up on razor blades and apples because of the upcoming dock strike. Or go cheap and leave out an empty jackolantern bucket with a sign reading “Take only one candy PLEASE”. Afraid to have a Trump/Vance sign in your yard because of vandalism/retribution? Put out a Harris/Walz “final tour” sign with ACDCs song “Highway to Hell” playing in the background.
