Of course, those are all people walking around in costumes, but Halloween is a spooky time of the year that makes us believe in some of our worst paranormal fears, or at the very least tell some fake ghost stories to spook our friends. Or maybe you’ve actually seen a ghost, or had a paranormal experience.
