From October 31 to November 1, one of the most fun, mystical and mysterious holidays is celebrated in different countries around the world. This holiday is one of the most ancient in the history of all mankind, although it became so popular not so long ago. It's Halloween, of course! BUT Halloween for kids This is a great opportunity to have fun with family and friends!
The modern image of Halloween is imposed on us by American films. They planted in the minds of people a ghostly stereotype of this holiday: a cold, damp, foggy night, terrible monsters, witches, ghosts, orange pumpkins with a terrible mocking grimace, and the like. So there was a very common belief that Halloween is an exclusively American holiday. But in fact, it is absolutely not true!
As it turned out, it came from very distant times of the Celtic culture and has more than 2000 years.
The Celts celebrated the beginning of the new year on November 1st. This day marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of a bitter cold winter. The Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the spirits of dead people return to the world of the living in order to find a body and continue to live. People, in order to scare away the spirits, put on scary, dirty clothes and masks. This is where the tradition of dressing up in costumes and terrible masks, which are still popular during the celebration of Halloween, came from.
This holiday has one very unusual attribute - it acquires the most bizarre forms and images! The orange pumpkin, which is the most common symbol of the holiday, also has its own history. She came to us from Irish folklore. According to legend, there was a certain Jack who was very cunning and nimble, he fell in love with booze. And once Jack managed to deceive the devil himself. After such a vile act, Jack was not allowed into the underworld, and he did not go to heaven because of his numerous sins. So he was doomed to eternal wanderings in the dark. In order to light his way, Jack used a small coal, which he put in a small turnip that looked like an oil lamp. With this legend, the tradition of lighting candles on Halloween began. It was believed that they symbolize the souls of the dead. Later, the Irish began to use pumpkins instead of candlestick turnips. They cut off the top, took out the insides, cut out the eyes and mouth and inserted a candle into the middle, just like that. This creative was called "Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern"
Jack-O-Lanterns
honor of the hero of Irish folklore.
Halloween came to America thanks to the Irish. And here this holiday became very popular, and it began to be celebrated throughout the United States. Over time, it loses its essence and turned into an occasion to have fun for everyone: both adults and children. This is a unique opportunity to joke, put on awkward costumes, sing Halloween songs. , dressed up in carnival costumes, go from house to house, sing songs in the hope of getting a treat from the owners. This action was called "trick or treat", which means "sweetness or filth". The entertainment industry is for adults. A huge number of clubs and restaurants offer their entertainment program, chefs create original and unique dishes that correspond to the special festive surroundings. Halloween is one of the most beloved holidays among American children and adults too. Here is such.
In recent years, Halloween has reached and spread quite widely in the post-Soviet space. Of course, children and teenagers loved him. After all, this is a great opportunity to have fun and fool around. Toddlers absolutely do not need to know the history of Halloween. It is quite possible to protect them from everything mystical and terrible and turn Halloween for kids in fun, and while preparing for it, make a lot of interesting crafts, cook delicious interesting dishes with your mother, play original games, put on costumes. Watch interesting children's films and cartoons, for example, about a very cute ghost "Casper".
Even more than that, this holiday presents all sorts of mystical characters in a comical way. I have already written about this, but I will repeat it again. A very suitable occasion. If a child is afraid, for example, of ghosts or some incomprehensible creatures in general, then it is by giving them a funny form that we help to get rid of all fears. An example from life. My child began to be afraid of something or someone, he did not know what. This was around the age of four. In one children's magazine, I saw an extremely simple instruction on how to make a ghost out of a paper napkin: a paper ball is covered with a white napkin, tied with a thread, eyes and a mouth are drawn, and that's it, the ghost is ready. So my son and I made such a ghost. He decided that it would be a guardian and protector from everything that he was afraid of. The napkin ghost became my son's guardian, and to this day, it hangs over the bed. This is a simple example of how you can present a child's fears in funny and kind ways.
Of course, you need to do everything, taking into account the age of the child. If the child is still small, then, probably, you should not focus on this holiday at all. But school-age children and teenagers are usually delighted with him. After all Halloween for kids- this is an opportunity to have fun, joke, dress up in funny costumes, make Halloween makeup, make a Jack-o-lantern and other decorations out of a pumpkin, play interesting games, the main thing is that it does not go beyond and does not strain others. Yes, and parents can join their kids and fool around a bit just like in childhood.
And here you can watch a wonderful film about a kind little ghost "Casper Meets Wendy".

So one day I once again quarreled with my parents and called her and asked if I could come to her. She said she would be very glad to see me, and I went to her house. When I came to her house, she opened the door for me, and I immediately rushed to her and sobbed. She asked what happened, and I told her about my scandal with my parents.
She asked me to calm down and led me to the kitchen. I drank tea and calmed down. Then we talked about this and that, and she offered to stay the night. I accepted her offer with great pleasure. She made a bed for me in one room, herself in another. They wished each other good night and went to bed.
I couldn’t sleep for a long time, my eyes just didn’t close, I kept thinking about my parents, when I suddenly heard Marina scream: “Don’t, it’s not me.” I jumped out of bed and ran to her room. When I went into her room, I saw how Marina, clutching her neck with both hands, rolled on the floor and shouted: "It's not me, it's Nea." I ran up to her and started punching her in the face.
Marina seemed to move away, opened her eyes and looked at me. There was horror in her eyes. I asked her what happened, to which she told me only one thing: "He came again."
I put her on the bed, poured water into a glass and gave it to her. When she came to, she told me a story that shocked me. One summer, she and her friends decided to go to the lake. There was notoriety around this lake.
It was rumored that a drowned man lives in it, who was brutally killed and then drowned, and that he grabs the one who bathes in this lake at night and pulls him to the bottom. So Marina and her friends came to the lake, it was already evening. While the tents were pitched, the fire was lit, it was already dark.
It was stuffy outside, so Marina decided to take a dip in the lake. Undressed and swam. The water was very good. Suddenly, something grabbed her by the legs and pulled her sharply down. She only had time to shout: "Help" and went under the water. She opened her eyes underwater and saw that some vile creature was holding her legs and saying: "It was you who killed me."
Then Marina said that she lost consciousness and that she woke up already on the ground. Saved by her boyfriend. He saw how she shouted something and went under the water, and he rushed after her. She told everyone what happened to her, but no one believed her. They said that she simply choked on water and hallucinations appeared. And after all this story, this creature began to appear to her at night.
And today it came to her. She asked me to come back to her tomorrow, as she is very afraid of being alone at night. She needs someone to be with her every night so that he can pull her out of the clutches of this creature. I promised her that I would come tomorrow.
We slept until morning. Then I got up, washed my face and went home. Evening came, and I began to gather to Marina. Mom came into my room and asked me to sit with my younger brother for a couple of hours while they go to the cinema with my father.
I agreed, but warned that I would only stay for two hours. They got dressed and left. I called Marina and said that I would come in two hours. She said she would be waiting for me. Two hours passed, but the parents did not come. I started to get nervous. Another hour passed, but no one was there. I took out the book and began to read it to my brother. Half an hour later we fell asleep.
I woke up because someone opened the door with keys. She opened her eyes and saw that the sun was already shining outside the window. I rushed to the door and saw that my parents were standing there. They told me that they met acquaintances in the cinema and went to visit them. I said that this is not done, and with tears I ran to the phone. I dialed Marina's phone number, but no one answered me.
I quickly got dressed and ran to Marina. When I ran to her door, I saw that it was open and that there were a lot of people in uniform in her apartment. I went into the apartment and saw Marina. She lay covered with a sheet on the floor next to her bed.
I rushed to her, but someone grabbed my hand and asked: "Girl, what are you doing here?". I turned my head and saw that a policeman was holding my hand. When I told him everything, what and how, he told me that Marina had died. She was suffocated. They took my fingerprints and let me go home.
I ran home, locked myself in my room, lay down on the bed and cried. A few minutes later I fell asleep. In a dream, I saw a pink clearing and Marina was standing on it. I ran up to her, took her by the hand and told her: "I'm sorry that I didn't save you." She kindly smiled at me and said that she was not offended by me and that she was very happy here. She hugged me tenderly, kissed me on the cheek and disappeared. The funeral took place three days later. Every day I go to the cemetery and bring her favorite flowers and still can't believe that she is no more.

Children's scary isotryai "Night walk"
Once, in late autumn, relatives from a neighboring village invited us, with my younger brother Patrick, to their Halloween party.
Having collected sweet trophies from all the neighbors, as well as plenty of parroting them, we moved back.
It was well after midnight, the full moon shone with a bright, deadly white light, because of which the shaggy branches hanging low over the road seemed to be cast from silver, darkened in places with time.
The air was saturated with moisture, it had rained heavily the day before, but now the sky has cleared and spread over us like a bottomless well, entangled in a bright web of stars. It seemed that everything around had fallen into a dream, not even the habitual singing of crickets, those tireless violinists of the night, could be heard.
The road, slightly rising, led us to the ravine and circled along it, pressed against the cliff by the old abandoned village cemetery.
You know, they say Jack the blacksmith is buried in this cemetery. The one who first carved a terrible muzzle in a pumpkin and inserted a candle there, I said.
- Crap, said Pat. There was no blacksmith, and this tale was invented by a cunning peasant so that his pumpkins would sell better. Look, they have nowhere to put them in the fall.
- And yet, I did not let up, they say, once Jack scared the devil with his pumpkin. He was so offended that he put a curse on him: forever on the night of November 1, walk the earth with this stupid pumpkin and scare people.
- Yes, there was no Jack, I tell you, there is nothing for me here ...
But before he had time to finish, a stranger of medium height appeared from behind the turn, easily carrying a huge pumpkin with both hands, from the terrible grin of which a bright orange light poured onto the road.
- Great, guys, what are you scared of? Hey redhead, I see your heart is pounding so that it will soon punch a hole in the belly and jump out onto the road, giggling loudly, the stranger threw Patu.
I opened my mouth to answer, but then my eyes fell on a large puddle separating us from the stranger. It reflected the full moon and the fiery pumpkin, which was held in the hands of a stranger. But she, as it were, hung in the void: her owner was not reflected in the mirror of water.
I elbowed Patrick, but didn't make it.
- Shut your mouth with your goddamn pumpkin, squeezed out Pat.
- But you guessed it. And about the devil, and about the pumpkin, the guy said cheerfully. He made some imperceptible movement, and his head disappeared, as if it did not exist at all. And in its place, an evil, suddenly turned white fire, shone a huge pumpkin. A scorching light glinted from her eyes, and her orange teeth bared in a horrible smile. And over the ravine resounded a very loud, muffled, wild laughter emanating, if not from a pumpkin, then certainly not from a human throat.
I have never run so fast in my life. We jumped into the ravine and rushed, sliding down the slope and breaking the bushes. How our necks remained intact is still a mystery to me. Apparently our death was not included in the plans of the creature that we met on the trail.
After running at least a mile, we stumbled over a snag and rolled head over heels on a wet carpet of fallen leaves.
What was that, Pat asked, breathing heavily.
“Didn’t you see it yourself?” I croaked.
We quickly trotted to where the trail should have been. Soon, a gap between the trees flashed and we got out of the ominous place.

I went out to her balcony and froze in surprise, I saw that my grandfather, who died 7 years ago, was walking around my apartment. Stunned on the spot, he began to see what would happen next. And suddenly I heard that my friend screamed in horror realizing what was the matter. After reassuring her, I began to dress as quickly as possible - I wanted to know what was going on in my apartment.
She strongly begged me not to go there until my parents returned. And yet I managed to convince her that there was nothing to worry about - it just seemed. As I approached my door, I suddenly noticed that the door was open.
Entering the hallway, I went to the kitchen and saw my friend on her balcony, she waved to me and let me know that everything was in order. And suddenly I saw her put her hand over her mouth in horror. Then my head began to double, my legs began to tangle, and my vision blurred.
I tried to turn around, but immediately fell. I was brought to consciousness by my neighbors, who were called by my friend. She said that that figure put her hands on my shoulders, and I fell, after that she dragged me into the room, and then she didn’t see anything, but I don’t remember anything until I lost consciousness.
Nothing was missing from my apartment, and the neighbors say that during this time no one entered or left my apartment except me.

Children's horror story "Wow fishing!"
This incident happened to me and my father on a fishing trip. As always at the weekend, my father and I went fishing. We took tackle, bait and something to eat with us. The weather was beautiful, as if made for fishing. We came to the river, decomposed.
Prepared gear and threw fishing rods into the river. The bite was not very good. Father said that he would go quickly pay off, as it was very hot. I stayed on to continue fishing. Literally as soon as my father left, I pecked sharply, and the float went under the water. I pulled on myself, but some force pulled me with a fishing rod into the river.
I thought it was catfish. He began to resist, it was a pity to lose the bait. I was almost sucked into the river up to my waist, I decided to release the fishing rod from my hands, when suddenly this force abruptly let go of the fishing line, and I fell into the water. I wanted to get up quickly, but someone grabbed my legs and pulled me to the bottom.
That was strength, I was dragged down like some kind of chip. I yelled and began to resist in vain. And then he heard the voice of his father: "Son, give me your hand." My father jumped up to me and grabbed my hand. But he did not manage to pull me out, the force that dragged my body was very strong. Then he quickly swam ashore, took a knife from the bag and rushed back into the river.
He swam up to me. He took the knife out of his mouth, put it in his right hand and dived. There was a real battle at my feet. After about five seconds, I felt my legs free. Another three seconds passed, and my father emerged with a cut hand. Now I was dragging my father ashore. When we swam to the shore and came out on it, my father showed me what he had left in his hand. It was a sticky piece of some creature, unlike any other fish.
The stench was so drawn from this piece that it seemed that this creature lives in the sewers. I helped my father bandage the wound and we began to get ready to go home. Suddenly we heard the rushing of water.
My father and I ran away from the water and hid in a hole. We raised our heads to see what was happening there. You won't believe we saw a big turtle. It was about three meters long. Instead of arms and legs, she had tentacles. A white liquid was leaking from one of the tentacles, which must have been what my father did when he saved me. She swam closer to the shore and began to look at us. This went on for thirty seconds. Then she screamed sharply, turned her back to us and went under the water. And there was silence. My father and I rushed to run home.
Nobody believed us, of course. The piece that my father cut off from this creature, we lost in a hurry. We didn't have any evidence. This is some interesting fishing.
Scary story for children "You will die!"
Night. Nobody at home. She finished her cup of green tea and went to bed. Today was a very hard day. She's tired. Lazily throwing off her slippers, she collapsed onto the bed. The window was open, and a light breeze walked around the room. There were no stars to be seen, but the round moon treacherously illuminated the silhouettes, casting frightening shadows. The eyes slowly closed. Sleep beckoned her. Warm thoughts warmed her, helping her fall asleep faster. There was a sharp creak. What's this? Probably a draft. Ignoring this, she continued to plunge into the world of warm memories and carefree sleep.
From the kitchen came the sound of broken crockery.
- You will die. You must die today,” a hoarse voice whispered.
-Who is there? She opened her eyes sharply.
— Do you hear? You will die! I said so. You will die! the voice continued to repeat. He was terrifying. It was hardly earthly. No human organism was able to speak so hoarsely and at the same time loudly and clearly.
-Who is there? Come out! - the girl was seriously scared.
"Die, die..." the voice whispered.
Fear gripped her. In a panic, she tried to find her phone, but to no avail. She was afraid to leave the room.
“Die…” was heard around.
She ducked into a corner. The pulse seemed to pierce the head, the heart - to stop from the frantic rhythm. Other voices began to be heard:
“Remember… You will die… Today… Soon… Wait…” they sounded chaotically, hardly intelligible.
Sitting in the corner, she couldn't bring herself to move. Fear gripped her. Hands shook convulsively. The brain ceased to think adequately. It echoed the words "Die, die" thousands of times. The window banged. It looks like the wind is raging in earnest.
— No, don't! I beg! she moaned, “Don't!
-That is how it should be. Today.
She began to beat on the wall in the hope of waking up the neighbors, but to no avail. She tried to get up, but fell again. The wheezing intensified. "I wish I had died sooner," the girl thought, "would this be over as soon as possible."
Start to turn gray. Morning slowly discolored the moon. Exhausted, she tried to get up. The voice definitely came from the kitchen.
She gathered her last strength to look death in the eye. Leaning against the walls, she slowly made her way to the kitchen. The voice was getting louder and louder. She lost consciousness and immediately came to her senses, fell and rose. I opened the door and saw ... the TV was not turned off with some cheap Halloween program.
- Fucked up! - she thought and collapsed to sleep!

Scary story for children "Knock on the window"
This year, after the school year, I decided to visit my beloved grandmother. My parents let me go without any problems. They said go, granny will be glad to see you. I packed my things, bought a ticket and left. Three hours later I was with her. She was very happy when she saw who came to her. We sat down with her, talked and drank tea. Beginning to get dark. She made my bed.
I went to shower and went to bed. Although I slept like a log, but through a dream I heard someone knocking on the window. I slowly opened my eyes, got out of bed and went to the window. The knock continued. I opened the window, but I didn’t see anyone, I only heard someone’s steps moving away from the window. I closed the window again and went to sleep. After a while, there was again a knock on the window, and then I, probably for the first time in my life, got scared. I lay down under the covers so as not to hear this knock. But he got stronger and stronger. I jumped out of bed and ran into my grandmother's room in tears.
She was sleeping, but when she heard that I was crying, she immediately woke up. I told everything. She said that this had never happened before. She and I went outside, went to my window, but there was no one there. She said that she would spend the night with me in my room, and we went to bed. She lay down next to me and we fell asleep. Literally about forty minutes later, this knock on the window was heard again. I gently pushed my grandmother on the shoulder, she woke up and asked what happened. I showed her with a gesture that she would not speak, but listen. She heard everything and told me: "Come on, get up, let's go to the window."
It was very scary, but interest took its toll and we went. Approaching the window, through the curtain we saw a large shadow with horns. We bounced off the window. And this shadow, sensing that we were somewhere nearby, began to hammer on the window even louder and louder. We screamed. When we calmed down, grandma told me that she had lived almost her whole life, but she had never seen anything like it. After a while, we finally decided to go to the window. The knock on the window was gone, but the shadow still remained behind the curtain.
We got up and went to the window. I took the curtain, but my grandmother said that she was better. She squinted her eyes and pushed it away. And we saw, you know who, a cow. It was my grandmother's cow, her name was Murka. My grandmother and I ran outside and hugged this cow and laughed. It turns out that this cow got rid of it and went for a walk around the yard, and when she got tired of walking, she began to break home and knock her horns on the windows. Here's a funny story that happened to me.

- Son, son, stand on a chair! - He just put on slippers.

Now you have a lot of scary stories and horror stories for children and adults for Halloween, which will help you spend the holiday in an interesting and atmospheric way.
Halloween is one of the oldest holidays in the English-speaking world, second only to Christmas in popularity. And while millions of people celebrate Halloween without knowing the origins of Halloween, knowing the history of Halloween and the myths and legends associated with it makes this spooky, fun holiday even more interesting.
And this holiday is rather ambiguous: and although some people consider it a great way to have fun and have fun, some perceive it as a time of superstition and all sorts of devilry.
Halloween is celebrated on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. Initially, it was a pagan holiday - a day of honoring the dead. Halloween was called All Hallows Eve (the eve of All Saints' Day), and its roots went back centuries, no less - to the beginning of our era.
All Saints' Eve, as its name implies, is the evening before All Saints Day, the day that Christians dedicated to their patron saints and on which pagans were converted, November 1st.
According to one version, the authorship of the holiday is attributed to the Druids - the Celtic people who lived in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. The progenitor of Halloween was Samhain (Samhain), which was celebrated at the end of October. Samhain meant the end of summer: and this day they thanked for the harvest, burned sacred fires, seeing off the old year and meeting the new one.
The Celts believed that on this day the souls of the dead roam among the living. In order for the spirits of ancestors to contribute to a good harvest next year, they tried to appease them with treats and gifts. It was this custom that transformed into trick-or-treating, "muck or sweetness" - a children's Halloween tradition of going from house to house, begging for candy.
Many also believe that Halloween is somewhat of a Christian holiday, as it is celebrated on the eve of All Saints' Day.
The witch outfit is the most popular Halloween costume for women, and the silhouette of a witch on a broom against the backdrop of a full moon is one of the typical symbols of the holiday. It is believed that on the night of November 1, the power of witches increases many times over. The image of an old witch (witch) in a pointed hat (pointy hat), stirring her brew in a huge cauldron (cauldron), was transformed from the pagan image of the goddess known as Mother Earth or the Crone, and symbolizing wisdom and the change of seasons.
According to Celtic folklore, there was once a cunning Irish farmer named Jack who tried to deceive both God and the devil. As a result, he did not go to hell (hell) or paradise (paradise), and since then he was forced to wander in the darkness of purgatory (purgatory). In order not to wander in complete darkness, Jack made a lantern out of turnips, inserting into it an ember thrown to him by the devil from hell.
Thus, the jack-o'-lantern (namely, the name of a pumpkin lantern with an ominous face carved on it) was created in order to guide lost souls. The ancient Celts put the jack-o'-lantern on the threshold of their house to attract the spirits of their ancestors to their hearth.
The eternal symbol of misfortune, the black cat is the most popular image of Halloween. The reputation of black cats was tarnished during the time of the witch hunt: then the furry companions of witches were considered incarnations of demonic entities. And many believed that sometimes the image of a black cat was taken by Satan himself.
According to some medieval beliefs, bats (bats), like black cats, were the embodiment of dark forces. Many believed that if a bat flew around your house three times on the eve of All Saints' Day, death would come into it. Another chilling myth: if a bat flies into a house on Halloween, it is inhabited by ghosts (haunted).
Everyone is afraid of spiders: the most excellent symbol of the most terrible holiday of the year! According to an old belief, if a spider falls on a candle (candle) and burns in its flame (flames) - a witch is nearby. And another, sad, but romantic myth says: if a spider catches your eye on Halloween, you are guarded by the spirit (spirit) of a deceased lover or beloved ...
According to the beliefs of the pagan Celts, after death, the soul of a person fell into the cauldron (cauldron) of Mother Earth, in which the souls awaited subsequent reincarnation.
It is believed that on Halloween the dead walk among the living, and if you refuse to treat anyone who knocks on your door, you can inadvertently offend the soul of the deceased (which is fraught with dire consequences). Therefore, the children's tradition of trick-or-treating is so popular: no matter what house you knock on, no one will leave you without a sweet gift.
Halloween is considered the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, so ripe wheat (wheat) and corn (corn) are also symbols of this holiday (unfortunately, not scary at all).
On Halloween night, according to legend, the spirits (ghosts) of dead ancestors roam among the living. Therefore, ghosts are one of the typical symbols of Halloween.
A holiday that once did not require special preparation, in the modern English-speaking world is celebrated on a large scale, involving solid spending. Ornamental garlands, front lawn decorations, elaborate expensive costumes, tons of candy - it all costs a pretty penny (i.e. a penny)!
The famous magician died on Halloween Eve after being punched in the stomach while performing a trick a week earlier. The blow led to peritonitis, and Houdini never went to the doctor, which was the reason for such a sad end.
Samhainophobia is a strong fear of Halloween that causes panic attacks in those who are prone to it. Other phobias of this season: wiccaphobia (fear of witches), phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), coimetrophobia (fear of cemeteries).
Initially, jack-o'-lanterns were made from scraped turnips, and earlier, not terrible faces were carved on turnips, but the faces of deceased relatives.
Despite the fact that Christmas and Thanksgiving are considered the main holidays of gluttony in the United States, Halloween confidently holds the palm in the field of all kinds of sweets, candies and chocolates. Children, be vigilant: 90% of parents admit that they eat sweets from a basket with collected sweets. And the most popular, both among adults and children, has been enjoying for many years ... the Snickers bar!

Halloween appeared in our country quite recently, but fell in love with most of the youth. Only adults continue to be skeptical about this holiday. As a teenager, I loved Halloween very much, because you could wear something that would look ridiculous on a daily basis and make up from the heart. It was very cool to look at the costumes of other guys, it surprises how a person's imagination is limitless.
As soon as October thirtieth arrived, I decided to dress up as a vampire and go to the school disco. I found a black gothic dress, the make-up was easy, because it was necessary to whiten the face and make up the lips red. School discos were always fun, high school students always tried to make each disco special.
When I came to school, I immediately recognized my friends, we gathered in one group and went to the dance floor. Time flew by quickly and then suddenly slow music began to play, all the boys immediately ran to the corners, and an unusually handsome man approached me, no one could recognize him, it was clear that he was a high school student, but whether our school, that was the question. His hair was gray, it seemed that it was like that by nature and paint had never touched it, and his eyes were ruby, or just the light from the garlands gave him such a shade of eyes. Then I fell in love for the first time, not even knowing the person, and when he spoke, his voice was so warm that I wanted to listen to him all the time.
He did not say any tenderness to me, only that I left school before ten in the evening. When I asked him why, he did not answer a word. The music suddenly ended and our hands separated, my stranger went nowhere, no one else saw him at the celebration. I continued to have fun with my friends, and the words of this guy did not come out of my head, I looked at the clock, the time was approaching ten. I decided to listen to the words, called my girlfriends with me, but they refused, as they were very passionate about the high school students who invited them to dance. I left the school and decided to wait until ten in the evening, if nothing happens, then I can easily come back.
And here I am standing on the street already cool and I'm waiting for the hands on the clock to show ten. And nothing happened, I took a step, and an explosion thundered, the flame was very large, it knocked out all the windows, the remains of my classmates flew out along with the windows, I left the building alone.
I still don't know who that guy was, but he saved my life. An ambulance and police arrived at the scene. My youthful psyche suffered greatly. Later, I learned that the firefighters never found out what caused the explosion, as if the flame itself formed and dispersed throughout the building. For several years I went to a psychologist to help me cope with my suffering: I often had nightmares.
Every month I came to the graves of my friends and did not understand why I alone survived from all the guys, and they lie underground. My soul became lonely, as all my best friends were not near me. But after a while everything passed, I began to live a different life, just resigned to what was in my life, now I have my own life, I have matured and I have a daughter who also goes to school. Only now I do not let her go on Halloween, because I think this holiday is bad. Still, it was not in vain that our parents said that only those who worship unclean forces celebrate Halloween, which is probably why everyone paid for it.
Therefore, I want to give advice to all parents: please, have conversations with your children, explain to them the meaning of the holidays, you should not throw off everything on youth and childish pranks. Teach your child to protect themselves evil spirits, guide them on the right path already at a young age. I sincerely wish you all not to face a similar situation. I also want everyone to be careful, especially on Halloween, because this day is dangerous for all people. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, it’s not for nothing that one proverb says: “God protects those who are careful.” And I would like to know who the gray-haired guy was, perhaps he was my guardian angel. But if he ever sees what I wrote, let him know that I am very grateful to him for that evening and would be happy to meet to find out where he got such information from.

YRKA - (glor.), the soul of a suicide, prowling at night in order to feed on "living warmth" in order to live out the unfinished. Yrka is afraid of fire.
Yrka in Slavic mythology is an evil night spirit with eyes on a dark face that glow like a cat's. It is especially dangerous on the night of Ivan Kupala and only in the field, because the goblin do not let him into the forest. Yrka becomes a suicide. Attacks lonely travelers, drinks their blood. Ukrut, his assistant, brings him naughty boys in a sack, from whom Yrka drinks life. He is very afraid of the fire, he does not approach the fire. To save yourself from it, you can’t look back, even if they call out in a familiar voice, don’t answer anything, say “stay away from me” three times or “grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, do you hear?”.
Old people said: “At night a man walks in the field, the distance between him and the house is different than during the day, and at night it always seems to a man that someone is following him, and it’s a disaster if he looks back! Then Yrka immediately runs up to him and starts fooling him! Either it will grab your hand and begin to turn the wheel around itself, or it will lengthen the road, or it will lead you astray. In order for Yra to come true, in no case should you look back, but will begin to call in a familiar voice, as if a wife or husband, or a brother, sister, mother - even less look back. You can’t even think about looking back, otherwise Yro will immediately jump up, in one jump he will be nearby and will start saying everything, even such that no one but God knows! There is no way to answer. It is best to say: “Church me, churn Ancestor!” three times, and then Yrka will fall behind. But if you answer, then he will start to run ahead, block the road, start in the field, away from home. It is better to read a prayer. “Our Father” helps a lot, because Jesus himself taught us to it. Yrka is not a devil, but a dark man, he is one of those who hanged themselves or cut their own throats with a knife, drowned themselves. At night - his will. At night, he walks along all roads, runs around, wherever he meets someone, to get drunk on the warmth of his living, in order to live out the unfinished. After all, he cut off his life, but he must live it. Here he is looking for. So that if someone spends the night in the field, it is necessary to kindle a fire. Yrka is afraid of fire, fire drives him away, because a sheep is on fire! And here wisdom is great and not everyone is told it. And now Yrka is running, and God forbid to see his dark face, his eyes, like a big cat, glow, look - he will fascinate you. If you already ran ahead, you can’t look into his eyes, but there will be frost on the back, you need to pray, you need to call Grandfather! It is necessary to say: “Grandfather, Great-grandfather, Grandfather, do you hear?” And in response, if it is heard: “I hear!” as if from afar, so Grandfather heard, and then Yrka would fall behind.
He is especially attached to Ivan Kupala. That's why the lights are lit on this night. Yrka Ivanov is afraid of fire. But most of all, Grandfather is afraid. If you tell him: “Leave me alone, otherwise I’ll tell Grandfather!”, He will immediately calm down. And if he starts asking questions or says something, then he must certainly answer: “And you, Yrka, do you know the Our Father?” At the same moment, he will cry, sob with bitter tears, and will be left behind.
“To call grandfather” means to call Isvarog, for his name was Dedo, Grandfather, Prade, Ancestor.
