All Hallow's Eve

What makes people want to be scared?

Carnival rides

Haunted houses

Ghost stories

Scary movies

It's almost as if we have a vestigial desire, leftover from our distant ancestors, to still conquer the unknown, or prove something?

Competence

Heroism

Adrenalin junkies

Could it be that we are such Doubting Thomases, such terrified self-preservationists, that we need to find proof of life after death -- even if it is not good?
