Halloween over Florence: THE MARKET OF GHOSTSSeverino lived in the bell tower on the hill — the one next to the ancient Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.Every evening, at sunset, he would lock the gate at the base of the entrance stairway and before climbing back up, he would pause to watch Florence color itself amber.And so he did today as well. The tourists had left. Time stopped and silence became sacred again.Through the rusted bars the city stood there motionless — perhaps since forever; with its red roofs, marble facades and the Arno flowing between its stones like a glittering silver ribbon.Domes and towers trembling with light, almost suspended in the air, as if everything and everyone were holding their breath waiting for twilight — and for the night that would cover it with shadows, stars and dreams.One more glance, then he turned on his transistor radio that he had found a few years ago and the notes of Duke Ellington's 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' filled the autumn evening.Silence may be sacred for the monks, but for Severino music was more so. Seven, his raven, didn't need to be called and at the first notes launched himself from the cypresses of the cemetery above, circled in front of the imposing facade of the Basilica and suddenly glided down along the stairway, to land gently on his left shoulder."Hey Seven, had a good day?""Yes. Could have been worse — Let's settle for that."At which, Severino smiled, turned up the radio's volume and began climbing resolutely toward le Porte del Cielo, while Jazz music echoed among the ancient stones.Nine years ago, on this same day in the month of October, the Olivetan monks residing in the Abbey found a child on the steps of the Basilica.He was there, wrapped in fog, silent as the night, eyes curious as the wind, without name and without past. They called him Severino — I don't know why — and he grew up among prayers and silences. He played in ancient rooms and discovered his world, surrounded by books, tombs, art and mysteries never revealed. At night a raven and a black cat accompanied him, illuminated by the moon, in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, wandering among imposing crypts and motionless statues that whispered memories and mysteries.But on Halloween nights the whispers transform into screams and endless laments. Secrets manifest themselves, legends become reality, and dreams disguised as nightmares knock on doors lit by candles. And that full moon night was precisely this night: October 31st — and remember, whether you believe in spirits or not, nothing changes: the ghosts will come.And Severino was up there, right there waiting for them to arrive. Leaning out the highest window of the bell tower, calm, looking at Florence from above. While Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight' played on his radio, he watched — tapping time with one foot and waited.At the second of the twelve strokes of the midnight bells, something began to happen. On the Arno formed a dense fog that pulsed with spectral green. It began to rise and slide slow but inexorable over the bridges like fingers of cold hands of impatient ghosts. It slid over the Ponte Vecchio and rolled through the streets of Oltrarno until reaching San Niccolò, where it climbed up the hill swallowing everything it found in its path.When it reached the gate of San Miniato, it slipped through the bars and climbed up the stairs until it covered, like a high luminous tide, the entire square in front of the church. It climbed up the marble facade and wrapped also the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, covering the entire hill in a cloak of mystery. Then slowly, as if by enchantment, the fog began to dissolve rising toward the sky and when the last cloud melted into the night air, the square was no longer empty.Small jack-o'-lanterns with flickering lights floated in the air smiling with teeth of fire. Black candles sprouted from nowhere, illuminating spectral stalls full of everything and nothing. Bats that seemed made of paper but were alive fluttered among the lights with wings of black velvet, while autumn leaves danced without wind, sparkling with gold and copper. Pumpkins of every shape filled the stands, some carved with funny faces, others covered with silver spiderwebs that shone like threads of moon. Witch hats swirled in the air like flying umbrellas rotating slow on themselves. Roasted chestnuts perfumed the air with cinnamon and mystery, while small dancing skeletons tinkled like ice bells.And finally in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, the Portal opened. Like every Halloween, for centuries, spirits from all over the world congregated in Florence for their annual meeting. A spectral river of ghosts poured into the square, each heading toward their own stall, and each with their impossible merchandise to sell or trade. The spirits had arrived and Severino observed them from above. A carnival of other worlds, made of sounds, colors and unimaginable stories.The deserted square had transformed into the Market of Ghosts. Stalls kept materializing from nowhere, carved and glowing pumpkins told each other stories of Halloweens past, present and future laughing malicious among the perfumes of lost memories, past centuries, tomorrow's candles and fallen stardust. The sky above the Tuscan hills and above Florence was full of ghosts arriving from everywhere to search for the unfindable. But no human eye could see this spectacle. No one except Severino, who descended from the tower enchanted by that spectacle and immersed himself in the crowd pulsating with otherworldly life. Seven circled above him observing with attentive eyes and cawing a bit nervous. Some ghosts looked at him with curiosity and recognized him. Someone greeted him and many others whispered his name in forgotten languages."There he is," murmured a witch from Prague."The child of time," sighed a Norman knight."He's returned, I told you so." laughed a Caribbean pirate.But Severino paid them no attention because there were ghosts selling: dreams of sleeping dragons, laughter of northern gnomes, tears of mermaids in love, the last breath of dinosaurs, shadows of unicorns. And even fears from past Halloweens — two for the price of one, but only for tonight. The ghost of a pirate who died during a boarding gone not so well shouted: "Storm bottles! Lightning in jars!" A witch from Salem whispered: "Love potions that last three lifetimes…" A medieval knight showed swords that cut fear, A Chinese spirit waved kites that fly into the past.The spectral crowd grew and thickened, laughed and bargained, while Severino walked amazed and fascinated among the impossible stalls of the Halloween Market. Seven cawed restless from above and Eleven, the black cat with orange eyes, jumped from one tent to another not losing sight of a single movement of Severino and the hundreds of souls circling around him.A ghost monk from an era that never existed saw him and smiled at him from behind a stall full of ancient radios adorned with mysterious symbols. Severino approached, fascinated."How wonderful! Do they all work?""Oh yes, certainly" replied the monk. "These transmit on the waves of past, present, and future time. But you don't need to buy one."The other ghosts stopped. They ceased selling, buying and bartering. They looked at Severino with respect and listened to what the collector of frequencies told him."The transistor radio you already have is more special than you think. But to discover its true secrets, you'll have to search in the ancient crypts where everything began."And suddenly the first lights of dawn began to illuminate the sky behind San Miniato with pink. In rush and hurry the ghosts said goodbye flying away in the wind. "Until next Halloween!" They told each other crossing in the sky. The stalls vanished. Lanterns and candles went out. The Market of Ghosts dissolved like a dream.Severino found himself alone in the empty square, Seven on his shoulder and Eleven sitting on the low wallLooking at Florence illuminating itself in the day of All Saints. He observed his old radio with new eyes and from the ancient crypts of San Miniato, something seemed to call him. He turned it on, turned up the volume and descended the stairway in time to Chet Baker's version of 'Autumn Leaves'.It was time to throw open the gate of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.___________________We will continue this story....

It's Halloween Week on A Cozy Christmas Podcast, and I'm celebrating by reading another spooky but cozy Victorian Christmas tale. This week, I'm reading “A Strange Christmas Game” by Charlotte Riddell — A brother and sister inherit an old, possibly haunted house whose previous owner met a mysterious end. After several nights of strange noises echoing through the halls, they decide to stay up on Christmas Eve to uncover the truth — and what they discover is most definitely not Santa Claus... Riddell wrote a perfect blend of cozy fireside storytelling and eerie suspense — the kind of story that will make you want to keep the lights on, but still smile at the warmth of a good old-fashioned ghostly yarn.

dels visitants, cruixien amb cada passa.En: The leaves beneath the feet of the visitors crunched with every step.Ca: L'aire fresc de la tardor portava l'aroma de castanyes torrades a la distància i els nens corrien disfressats amb bosses de paper plenes de caramels.En: The cool autumn air carried the aroma of roasted chestnuts in the distance, and children ran around in costumes with paper bags full of candies.Ca: Laia estava entusiasmada.En: Laia was excited.Ca: Havia passat hores elaborant el seu vestit de fantasma inspirat en les llegendes més antigues del castell.En: She had spent hours crafting her ghost costume inspired by the oldest legends of the castle.Ca: El seu vestit era tan realista que gairebé podia imaginar la història d'aquella dona desconeguda que, segons deien, encara rondava els passadissos pedregosos.En: Her costume was so realistic that she could almost imagine the story of that unknown woman who, they said, still roamed the stony corridors.Ca: Ramon, a prop de la porta d'entrada, discutia amb Mireia.En: Ramon, near the entrance door, was arguing with Mireia.Ca: "Això dels fantasmes són tonteries", deia Ramón, encara que el castell, amb les seves decoracions inquietants de Halloween, feia que el seu cor bategués una mica més fort.En: "This ghost stuff is nonsense," said Ramon, even though the castle, with its unsettling Halloween decorations, made his heart beat a little faster.Ca: "Deixa't portar per l'esperit de la nit!En: "Let yourself be carried away by the spirit of the night!"Ca: ", reia Mireia, amb una mirada pícara als ulls.En: laughed Mireia, with a mischievous look in her eyes.Ca: Ella havia preparat algunes bromes per a l'ocasió.En: She had prepared some pranks for the occasion.Ca: Els plans de Mireia incloïen espantar a la gent amb sorolls misteriosos.En: Mireia's plans included scaring people with mysterious noises.Ca: Mentrestant, Laia entrava al pati principal.En: Meanwhile, Laia entered the main courtyard.Ca: Va avançar entre els visitants que, al veure-la, començaven a murmurar emocionats i una mica espantats.En: She moved forward among the visitors who, upon seeing her, began to whisper excitedly and a bit scared.Ca: "És un fantasma!En: "It's a ghost!"Ca: ", va cridar un nen, abraçant-se a les cames de la seva mare.En: a child shouted, clutching his mother's legs.Ca: Laia, somrient sota el vel transparent que cobria la seva cara, pensava que ja estava a un pas de guanyar el concurs.En: Laia, smiling beneath the sheer veil covering her face, thought she was just a step away from winning the contest.Ca: Però, allò que començava com un joc, es va convertir en una escena inesperada.En: But what began as a game turned into an unexpected scene.Ca: Un grup de persones va començar a cridar i córrer en direcció oposada.En: A group of people started screaming and running in the opposite direction.Ca: Va ser tan intens que fins i tot Ramon va agafar la mà de Mireia i va començar a córrer amb ella.En: It was so intense that even Ramon grabbed Mireia's hand and started running with her.Ca: "Laia!En: "Laia!Ca: És massa!En: It's too much!"Ca: ", va poder escoltar a Mireia abans que es perdessin en el caos.En: Mireia could be heard before they got lost in the chaos.Ca: Laia no sabia si revelar-se o seguir gaudint de l'efecte del seu vestit.En: Laia didn't know whether to reveal herself or continue enjoying the effect of her costume.Ca: Això va durar fins que, mentre intentava calmar a una senyora que estava a punt de desmaiar-se, el seu vestit es va enganxar a una porta.En: This lasted until, while trying to calm a lady who was about to faint, her costume got caught on a door.Ca: El vestit es va esquinçar, revelant la seva cara divertida i descarada.En: The costume tore, revealing her playful and cheeky face.Ca: "Gent!En: "People!Ca: Soc jo, Laia!En: It's me, Laia!"Ca: ", va exclamar, rient.En: she exclaimed, laughing.Ca: Els crits es van apagar de sobte, i el murmuri va donar pas a una ovació divertida.En: The screams suddenly stopped, and the murmuring gave way to cheerful applause.Ca: Fins i tot Ramon va respirar profundament, alleujat.En: Even Ramon breathed deeply, relieved.Ca: Amb el temps, les coses es van calmar i el jurat va anunciar la guanyadora del concurs.En: In time, things calmed down and the judges announced the winner of the contest.Ca: Laia va pujar a l'escenari, amb algunes parts del seu vestit encara enganxades a l'ormeig.En: Laia went up on stage, with some parts of her costume still attached to the doorknob.Ca: Va rebre el premi al millor vestit, mentre admetia que havia après una lliçó important.En: She received the prize for the best costume while admitting she had learned an important lesson.Ca: "Potser no cal ser tan realista sempre", va dir, amb un somriure ample.En: "Perhaps it's not always necessary to be so realistic," she said, with a wide smile.Ca: Els llums del castell es van encendre, i la festa va continuar en un ambient més relaxat.En: The castle lights turned on, and the party continued in a more relaxed atmosphere.Ca: A la fi de la nit, Laia, Ramon i Mireia van baixar junts per les antigues escaletes.En: At the end of the night, Laia, Ramon, and Mireia went down the ancient stairs together.Ca: L'un sostenia el premi, l'altre una bossa de caramels, i l'altre, el cor ple de nous plans per

Spirit Switchboard Episode #131 Oct. 24th, 2025 Topic: Soul Planning & Celtic Halloween Stories Guest: Tina Beckham This week, we welcome Soul Plan Practitioner & Intuitive Guide Tina Beckham for a powerful conversation on soul planning—why we choose our lessons, our path, and even our challenges before birth. Tina will decode the purpose behind our earthly journey and how understanding your Soul Plan can unlock clarity, direction, and transformation. Just in time for Samhain, she also shares eerie and enchanting Celtic Halloween stories passed down through her ancestral lineage. Tune in live—this episode bridges destiny, mysticism, and ancestral magic. Guest Bio: Tina Beckham is a Soul Plan Practitioner & Intuitive Guide. Tina helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves through Soul Plan readings. A transformative interpretive system rooted in ancient Hebrew Numerology and Gematria. She achieves this by decoding the unique blueprint each soul consciously chose before incarnating into this lifetime where she provides clarity on worldly and spiritual challenges, innate talents, life goals, and the individual's Soul Destiny. Through her work, clients gain profound self-understanding that empowers them to step confidently into their purpose, navigate their incarnated lessons, and make tangible, positive changes in their daily lives. Tina also supports families and businesses through strategic name alignments, relationship insights, and sacred baby naming. Born into a lineage of gifted Celtic matriarchs, Tina's path as a psychic intuitive and healer has been lifelong. Her journey through diverse human and esoteric challenges has deepened her commitment to helping others understand their current incarnation's greater meaning. With years of study, lived experience, and spiritual questing, Tina now guides clients to accept who they chose to be, embrace their agreed-upon life lessons, and harness their talents to fulfil both their worldly and spiritual destiny, therefore, by remembering and understanding their authentic selves and earthly mission they can facilitate authentic, lasting transformation.

Some scarry, unsettling stories to get you ready for the end of this month. As far as I know, these are all true, told to me by the people involved. 

 There are zombies walking among us — but not the kind you've seen in horror films. These monsters don't eat brains. They drain confidence, independence, and joy. This Halloween episode of An Ounce exposes the terrifying truth: how the “zombie pathogen” infects abusers, how they hunt, what they feed on, and—most importantly—how their prey can break free.In this episode:• The hidden origin of these zombies.• How they stalk and select their prey.• The slow harvest of confidence and joy.• Why they lash out when threatened.• The cure that starves the monster.

Happy Spooky Month everyone! As the autumn weather finally arrives here in Iowa, I am in the mood to read some excellent Christmas ghost stories that are perfect for the Halloween season. Today's story is called Sir Hugo's Prayer by G. B. Burgin. It's a humorous tale of the ghostly Sir Hugo and his wife who have been forced to haunt the family grounds. Then one Christmas Eve, a young lady arrives with two potential suitors who are seeking to win her affection. Will Sir Hugo be able to lend a (ghostly) helping hand? Also, I take a very quick look at the Saint behind the song "Good King Wenceslas" - which has also has a connection to our story. Who knew the name "Wenceslas" would be so hard to pronounce...  I hope you enjoy today's funny and festive and slightly spooky story!   Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #podcast #Christmas #christmaspodcast #halloween #halloweenstories #christmasstories #ghoststories

Welcome!

It's Spooky Season—prime time for a wall-to-wall Halloween horror binge. This full audio compilation from the Weekly Spooky horror podcast packs 9 scary stories of monsters, urban legends, ghostly vengeance, and October-night mayhem. Hit play for a cinematic mix of pumpkin curses, headless riders, haunted towns, and parties from hell—perfect for late-night listening, trick-or-treat routes, or fall drives.What's inside (in order):Mischief Night: The Halloween Invasion — Shane Migliavacca: A touring punk band limps into a silent town on Halloween…where the “locals” aren't human anymore. Survival horror across a diner, alleys, and rooftops before the bridge out.Dullahan — Morgan Moore: A new kid—eerily resembling a condemned witch-trial figure—finds himself hunted on a moonlit path by a headless rider bent on collecting. Creepy folklore turned chase-night terror.Origin of the Pumpkin Man — Charles Campbell: Middle-school hijinks at the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee escalate from pranks to explosions…and seed the birth of a grim valley legend. 80s Halloween vibes with a sharp fuse.The Grinner — Henrique Couto: A Halloween-obsessed kid, a coveted VHS, and a scarecrow with a warped smile guarding a candy bowl at a decaying hall. Greed, dares, and a grin you can't forget.Ghost in the Graveyard — Rob Fields: Strickfield extends trick-or-treating to a full week; three friends push to midnight and stir up unfinished business from a summer of horrors. Small-town tradition meets the supernatural.Tricks and Treats — Keith Tomlin: Jack Scratch—an infernal “talent scout”—walks a Midwestern Halloween to sample blood, death, and pain. Interlinked vignettes of wicked people getting the justice they deserve.The Night Stocker — Shane Migliavacca: First night on the job, Halloween shift, “special shipment” in the back, and wolves circling in the parking lot. A grocery aisle turns slasher-stage after hours.Strife of the Party — David O'Hanlon: Glitzy corporate Halloween gala, FX-artist costume flexing, billionaires behaving badly—then the masks come off and the body count climbs. A savage social-horror romp.Burn on the Bayou — L.F. Falconer: A famed Halloween host stages his most ambitious haunted soirée at a ruined manor—while a lover's plot to “solve” a marriage collides with real ghosts and older fires. Gothic, lush, and lethal.Curl up with a pumpkin spice (or something stronger), turn the lights down, and let October do what October does.
