#640 Reverend, What is down the well?..."Foggy Swamp"


Whether it is me getting into a Halloween mood or my moods in general are full steam ahead with emotions, with everything going on in my life, I like many of you all could not resist to await the clock count down when Neva and Keon Zenga announced their new sim called 'Foggy Swamp'.

Foggy Swamp has just opened it's doors and is hauntingly magical, which has opened just in time for Halloween.

Excert from Neva's page:-

"As your feet threads past the gates into the Foggy Swamp, be warned that it is the one night where the line between the living and the dead fades as the spirits of both the departed and the vengeful ghouls and fairies of the Otherworld roams the earth during this day with a single mission - Chaos!

 
Be wary to stay on the path through the dark and foggy village without swaying, else you will never find your way back. As it leads you through the old and forgotten Victorian settlement into the graveyard and further on to the pagan shrine, you can still hear the faint whispers of incantations from the spirits of the last hundred years amongst us. Their chilling presence lingers inside the Hotel that lays upon the rocks, guarding the shore, waiting for new intrusion on the land. Dare you be one of them?
 
We hope to see you all in the Foggy Swamp during the next 2 months, to have a great time exploring and enjoy the scenery as we tried to do our best in giving you a special Halloween feeling!"

So what are you waiting for, come take a walk to our destination for today: -

#224 Halloween Sweetness with 1 Hundred, Elephante Poses, Pure Poison and NS


When the time comes each fall to stock up on loads of trick or treat candy, to find an outfit and trot around door to door demanding treats from your neighbours. You can thank a culture from around 2000 years ago for this annual ritual. 
 
So how did this bizarre practice of passing out Halloween candy to any stranger who asked for it get started in the first place?
 
Irish and English immigrants coming to America brought some of their old world traditions with them. In those times, people gave 'soul cakes' to poor beggars and later disguised children to go a  guising carrying lamps fashioned from turnips not pumpkins.
 
Soon the practice of dressing up and going house to house asking for food or money on the eve of All - Hallows took hold in America and so it is today being the 21st Century, that the tradition continues. So don't eat all the Candy at once, from the Candy Fair and save some if you can for only a few days more.
