Long before candy and costumes, before plastic skeletons and porch lights, there was Samhain. A night when the veil between worlds grew thin, and the living shared space with the dead.

In this episode, Aimee takes you back to the roots of Halloween - through the ancient Celtic harvest rituals, the Roman festivals that reshaped them, and the Christian rebranding that turned Samhain into All Hallows’ Eve. From sacred bonfires and whispered offerings to the rise of trick-or-treating and ghost stories, we trace how one pagan night of remembrance became the world’s favorite celebration of fear.

It’s a story of death, rebirth, and the way humans have always danced with the dark... not to escape it, but to understand it.

Because Halloween isn’t just a holiday. It’s a memory.

Halloween has always blurred the line between the living and the lost. In 1977, nine-month-old Nima Louise Carter vanished from her crib and was found days later, her tiny life stolen by someone she knew. In 1980, a young woman known only as “Orange Socks” was discovered along a Texas highway — murdered, unidentified, and forgotten by everyone except the wind. And in 2001, Cindy Song, a college student celebrating Halloween, disappeared into the night and was never seen again.

Three different decades. Three unsolved mysteries. Each woman connected by the same haunting question: how can someone vanish on a night when the whole world is watching?

Join Aimee as she traces the patterns of fear, folklore, and failed justice behind these Halloween disappearances — stories that remind us the real horrors don’t always wear masks.

Halloween night, 1974. A father hands his son one last piece of candy before bed - Pixy Stix laced with cyanide. Within hours, an innocent holiday becomes a national nightmare, and the legend of poisoned Halloween candy is born.

Across the country, in a quiet Connecticut suburb, a teenage girl named Martha Moxley is found brutally murdered in her own front yard. The case would spiral through decades of privilege, deceit, and small-town secrets before the truth ever came close to surfacing.

Two stories. Two faces of horror. One born from greed. The other from betrayal.

In this debut episode of Ghoul Interrupted, Aimee takes you from the fluorescent glow of Halloween night to the dark heart of suburban America - exploring how trust, innocence, and fear can turn deadly under the right light.

Because sometimes the real monsters live just across the street.
