Actually looking around the world Halloween has different connotation depending on region, some say it was Celtic new year, others once a year ancestors rise from the dead, many just go out and have fun.
Most children I know would prefer to learn about the mysterious Tikoloshe/Tokoloshe which they have heard about, perhaps not a bad idea to combine the little evil water spout with walking dead in a new years celebration. 😁
That would certainly give a SA twist on Halloween 🎃
Devil spirit you need more than a raised bed, afraid it has been hard at work over the last couple of years, yes it would be a strange twist.
