Veil of Fire: The Ancient Origins of Halloween
32 Menit
15 November 2025
Step into a night where hilltop fires smoke and stubble fields whisper. Eric Extreme guides you through the birth of Halloween, from the fragile veil of Samhain to the carved lanterns of Stingy Jack and the masks that once warded the living from the dead.
We trace the journey of customs across oceans and centuries: immigrant hands carving pumpkins, children in guises bargaining for soul cakes, and the slow shift from sacred ritual to suburban spectacle. And reason is poised to peek through the cracks, revealing what lies beyond.
Join me as I seek answers in the shadows, explore the whispers that echo in the void, and listen for the faint signals that shape our sense of the supernatural. This is Paranormal Declassified, The Spirit Files, from Mount Washington Valley Spirit Paranormal Investigators. Follow the flicker and decide where mystery ends and science begins.

As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He explores the history of the paranormal from around the world. He also discusses the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations.
With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how the world views the paranormal and how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."
