10 Easy DIY Halloween Pranks 

1. Freeze gummy eyeballs in ice cubes, then add them to your victim’s drink.
2. Buy cheap hair extensions the same color as your target’s hair and scatter them around her pillow during the night.
3. Unscrew a shower head and dry the inside of it thoroughly; then pour in a packet of red powdered drink mix and replace the shower head. The unlucky person who turns on the faucet will be showered with fake blood.
4. Place a rubber bat, rat, or snake in the toilet and close the lid.
5. Dip your finger or a cotton swab in some liquid dish soap, and write a creepy invisible message on the bathroom mirror, like “I’m watching you.” When your victim takes a shower and the mirror fogs up, your words will mysteriously appear.
6. Buy a kit to make caramel apples at the grocery story, but substitute the apples with onions. Cover them with nuts or coconut to complete the disguise.
7. Dress up like a scarecrow, witch, ghost, or mummy (be sure to cover your hands and face) and plant yourself along the path to your front door after dark, as if you are a decorative dummy. Stay as still as possible until trick-or-treaters approach; then jump forward to welcome them.
8. We love this fun idea from eHow Crafts: Measure half the length of a doorway with a piece of string and cut it to that length. Tie a plastic spider to one end and tape the other end to the center of the door frame. Now rest the spider on the edge of the top of the door and leave the door slightly ajar. Your creepy crawly will drop down on the next person who walks through the door.
9. In the bottom of a Tupperware container or cardboard box, cut a bowl big enough to put your hand through and cover it with tissue paper. Fill the bowl or box with candy. Offer a treat to an unsuspecting victim, and as he reaches in, pop your hand through the tissue paper to grab his hands.
10. This one’s for a generous prankster: Go trick-or-treating, but instead of taking candy from a neighbor’s bowl, put candy into his bowl. Quickly turn and walk away

    10 個簡單的DIY萬聖節整人法

    1.把眼球軟糖冰在冰塊裡，然後加到你要整的人飲料理
    2.買跟你想要整的人一樣髮色的便宜髮片，然後在晚上撒在他的枕頭上
    3.把蓮蓬頭螺絲拆下來，然後將裡面全部擦乾，再倒入一袋混有紅色粉末的水，然後把水龍頭接回。把水龍頭打開的倒楣鬼就會淋到假血水了
    4.把橡膠蝙蝠、假老鼠或者假蛇放進馬桶，然後蓋上蓋子
    5.用你的手或者棉花沾上肥皂水，然後在浴室的鏡子上寫上可怕的留言，像是”我正在看你”。當被整的人洗完澡鏡子上都是霧的時候，那些原本看不見的可怕留言就會神奇的出現了。
    6.從雜貨店買做焦糖蘋果的工具，但是把蘋果換城洋蔥。把洋蔥用核果或者可可豆裝飾好來假扮
    7.假扮成稻草人、女巫、鬼或者木乃伊(確保你的頭和臉都有蓋好)然後天黑之後，在通往前門的路用盆栽掩飾好你自己，就像你是裝飾的木乃伊。站好不要動，直到有人來玩”不給糖就搗蛋”，然後跳出來歡迎他們。
    8.我們超愛這個從eHow Crafts得來的有趣點子。測量門一半的高度，用線裁出長度。線的一邊綁上假蜘蛛，另外一端用膠袋黏在門頂，然後把蜘蛛放在門沿，然後不要把門關緊，留一條小縫。你的可怕蜘蛛會掉在下一個走進門的人頭上
    9.在塑膠容器或者後紙箱底部剪一個碗底大小，能讓你的手深出去的開口，然後用衛生紙蓋住。把碗或者盒子裝滿糖果，然後假裝要請不注意的人吃。等他把手伸過去的時候，再把你的手伸出來抓他的手。
    10.這個點子是給大方的人用的: 去玩不給糖就搗蛋，但不是去跟鄰居拿糖，而是把糖果放進他的碗，然後趕快跑開。

Top 25 Haunted Places Around the World
The Halloween of our youth may have been more about dressing up like cartoon characters and prancing around the neighborhood asking for candy, but we want more from our holidays once we grow up. Plenty of destinations around the world make for great places to spend Halloween, sometimes simply because they’re notorious for excellent parties — but if you prefer to focus on the more hair-raising aspects of the holiday, this list of haunted places around the world is for you.

25個世界上鬧鬼最兇的地方
小時候的萬聖節可能就是變裝成卡通人物然後遊街要糖果，但當我們越來越大時，就會想要從節日當中多了解些什麼。很多地方都是過萬聖節的好去處，有些只因為他們的派對很出名，但假如你想著重在那些會讓你寒毛豎起的地點，以下這些世界著名的鬧鬼勝地是你不能錯過的!
1. New Orleans, USA

New Orleans is a city of ghosts and vampires, and even if you don’t believe in those legends there’s no getting around the city’s famous history of voodoo and black magic. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how one of the above-ground cemeteries — the so-called “Cities of the Dead” — would make a fine setting for a ghost story.

1. 美國紐奧良
   紐奧良是ㄧ個住著鬼魂和吸血鬼的城市，假如你不相信這些傳說，這個城市著名的歷史當中，沒有不和巫毒和黑魔法相關的。從那些地上的墓碑看來不難想像這個被稱為”死亡之城”的地方，多適合拍攝鬼故事。
   2. Venice, Italy
   
   Another city that seems tailor-made for ghost stories and murder mysteries is Venice, with its dense warren of narrow alleys which sometimes dead-end on a canal impossible to see until it’s almost too late. Add to that the smaller islands in the lagoon that served as mass graves during Venice’s many bouts with the plague (and one island which was once home to an insane asylum, now abandoned) and you’ve set the stage for a few sleepless nights.
   義大利威尼斯
   另一個像是專門來寫鬼故事和謀殺奇案的城市就是威尼斯，擁擠的街道伴隨著幾乎走到最後才看的到的運河為盡頭。再加上威尼斯鼠疫時，在瀉湖上的ㄧ些小島被當作萬人塚(其中一個小島還曾是瘋人院，現在已荒廢)，你可以開始想像失眠的夜晚了。
   3. Singapore
   
   Former hospitals often make great places to find ghosts, and the Old Changi Hospital in Singapore is no exception. It’s widely thought of as the most haunted place in Asia. The former military hospital closed in 1997, but stories of ghost sightings in the compound date back to the 1940s, not long after it was first built. In particular, the mortuary and a room some call a “torture chamber” are said to be the scariest spaces in the hospital.
   新加坡
   早期的醫院常是鬼魂聚集的地方，而新加坡的悅樂樟宜醫院也不例外。他被廣為認定是亞洲最鬧鬼的地方。這間軍用醫院在1997關閉，但他的鬼故事可以回朔到1940，就在建院不久時。特別是被稱為"行刑室”的太平間和ㄧ個房間，據說是全醫院最可怕的地方。
   4. Chicago, USA
   
   Chicago has seen its share of tragedies, from the devastating fire that tore through the city in 1871 to a maritime disaster that killed 800 people in 1915, to the corruption and crime carried out by gangsters like Al Capone in the 1920s. Plenty of ghosts may still be haunting the Windy City, like the spirits of the more than 800 people who were killed in a fire at the Oriental Theatre in 1903, or the ghosts of those slain in the War of 1812 at the site of Fort Dearborn.
   美國芝加哥
   芝加哥的悲劇從1871年焚城的惡火，到1915年奪走800條生命的船難，然後是1920像艾爾·卡彭等幫派份子帶來的腐敗和犯罪。太多鬼魂至今可能還出沒於這座風城，就像1903年東風劇院ㄧ場大火造成的800多個亡魂，或者1812年在迪爾伯恩要塞戰爭中陣亡的鬼魂。
   5. Salem, USA
   
   Salem, Massachusetts has a long-standing reputation as a hotbed for sorcery — or at least that’s what the locals thought they were trying to get rid of with the infamous Salem Witch Trials in 1692. However misguided the townspeople were, their actions have led Salem to bill itself as a modern-day “Witch City,” with many tours available about the historic trials. Salem also offers a “Haunted Passport,” good from October through April, encouraging visitors to come back after Halloween to see everything else for which the area is known.
   美國賽勒姆
   賽勒姆，麻塞諸塞州有一個留傳以久的巫術溫床，或者至少那是當地人ㄧ直想擺脫的稱號，在1962年ㄧ樁惡名昭彰的女巫審判案。然而，被誤導的村民卻把賽勒姆塑造成今日的”女巫城”，眾多遊客到這個歷史性的審判地造訪。賽勒姆在4月到10月也提供了”鬼屋護照”，鼓勵遊客在萬聖節之後重新拜訪這個地區。
   6. London, England

   

   London offers sights for serious fright-seekers as well as those with weaker stomachs. If you’re not quite prepared to hear about real-life mass murderer Jack the Ripper (who was never caught) or the many who lost their heads (literally) in the Tower of London, then perhaps the Madame Tussauds “Chamber of Horrors” exhibit or the sometimes-silly (but also kind of scary) London Dungeon is more your speed. Or visit 50 Berkeley Square, haunted by a girl who committed suicide there and whose ghost has scared a number of other people to death.
   英國倫敦
   倫敦的景點能滿足ㄧ心尋求驚嚇或者膽子不夠大的人。假如你還沒準備好聽聽開膛手傑克(至今仍未被捕)大屠殺，或者在羅敦鐵塔斷頭真實故事，或許杜莎夫人蠟像館的恐怖商會展出，還是有時看起來愚蠢的倫敦監獄會適合你。不然參觀伯克利廣場，ㄧ個因為女孩自殺，其鬼魂嚇死了許多人的鬧鬼勝地。
   7. Mexico

   

   Dolls may provide comfort and joy to some, but when you see thousands of them hanging from trees on the so-called Island of the Dolls in Mexico, you might think about them differently. Not far from Mexico City, this island was home for almost 50 years to a man who moved there for its remoteness — only then learning of the young girl who drowned just off the island in the 1920s. Her spirit told him to gather dolls for her to play with, which he did until his death in 2001. Now, the Island of the Dolls is one of the area’s strangest (and reportedly most haunted) tourist attractions.
   墨西哥
   洋娃娃可能帶給ㄧ些人安慰和歡樂，但當你看到數千個洋娃娃垂釣在墨西哥的樹上時，你可能會有不同的想法。距離墨西哥城不遠處，這個島曾被ㄧ個男人孤僻的居住了50年，後來有個年輕女孩在1920年代淹死在那。她的鬼魂告訴男人要將洋娃娃聚集起來陪她玩，他就ㄧ直這麼做直到2001年去世。這座娃娃島是這個地區觀光勝地中最奇怪(也是遽聞最多鬧鬼事件)的地方

   8. Orlando, USA
      

   A city home to both Disney World and the Universal Orlando Resort hardly seems like a place that would be haunted. But in addition to haunted spots in downtown Orlando — like the Church Street Station and the Greenwood Cemetery, both of which have spurred ghost sightings — the city’s amusement parks are great places to spend Halloween. Universal holds their annual Halloween Horror Nights in September and October, and Disney World has the Haunted Mansion. Not only that, many claim to have seen ghosts around Disney in places besides the Haunted Mansion.
   美國奧蘭多
   奧蘭多環球影城和迪士尼世界的所在，很難想像會鬧鬼。但除了奧蘭多市中心有鬼魂出沒，例如: 教堂街車站和綠樹林公墓，兩處都可看到鬼的蹤跡。這座城市的遊樂公園是過萬聖節的好去處。環球在9月和10月舉辦年度萬聖節驚魂夜，而迪士尼世界則有幽靈鬼屋。不僅如此，很多人聲稱在幽靈鬼屋附近都見過鬼。

   9. Paris, France

   

   How can one of the world’s most romantic cities also be haunted?  It may sound crazy, but Paris is home to a number of haunted spots.  One of the most famous is the city’s catacombs, a network of tunnels underneath Paris’ streets which became a storage facility for human bones when the city’s cemeteries were getting overcrowded. Visitors today can get tours of the catacombs, walking past thousands upon thousands of bones. Other haunted places in Paris include the Garnier opera house, which served as the setting for “The Phantom of the Opera.”

   法國巴黎
   世界上最浪漫的城市之ㄧ怎麼可能鬧鬼呢?  聽起來或許瘋狂，但巴黎是很多鬧鬼勝地的起始地。最有名的就是城市的地下墓穴，位在巴黎街道下的渠道網，由於城市墓地過度擁擠而用來儲存人骨的場所。如今遊客可以到地下墓穴參觀，行經數千具的人骨。其他鬧鬼的地方也包含了巴黎歌劇院，也就是歌劇魅影的場景。

   10. Las Vegas, USA
       

 Las Vegas knows how to party, and the city is the place to be if you’re looking for the grown-up version of costume parties, where inventive cocktails have replaced candy bars. But Sin City also has its fair share of haunted places. Ghosts have been sighted at several hotels, including the Luxor, MGM Grand and Circus Circus. The Flamingo Hotel is said to be haunted by legendary Vegas personality Bugsy Siegel.

美國拉斯維加斯
拉斯維加斯人知道如何舉辦派對，而假如你尋求用創意雞尾酒代替糖果棒的成人版變裝派對，拉斯維加斯就是你要找的地方。但這個罪惡之城也有鬧鬼的地方。很多間飯店，包含盧克索、MGM和馬戲團飯店。雙鶴康年大酒店據說被拉斯維加斯傳奇人物巴格西席格爾糾纏許久。

11. Tokyo, Japan
    
    Not far from Tokyo there’s a former family home that became the setting for a horror video game, owing to its haunted reputation. Legend holds that the Himuro family living in the home engaged in a bizarre ritualistic murder roughly every 50 years in order to ward off bad spirits. Whether or not it’s true (and it’s likely not), the Himuro Mansion retains its scary appeal thanks to ghost sightings and inclusion in the Fatal Frame video game.
    日本東京
    離東京不遠處早前有一個家庭因為鬧鬼而成為恐怖電玩遊戲的場景。傳言有樂町ㄧ家每50年會遭遇一次奇異的謀殺以驅走惡靈。無論是不是真的(很可能不是)，感謝鬼出沒和零系列電玩，有樂町大廈維持了其恐怖的外表。
12. Edinburgh, Scotland
    The picturesque and historic city of Edinburgh is also one of the most haunted places in Scotland. Among the city’s famous haunted locations is Mary King’s Close, a historic street (now completely enclosed underground) where those suffering from the plague are said to have been sealed up to protect the rest of the city.  Another underground location, the Edinburgh Vaults, once held pubs and shops as well as hidden storage rooms. Ghost sightings in recent years have made the vaults a popular tourist attraction and, during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, some of the vaults are used for shows.
    愛丁堡，蘇格蘭
    別具風味又歷史悠久的愛丁堡也是蘇格蘭最著名的鬧鬼勝地之ㄧ。其中最有名的地點就是瑪莉金巷，ㄧ個歷史悠久的街道(現在已完全封閉於地底)，據說於瘟疫時被完全封閉以保護城市李未被感染的地方。另一處地下街是愛丁伯格地窖，曾經是酒吧、商店和隱藏的儲物室。近年因為鬼魂出沒使得地窖成為愛丁堡國際藝穗節中最受歡迎的觀光勝地，ㄧ些地窖也因此展出。
13. Benuos Aires, Argentina
    Like many cities, Buenos Aires has a beautiful and historic cemetery which is also a major tourist attraction — and haunted. A young woman who was mistakenly buried alive is said to walk through the Recoleta Cemetery to this day, uncovering newly buried bodies to make sure they’re actually dead. Other haunted spots in Buenos Aires include the Torre del Fantasma, where the occupant plunged to her death from the tower (and whose ghost is still sometimes seen in the window), and the tunnels of the city’s Line A subway, where many ghosts have been reported over the years.
    阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯
    如同許多城市，布宜諾斯艾利斯有個漂亮起列史悠久的墓園，同時也是ㄧ個主要的觀光地，而且鬧鬼。ㄧ個年輕女子誤被活埋，據說直到今日還會在雷科萊塔公墓上走動，翻出新下葬的屍體以證實他們確實死亡。在布宜諾斯艾利斯其他鬧鬼的地方還包含幽靈塔，曾有女子失足從塔上掉落(至今鬼魂有時還會出現在窗外)，還有城市的隧道地鐵過去幾年也常傳說有鬼出現。
14. New York City, USA
    
    New York City may be the city that never sleeps, but that doesn’t mean the ghosts don’t come out. Visitors to the Algonquin Hotel say they’ve seen ghosts of the writers who used to meet there. John Lennon is said to haunt the Dakota, where he was killed in 1980. The man who built Radio City Music Hall is sometimes seen on opening nights at the theater. And the so-called “House of Death” is haunted by the more than 20 people who died in the Manhattan brownstone, including former occupant Mark Twain.
    美國紐約
    紐約或許是不夜城，卻不代表沒有鬼魂出現。阿爾岡昆酒店的遊客就說他們看過作者的鬼魂常齊聚一起。約翰藍儂據說出沒於達科他，也就是他1980被殺害的地方。建造廣播城音樂廳的人有時會出現在戲院開播的晚上。而有死亡之屋傳言的屋子，據說被20多個死於曼哈頓褐石別墅的鬼魂所擾，其中也包含了馬克吐溫。
15. Australia
    
    Former asylums always make for seriously haunted locations, and two in Australia fit the bill perfectly. The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, in operation for more than 125 years, is said to be haunted by the ghosts of several patients who died there. The Ararat Lunatic Asylum, also known as Aradale, was in operation for roughly 140 years — during which time 13,000 people are said to have died there. Aradale is currently being used as the campus for the Australian College of Wine, while Beechworth remains unused since its closing in 1995. Both are open for ghost tours.
    澳洲
    早期的避難所常被認為是鬼魂出沒之地，澳洲的兩個地方剛好符合這個說法。比奇渥斯精神病院，經營了125年之久，據聞被死在那的病患鬼魂所擾。澳洲阿馬代爾瘋人院，約經營了140年，其間有13,000人傳聞死於那。阿馬代爾於最近1995年關閉，兩個地方都開放尋鬼。
16. Rome, Italy
    
    Rome is often called the Eternal City, and some say this holds true for the ghosts who haunt the city, too. Rome’s catacombs and the Capuchin Crypt are creepy even if they’re not haunted, what with all the human bones on display. Ghosts are said to haunt the Castel Sant’Angelo, not to mention the locations of the murders that take place in Dan Brown’s “Angels and Demons” novel — all fiction, but still somewhat chilling, especially at night.
    義大利羅馬
    羅馬常被稱為永恆之城，有人說這個稱譽也代表了這個城市永遠與鬼相處的事實。羅馬的地下墓地和骷髏教堂即使沒有鬧鬼，光看人骨的陳列都很驚悚。聖天使城堡都鬧鬼了，更別說是丹布朗小說天使與魔鬼裡的謀殺地點，雖說是小說，但還是有點陰涼，特別是在晚上.
17. Cartago, Costa Rica
    
    The Duran Sanatorium outside San Jose, Costa Rica, has been closed since 1973 and is yet another example of an abandoned hospital being a hotspot for ghosts. Many patients at the sanitorium were being treated for tuberculosis, while other wings housed the mentally ill. In its later years, the campus was converted into a prison before being abandoned entirely. Visitors have reported seeing ghosts of a nun who once cared for TB patients and a young girl who died of TB in the sanitorium.
    哥斯大黎加卡塔戈
    杜蘭療養院，哥斯大黎加聖荷西的外面，自從1973已經關閉，又是ㄧ個荒廢醫院的鬧鬼勝地。很多病患在療養院染上結核病，還有其他病患則是心理疾病。晚期，院區在整個荒廢前變成監獄。遊客曾說看過修女在照顧結核病患，而ㄧ個年輕女子就因染上結核病死於療養院。
18.  Savannah, USA
    
    If you’ve already read “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” you won’t be surprised to see Savannah on this list. (And if you haven’t read it, do so before you visit Savannah.) This city calls itself the most haunted in America, and one of the houses in Savannah — the Hampton-Lillibridge House — has been called the country’s most haunted
    美國薩凡納
    假如你已讀過”善惡花園"，你就不會驚訝看到薩凡納在名單上了。(假如你還沒讀過，在你造訪薩凡納時最好先看一下)。這個城市自稱是美國最鬧鬼的城市，而在薩凡納的其中ㄧ間房子-漢普頓-莉利橋屋，更被稱為世紀鬼屋。
19. Barbados
    
    Legend has it that a cemetery in Christ Church, Barbados, is haunted, but it’s not a place where people have reported ghost sightings — only the evidence that something paranormal is taking place. A tightly sealed burial vault in the cemetery, called the Chase Vault, held lead coffins of deceased family members. The local story goes that each time the vault was opened in the 19th century to bury someone, all the coffins were in different places than they’d been the last time the vault was opened.
    巴巴多斯
    傳說巴巴多斯的基督教堂有鬼魂出沒，但人們從沒看過，只有超自然現象發生過。ㄧ個密封的穹窿形墓穴，稱做翠斯之墓，放置了已故壓族成員的棺木。當地流傳19世紀每次地窖打開要埋葬某人時，每具棺木在和上次打開地窖時不同的地方出現。
20.  Bay Area, USA
    
    The San Francisco area is home to many stories of ghost sightings. Alcatraz is said to be haunted by prisoners who died there, the Queen Anne Hotel is haunted by a woman who tucks guests into bed at night, a Safeway grocery store built on a former baseball field is sometimes haunted by ghostly players, and a house in Chinatown is haunted by a group of Chinese women who hid there to keep from being sold into prostitution — but then died in the 1906 earthquake. Another haunted highlight of the Bay Area is the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, the proprietress of which continued building onto the house until she died, supposedly to escape the ghosts haunting her. Today, people say it’s her ghost that roams the endless halls.
    美國舊金山灣區
    舊金山是很多鬼故事的始源地。惡魔島據說就被很多死去的囚犯纏住，安妮女王飯店被ㄧ個將顧客塞進床的女子糾纏，ㄧ間前身為棒球場地的美國雜貨店深受球員的鬼魂折磨，有ㄧ群藏身在中國城ㄧ間房子以躲避被賣做妓女的中國女子們，因1906年的地震去世而佔領那間房子。另一個灣區著名的鬧鬼地就是聖荷西的温徹斯特神秘屋，女屋主直到死亡前都還持續建造屋子，據說是要捕捉那些糾纏她的鬼魂。今日，人們說她的鬼魂還遊走在無盡的走廊上。
21. Rajasthan, India
    
    Called by some the most haunted place in India, the Bhangarh Fort in Rajasthan is said to be cursed.  A sorcerer living in the city was in love with the princess who lived in the palace, and when his spell to trick her into falling in love with him went awry, he cursed everyone who lived in the palace to death. You might be inclined to brush aside such legends, but local authorities aren’t taking any chances — it’s still forbidden for tourists to enter the fort between sunset and sunrise.
    印度拉賈斯坦
    被稱為印度最鬧鬼的地方，在拉賈斯坦阿爾瓦堡壘據說被詛咒。一個住在該城的巫師和皇宮的公主相戀，當他誘騙公主與他相戀的咒語失靈後，他詛咒所有住在皇宮的人死亡。你可能不相信這樣的傳言，但當地的執法者不願有任何錯過的機會-遊客在日落和日出時，還是禁止進入堡壘。
22. Dublin, Ireland
    
    Ireland’s capital city has plenty of haunted landmarks, including some that are on must-visit lists even if you’re not interested in ghosts. Trinity College is haunted by a former medical professor, Dublin Castle is haunted by the ghosts of headless bodies said to be buried underneath, and in St. Patrick’s Cathedral some have seen the ghost of the dog belonging to a sailor buried inside. Another church in Dublin, St. Michan’s, has a burial vault underneath containing more than 30 mummified bodies.
    愛爾蘭都柏林
    愛爾蘭的首都有很多鬧鬼的地標，包含一些必遊之處，即使你對鬼魂沒興趣。都柏林大學被之前的醫學教授鬼魂所擾，都柏林城堡則是有無頭屍體被埋葬，而在聖派翠克大教堂，有些人曾看到被埋在那的水手飼養的狗鬼魂。另一個都柏林的教堂聖米占教堂，有一個在地下的墓穴地窖，收納了超過30具的木乃伊屍體。
23. South Africa
    
    Several cities in South Africa have haunted buildings, so you can find ghost tours just about anywhere in the country. Outside Cape Town, the Castle of Good Hope (now owned by the army) is haunted by ghosts of people tortured in its dungeons. In Port Elizabeth, the library is haunted by a former caretaker whose ghost knocks on doors. And in KwaZulu-Natal, the Nottingham Road Hotel is haunted by a former barmaid.
    南非
    南非有很多鬧鬼的建築物，所以你在這個國家幾乎到處都是尋鬼之旅。在開普敦以外，好望角(現屬於軍方)，被受虐而死於地牢的鬼魂糾纏。在伊麗莎白港，之前管理員的鬼魂會回來敲圖書館的門。而在夸祖魯- 納塔爾，豪伊克酒店則被之前的酒吧女郎的鬼魂糾纏。
24. Prague, Czech Republic
    
    Prague’s Old Town is its most haunted, and some of the city’s most haunted places are also its most popular. The picturesque Charles Bridge was once the site of executions, and is said to be haunted by the ghosts of men killed there. Two governors thrown out of a window in the Prague Castle are said to still haunt the castle grounds. And the Old Jewish Cemetery, where an estimated 100,000 people are buried, is thought by some to be the most haunted part of the city.
    捷克布拉格
    布拉格舊鎮是最多鬼魂出現的地方，而這城市最受歡迎的地方也是最鬧鬼的地方。如詩如畫的查理斯大橋曾經是處決的地點，相傳被砍頭之人的鬼魂會在那出現。兩任執政者在布拉格城堡的窗戶被丟出，據說鬼魂還出現在城堡之內。舊猶太墓園，大概有100,000人被埋在那，被認為是整個城市最多鬼魂的地方。
25. Sao Paulo, Brazil
    
    In 1974, an air conditioning unit caught fire in what was then called the Joelma Building in Sao Paulo. The building had but one stairwell, had been furnished with flammable materials and had no sprinkler system, fire alarms or emergency exits. The building was completely engulfed in a matter of minutes, and of the nearly 800 people who were inside when the fire started, 179 died. The building has since been rebuilt and renamed, but it is said to be haunted by several of the people who died in that fire.
    巴西聖保羅
    1974年，一台冷氣機引起的大火使在聖保羅的大樓-朱立爾馬大樓因而被命名。大樓有一座防火牆，但被易燃物質燒盡並且沒有自動噴水滅火系統、防火鈴或者緊急出口。大樓幾分鐘之內便被吞噬，火勢開始蔓延時將近800人困在裡頭，179人喪命。大樓從此改建並且更名，但相傳好幾條死於大火的亡魂一直纏繞著在那。

As one of the world’s oldest holidays, Halloween is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe, but it is in North America and Canada that it maintains its highest level of popularity. Every year, 65% of Americans decorate their homes and offices for Halloween…a percentage exceeded only by Christmas. Halloween is the holiday when the most candy is sold and is second only to Christmas in terms of total sales
身為世界最古老節日之一的萬聖節，至今仍為世界許多國家所慶祝，但在北美和加拿大，還是最受歡迎。每年有65%的美國人會為萬聖節的到來特地裝飾家裡和辦公室，這是除了在聖誕節才有的盛況。萬聖節是除了聖誕節之外，糖果銷量最多的節日。

Austria
In Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table before retiring on Halloween night. The reason for this is because it was once believed such items would welcome the dead souls back to earth on a night which for the Austrians was considered to be brimming with strong cosmic energies.
奧地利
在奧地利，有些人在萬聖節當晚休息前，會把麵包、水以及點亮的燈泡留在桌上。原因是據說這些東西會迎接亡魂重回世間，而奧地利人認為這會招致無限的能量。

Belgium
The Belgians believe that it is unlucky for a black cat to cross once’s path and also unlucky if it should enter a home or travel on a ship. The custom in Belgium on Halloween night is to light candles in memory of dead relatives.

比利時人相信一隻黑貓穿過小巷是不吉利的，而且假如牠跑進家中或者在船上行進會招致惡運。比利時在萬聖節的習俗是會把蠟燭點亮以紀念去世的親人。

Canada
Modern Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Jack O’Lanterns are carved and the festivities include parties, trick-or-treating and the decorating of homes with pumpkins and corn stalks.

加拿大
加拿大開始過近代的萬聖節是從蘇格蘭人以及愛爾蘭人在1,800年代移入開始。在慶典和派對時會雕刻傑克南瓜燈、玩不給糖就搗蛋並且用南瓜和玉蜀黍幹裝飾住家。

Czechoslovakia
In Czechoslovakia, chairs are placed by the fireside on Halloween night. There is one chair for each living family member and one for each family member’s spirit.

捷克斯洛伐克
在捷克斯洛伐克，在萬聖節當晚會把椅子擺在爐火旁。每一張椅子代表在世的家族成員以及其靈魂。

England
At one time, English children made “punkies" out of large beetroots, upon which they carved a design of their choice. Then, they would carry their “punkies" through the streets while singing the “Punkie Night Song" as they knocked on doors and asked for money. In some rural areas, turnip lanterns were placed on gateposts to protect homes from the spirits who roamed on Halloween night. Another custom was to toss objects such as stones, vegetables and nuts into a bonfire to frighten away the spirits. These symbolic sacrifices were also employed as fortune-telling tools. If a pebble thrown into the flames at night was no longer visible in the morning, then it was believed that the person who tossed the pebble would not survive another year. If nuts tossed into the blaze by young lovers then exploded, it signified a quarrelsome marriage. For the most part however, the English ceased celebrating Halloween with the spread of Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation. Since followers of the new religion did not believe in Saints, they saw no reason to celebrate the Eve of All Saints’ Day. However, in recent years, the American “trick or treating" custom, together with the donning of costumes for going door-to-door, has become a relatively popular pasttime among English children at Halloween, although many of the adults (particularly the older generations) have little idea as to why they are being asked for sweets and are usually ill-prepared to accommodate their small and hopeful callers.

英格蘭
曾經英格蘭小孩會把甜菜當成"南瓜”，在上面刻成他們想要的樣子。然後他們會帶著他們的”南瓜”沿街唱著南瓜歌敲門討錢。在一些鄉村地區，蕪菁燈籠會被放在門柱來保護居家於萬聖節晚上免受惡靈的打擾。另一個習俗是將物品，像石頭、蔬菜或者核果丟進火堆來驅逐惡靈。這些象徵性的獻祭也被作為算命的工具。假如丟進火堆的小石頭於隔天早上不見了，那個丟石頭的人很可能活不過隔年。假如核果是被年輕的情侶丟進火焰炸開了，代表著會有紛爭的婚姻。然而，英格蘭在馬丁路德大肆宗教改革時，中止了很多慶祝萬聖節的儀式。因為新宗教的教徒並不相信聖人，他們沒有理由慶祝萬聖節。但是在近幾年，美國人挨家挨戶”不給糖就搗蛋”的風俗和變裝一起，成為英格蘭小孩在萬聖節消遣的相關活動，即使很多大人(特別是老一輩的)不是很清楚他們被討糖的原因，他們還是為來敲門興致勃勃的孩子們作足準備。

France
Unlike most nations of the world, Halloween is not celebrated by the French in order to honor the dead and departed ancestors. It is regarded as an “American" holiday in France and was virtually unknown in the country until around 1996.

法國
不像世界上大多數的國家，萬聖節在法國不是用來紀念死者和逝去的先人們。法國人把萬聖節視為是美國的節日，大概在1996年以前都還不知道有這個節日。

Germany
In Germany, the people put away their knives on Halloween night. The reason for this is because they do not want to risk harm befalling the returning spirits.

德國
在德國，人們再萬聖節晚上會把刀子收起來。因為他們不想冒著被回歸惡靈傷害的危險。

Ireland
In Ireland, believed to be the birthplace of Halloween, the tradition is still celebrated as much as it is in the United States. In rural areas, bonfires are lit as they were in the days of the Celts and children dress up in costumes to spend the evening “trick-or-treating" in their neighborhoods. After the visiting, most people attend parties with neighbors and friends. At these parties, many games are played, including “snap-apple," in which an apple on a string is tied to a doorframe or tree, and players attempt to take a bite out of the suspended apple. In addition to bobbing for apples, parents often arrange treasure hunts with sweets or pastries as the “treasure." The Irish also play a card game where cards are laid face-down on a table with sweets or coins beneath them. When a child selects a card, he or she receives whatever prize might be found there. A traditional food is eaten on Halloween called “barnbrack." This is a type of fruitcake which can be baked at home or store-bought. A muslin-wrapped treat is baked inside the cake which, so it is said, can foretell the future of the one who finds it. If the prize is a ring, then that person will soon be wed and a piece of straw means a prosperous year is forthcoming. Children are also known to play tricks upon their neighbors on Halloween night. One of which is known as “knock-a-dolly," where children knock on the doors of their neighbors but then run away before the door is opened.

愛爾蘭
在愛爾蘭，相傳是萬聖節的起始地，慶祝的傳統方式和美國差不多。在鄉村地區，從薩爾特時期就有點大篝火的習俗，而孩童們會變裝在鄰近地區以”不給糖就搗蛋”的方式度過傍晚。之後，大多數人會參加鄰居或者朋友家的派對，而派對中常見的遊戲是”咬蘋果”，就是用一條線把瓶果掛在門邊或者樹上，參加的人就試著隔空咬蘋果。除此之外，父母通常會安排找糖果或糕點的”尋寶”遊戲。愛爾蘭人也會玩紙牌遊戲，把紙牌面朝下放在桌上，每張壓著糖果或者硬幣，當小孩選中一張卡時，就可以獲得該張卡壓著的物品。萬聖節會吃的傳統食物是萬聖節蛋糕，是一種烘焙的水果蛋糕，可以在家自己做也可從店裡購買。蛋糕裡面會有細紗布包裹的東西，相傳吃到的人可以預知命運。假如包著的是戒指，那個人很快就會結婚，而如果是一根稻草，是指接下來會有豐收的ㄧ年。孩子們也會在萬聖夜當天到鄰居家敲門玩耍。其中一種玩法是”敲門快閃”，是指孩子敲了鄰居門之後，在鄰居開門前立刻跑走。

Mexico, Latin America And Spain
Among Spanish-speaking nations, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos." It is a joyous and happy holiday…a time to remember friends and family who have died. Officially commemorated on November 2 (All Souls’ Day), the three-day celebration actually begins on the evening of October 31. Designed to honor the dead who are believed to return to their homes on Halloween, many families construct an altar in their home and decorate it with candy, flowers, photographs, fresh water and samples of the deceased’s favorite foods and drinks. Frequently, a basin and towel are left out in order that the spirit can wash prior to indulging in the feast. Candles and incense are burned to help the departed find his or her way home. Relatives also tidy the gravesites of deceased family members, including snipping weeds, making repairs and painting. The grave is then adorned with flowers, wreaths or paper streamers. Often, a live person is placed inside a coffine which is then paraded through the streets while vendors toss fruit, flowers and candies into the casket. On November 2, relatives gather at the gravesite to picnic and reminisce. Some of these gatherings may even include tequila and a mariachi band although American Halloween customs are gradually taking over this celebration. In Mexico during the Autumn, countless numbers of Monarch butterflies return to the shelter of Mexico’s oyamel fir trees. It was the belief of the Aztecs that these butterflies bore the spirits of dead ancestors.

墨西哥、拉丁美國和西班牙
在西班牙語系的國家，萬聖節被稱作"El Dia de los Muertos."  是一個喜悅歡樂的節日，ㄧ個懷念逝去的親人和朋友的時候。正式慶祝的日期是11月2日(萬靈節)，是一個在10月31日傍晚開始連續三天的節日，作為紀念相信當天會回家的先人，很多家庭會設祭壇並且用糖果、花、照片、鮮花以及先人喜愛的食物和水果樣品來裝飾。通常會將臉盆和毛巾放在門外以便亡靈在享用宴席時可漱洗。蠟燭和香會被點燃以便先人找到回家的路。親人們會把家中逝者的墓地打擾乾淨，包括除草、修繕和上漆。然後墓地會放置鮮花、花圈或者相思帶裝飾。常常，ㄧ個活人會躺在棺材裡被抬著遊街，然後攤販會將水果、花以蠟燭丟進棺材裡。在11月2號，家人會齊聚在墓地野餐並悼念。這些聚餐甚至會有龍舌蘭酒或者街頭樂隊，即使美式萬聖節習俗慢慢取代這個儀式。在墨西哥秋天，數不清的帝王蝴蝶會回墨西哥的冷杉林避冬。阿茲提克人相信這些蝴蝶負載著死去先人的靈魂。

Sweden
In Sweden, Halloween is known as “Alla Helgons Dag" and is celebrated from October 31 until November 6. As with many other holidays, “Alla Helgons Dag" has an eve which is either celebrated or becomes a shortened working day. The Friday prior to All Saint’s Day is a short day for universities while school-age children are given a day of vacation.

瑞典
在瑞典，萬聖節稱為”Alla Helgons Dag”，並且是從10月31號ㄧ直到11月6號的慶典。和很多其他節日ㄧ樣，”Alla Helgons Dag”的節日不是從晚上開始慶祝，就是當天提早下班。萬聖節之前的星期五大學生都會提早下課，而學生們則是會給ㄧ天假。

WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
The Origin of Some Halloween Customs and Symbols
VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, WITCHES, ZOMBIES: These creatures have long been associated with the evil spirit world.
CANDY: The ancient Celts tried to appease wicked spirits with sweets. The church later encouraged celebrants to go from house to house on All Hallows’ Eve, asking for food in return for a prayer for the dead. This custom eventually became Halloween’s trick or treat.
COSTUMES: The Celts wore frightening masks so that evil spirits would mistakenly think the wearers were spirits and would leave them alone. The church gradually amalgamated pagan customs with the feasts of All Souls and All Saints. Later, celebrants went from house to house wearing costumes of saints, angels, and devils.
PUMPKINS: Carved, candlelit turnips were displayed to repel evil spirits. To some, the candle in the turnip represented a soul trapped in purgatory. Later, carved pumpkins were more commonly used.

這些習俗從哪來?
一些萬聖節習俗和表徵的由來
吸血鬼、狼人、女巫: 這些都是長期和惡靈世界相關的產物
糖果: 古老的凱爾特人試著要以甜食撫慰邪惡的神靈。稍後教堂鼓勵神父在萬聖節一戶一戶造訪，希望能以食物換取對死者的祈禱。這項習俗逐漸演變現在萬聖節的”不給糖就搗蛋”
變裝: 凱爾特人戴著嚇人的面具，使惡靈誤把這些戴面具的人當作鬼魂放過。教堂逐漸將益教徒所有靈魂和聖人慶典的習俗融合。之後，神父便裝扮成聖人、天使和惡魔一戶一戶造訪。
南瓜: 雕刻好的蕪菁燈燭光被擺著以驅逐惡靈。對於某些人來說，蕪菁裡的蠟燭代表靈魂被困在煉獄裡。後來，雕刻的南瓜就比較常被使用。

Why Do We Carve Pumpkins at Halloween?

Folklore, combined with history gives us the Jack O’ Lantern. According to legend, a man known as Stingy Jack tricked the devil into buying him a drink by changing himself into a coin. Once the devil had transformed himself, Jack trapped the devil in his pocket. And, even though the devil managed to escape, Jack once again trapped the devil, this time, in a tree.
Later, when Jack died, he not allowed into heaven because of his bad behavior while on Earth. But, since the devil had promised not to take Jack’s soul (even though he’d been tricked by Jack several times), he wasn’t allowed into the underworld either. As a result, Jack was cursed to roam the earth with only a glowing coal to light his path.
Today, we carve pumpkins thanks to Irish tradition and we put lights inside them to ward off troublesome spirits, demons, and ghosts thanks to Irish legend.

為什麼萬聖節要刻南瓜?
結合民間流傳和歷史，我們有了傑克南瓜燈。跟據傳說，有一個被稱作小氣傑克的人，騙惡魔將自己變成硬幣買酒給他喝。當惡魔將自己變為硬幣時，傑克便將惡魔困在自己的口袋裡，即使惡魔想辦法逃出，傑克又用計把他困在樹上。之後傑克去世了，因為他在世的惡行無法上天堂，但由於惡魔承諾不會取走他的靈魂(即便他被傑克騙了許多次)，所以他也無法下地獄。最後，傑克被詛咒只能憑著一塊燃燒的木炭照路，漫遊在世上。
今日，我們雕刻南瓜以表達對愛爾蘭傳統的謝意，並且把燈放在南瓜裡面來看守麻煩的惡靈、惡魔以及鬼魂。

A jack-o’-lantern (sometimes also spelled Jack O’Lantern) is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday Halloween. Typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced. During the night, a candle is placed inside to illuminate the effect. The term is not particularly common outside North America, although the practice of carving lanterns for Halloween is.
傑克南瓜燈(有時也拼為Jack O’Lantern)是典型的南瓜雕刻。這主要是萬聖節的產物。一般頂部會被切掉，然後裡面的果肉被舀出，再刻一個通常是怪物的臉孔在表皮上，然後把蓋子蓋回去。在晚上，將蠟燭放進挖空的南瓜殼裡當作燈。這樣的方式，通常在北美以外不常見，但在萬聖節大家就會開始做起南瓜燈籠。

In folklore, an old Irish folk tale tells of Jack, a lazy yet shrewd farmer who uses a cross to trap the Devil. One story says that Jack tricked the Devil into climbing an apple tree, and once he was up there Jack quickly placed crosses around the trunk or carved a cross into the bark, so that the Devil couldn’t get down. Another myth says that Jack put a key in the Devil’s pocket while he was suspended upside-down;
在民俗學上，有一個關於傑克的古老愛爾蘭傳說，據說他是一個很懶惰但很機靈的農夫，他用十字架困住惡魔。其中有一個故事說傑克把惡魔騙去爬蘋果樹，然後等他爬到頂端，傑克很快地用十字架圍住樹幹，或是在樹皮上刻了一個十字架，所以惡魔就無法下來。另外一個說法則是傑客在惡魔倒掛時，放了一把鑰匙在他的口袋。
