Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater

"Peter Peter pumpkin

eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep her!
He put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well!"
This is about a man named Peter who loved to eat pumpkin. He had a wife
but he couldn't keep her for some reason - probably neglected her. So
what does he do? He stuffs her into a pumpkin shell and keeps her
permanently in there. I don't know whether his wife would still be
alive after an incident like this but realize that this pumpkin must be
a pretty massively giant sized pumpkin. Okay, so he probably forget
about the first wife. Soon after that, Peter gets married to another lady whom he didn't love at first. Peter who was also illiterate (a real find as far as husband material goes) eventually learns to read and finally starts to love his wife - from the second marriage.

Vintage Pics Capture 'Halloween in the Time of Cholera'

By


Wired.com Photo Department
  

An obsessive-compulsive collector shares his fascination with vintage
Halloween photographs, using Flickr to impart these haunting images.
"My theme is 'Halloween in the Time of Cholera,'"
collector Steven Martin told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. "The
idea being that people back then were probably on a more intimate level
with death — and that would have affected the way they celebrated
Halloween."
Martin, who has amassed a vast collection of vintage images through
eBay, said he's using pictures from 1940 and earlier for the Flickr
countdown.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think men were in charge of designing these vintage Halloween cards,
because each features a pretty woman! Some of the cards have
hand-lettered type treatments, too, and are extraordinary examples of
commercial calligraphy. Several also share a theme that seems to have
died out over the years. Apparently there was a legend that said if you
saw a man’s face in a mirror on Halloween,
he was your true love. That belief was a little hard to sustain in the
cold light of day, so that probably explains why you never hear it any
more.

The
Search For Screaming Skulls

The
Screaming Skull of Higher Farm, Chilton Cantilo
The skull at Higher Farm is said to be that
of Theophilus Broome, who died in 1670. Before
he passed away he left instructions for his
skull to be kept at the farmhouse, and attempts
to remove it are said to have resulted in poltergeist
activity. The haunting is well documented; a
manuscript at the farm has written account from
a number of people who attested to the phenomena
resulting in the attempted interment of the
grisly item.

The
tale was committed to paper in 1791 by John
Collinson in his History and Antiquities of
Somerset, and the tomb of Theophilus can be
found in St James's Church.
