Halloween and Spiders
Spiders and Halloween seem to go together like Santa Claus and Christmas. So what is the connection behind spiders and Halloween, perhaps witches? Spiders, black cats and rats are the evil companions of witches in the barbaric times. Not only have they been used to imply darkness and evil by inhabiting countless haunted houses, vampire lairs, and dungeons but they have also come in the form of giants and mutants, exploring our fear of nuclear radiation and atomic testing. Of course haunted houses are fully stocked with spiders and spider webs. They also have an association to the supernatural and here are a few superstitions that involve spiders.
If a white spider has weaved a web above your bed you will have good luck, but if it’s a black spider then it’s bad luck.
If you see any spiders fall into any lamps on Halloween expect to see a witch walking through your front door.
If you dream of killing a spider you will soon lose money or something precious.
If you find a spider in the morning, sorrow will follow. In the afternoon expect to become anxious.
If a red spider descends from the ceiling, one will get troublesome news.
If a spider drops onto the table during a meal, this signifies that the household has got a new secret enemy.
If a spider drops onto a threshold, someone will die.
If one eats a spider, one will suffer from a tumor in the stomach.
