Tasseographer and historian Rissa Miller returned to The Dark Mark Show in 2023 to regale Mark and Nicole with tales about the hidden history of Halloween
Rissa talked about how the spooky season really started with the oft-mispronounced Samhain and how it was actually turnips at that time that were being carved and how children were given soul cakes instead of candy. She shared the story of "Stingy Jack" and how he outsmarted the devil, which prompted Mark to comment on all the stingy Jacks that he knows. She explains how trick or treating was invented as a way to stop children from rioting, explains how costumes became tradition, congratulates Nicole about her upcoming vegan anniversary and ponders if Mark is actually a werewolf and so much more...
