According to legend, if you see a spider on Halloween, it's actually the spirit of a loved one watching over you. So I guess if you see a ghost on Halloween, it's actually a spider. Confusing but good information to have on hand.

TFW You're cruising along, getting your stories out, and you suddenly realize you were moving too fast for your anxiety to keep up. Now publication is looming ahead.
