On Tuesday, September 8th, 2005 Tri-State Area Paranormal Phenomena Research Society became a legal entity, which is recognized by the United States Government as a Social Group. Under this status, anything bought for TRAPPRS is eligible for a refund on taxes later in the year. Early in 2006 TRAPPRS will be filing for Chapter 355 RSMo Domestic Non-Profit Corporation. This will allow us to be tax-exempt on the purchase of equipment.
TRAPPRS has a new website, located at: www.trapprs.overlyweb.net and has a new look as well! After the change to the name TRAPPRS instead of NEMOGHO, I thought the website needed a MAJOR update and also needed a new look. I have added a download section, and plan to add an affiliates section later this year. The new forums need some topic starters, so type away. |

The history of Halloween begins over 2000 years ago, when the Celts were still in power in Ireland, and the Romans were still trying to conquer the world. The beginnings of Halloween stem from Samhain (pronounced sow-en), a Celtic holiday that marked the end of the Summer, and the Celtic new year. The Celts believed that during this time, all the laws of space and time were suspended, and allowed the spirit world to intertwine with the mortal world. Thus the idea of the dead being able to come back and search for bodies to use to house their souls for that year was born. The mortals did not wish to be possessed so on the night before, or the Eve of Samhain the villagers would dress up —cont. on next page. |
