Halloween Birthdays

Tweet

Do you know anyone who has a birthday on Halloween? Research from Yale School of Public Health suggested that the dark associations of Halloween put many women off giving birth on this day and that this state of mind can affect hormones and thus influence the timing of a birth. Research has looked at births taking place a week before and a week after Halloween and Valentine’s Day (the latter being deemed to have positive associations.) It was found that whereas births increased on Valentine’s Day compared to the surrounding weeks, the reverse occurred at Halloween. Here's a link if you want to read more about the study: According to legend, those born on Halloween possess supernatural powers and are able to communicate with the dead. Of course, this would not necessarily have to be a negative thing. One person who was sinister enough without having a Halloween birthday was Jimmy Savile, disgraced TV personality and one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders. Savile was born on 31st October 1926 and was a 7th son. It has been suggested that he was part of a satanic ring and was some kind of Illuminati wizard. (He certainly had a fascination with mortuaries over the years). Some suggest he played a part in the Yorkshire Ripper murders. He was certainly a good friend of the Ripper himself. Maybe we’ll never know the full truth. It's all very chilling, particularly for those of us who grew up watching him on TV.
