IN THIS EPISODE: \u201cWalpurgis Night was when, according to the belief of millions of people, the devil was abroad\u2014when the graves were opened and the dead came\xa0forth and walked. When all evil things of earth and air and water held revel.\u201d \u2013 Bram Stoker, from \u201cDracula\u2019s Guest\u201d. Walpurgis Night is something most English-speaking listeners won\u2019t know about \u2013 probably because we\u2019re too busy celebrating \u201cHalfway to Halloween\u201d (or \u201cHalfoween\u201d for short) while Walpurgis Night is being celebrated\u2026 in Germany. There they celebrate not \u201cHalfway to Halloween\u201d but a kind of second Halloween which they call Walpurgisnacht \u2013 or \u201cWalpurgis Night.\u201d Plus, later in the show I\u2019ll share a story that was intended specifically to be read on Walpurgis Night \u2013 it\u2019s called \u201cThe Black Bargain\u201d from PJ Hodge!
