サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Every Halloween, children eagerly don costumes, knocking on doors to fill their bags with candy and indulge in fun. However, lurking in the shadows of this festive tradition is a sinister legend—one that has woven itself into the fabric of Halloween's history. It's a fear that Halloween candy may be poisoned, laced with dangerous substances, or filled with sharp objects.
This myth, though perpetuated for years, is largely unfounded. In this episode, we will delve into the murky origins of this Halloween nightmare and explore the historical events that have both perpetuated and debunked this spine-tingling legend.
Let me take you on a journey through time, unveiling the legends and uncovering the facts, all in an effort to distinguish the haunting fiction from the reassuring reality.
