  The night of trick or treating, costumes, candy, and all things spooky.In  celebration,   Here is  a list of the 10 songs that absolutely must featured at your halloween  party  – or, failing that, songs you must load onto your iPod to help you get in the mood. I have tried very hard to provide you with the most diverse and interesting set of songs possible – so while you may not see all of your favorites, you should see at least one or two new ones to add to your collection.   15.    Bark at the Moon/Ozzy Osbourne    A list like this would not be complete without the awesomeness which is Ozzy Osbourne! This track is from the Bark at the Moon Album recorded in 1983. Ozzy is, of course, most famous for being the lead singer of Black Sabbath and it would be seriously wrong not to include him on this list. 14.   Devil Went Down To Georgia/Charlie Daniels Band    We have two first...

    The Fiesta de Santa Marta de Ribarteme , also known as the festival of near death experiences, is a slightly odd festival to say the least. Held in a small Spanish village, that borders Portugal – Las Nieves, Pontevedra, in Galicia and taking place on the 29 th  of July.    The Festival of near death experiences, as its name suggests, is a celebration for those people who have had a near death experience and lived to tell the tale. Saint Marta de Ribarteme is the patron Saint of resurrection. The lucky ‘survivors’ attend the festival in a coffin. It is a good place to go if you want to catch up on tales of different near death experiences.     Even though centered around a fairly morbid theme, the festival itself is a celebration with firework displays and the usually partying that carries on well into the following day.    Thousands of people line the streets of this tiny village. At 10am, the relat...
