SOME HALLOWEEN COSTUMES ACTUALLY HAUNTED

VENTURA, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- If you're shopping for your Halloween costume at second-hand stores, you may be in for more tricks than treats. According to ghost expert Richard Senate, it's not unusual for second-hand clothes to be haunted by their original owners. One famous case involves an old dress worn by a woman who witnessed Abraham Lincoln's assassination. It caused a subsequent owner to suffer bloody nightmares. Senate claims you can recognize a haunted shirt or blouse the moment you touch it -- which is why he recommends clutching a garment carefully before buying it to feel the vibes. To prevent haunted clothing from scaring the pants off you, Senate recommends washing the duds in hot water with a little holy water thrown in, which also seems to wash away any bad vibes.
