Piracy in the Caribbean was a fact of life in the early days, but it has been a source of inspiration for children and for writers through time; in the form of movies and books. In fact, the Jolly Roger flag and Edward England's flag have also been subjects of history and Hollywood. Piracy was prevalent in the Caribbean from 1560 to the 1760s and continues today. Yet, the early days were when piracy was especially common. It was of interest because England, Spain, the Netherlands and France were all in conflict with each other. Most of those pirates were of English or Dutch descent.
If you're interested in impersonating somebody else for a few hours, Halloween gives you the perfect opportunity to do so. It might surprise you to know that Americans were the first to put on Halloween costumes. Although masquerade balls and mask adorning have been around for eons. Today, Halloween is also celebrated in other countries, including Canada, England, New Zealand, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Australia.
Some choose to dress up in a sexy Halloween costume and be flirtatious on October 31st. Others enjoy the night pretending to be someone they are not, reenacting pirate scenes they have watches in movies or read about in books. The night doesn't have to be scary; it just has to be fun. Haunted houses, horrifying costumes, and theatrical costumes add to the fun for some. For others a fun party with pirates, clowns, and a super hero or two is more fun. There is no right or wrong way to celebrate, as long as you are having fun.
Fall is a perfect time to dispense with your ordinary clothes for just one night and go to a party in your favorite Halloween costume. And if it just happens to be a pirate, one with some flair to it, then all the better. Edited by Glinda Zuladra
