Although we typically think of pirates as swashbuckling but harmless rogues, in fact, they once were truly the outlaws of the high seas in the early days. Some of the more famous ones include Redbeard, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Barbarossa, Blackbeard, and William Kidd. It's not well known that there were a few women as well, but indeed, there were and they made their livings with this never dull lifestyle. You might also be interested to know that the word "pirate" means to "attempt, experience"; to whit, "To find luck on the sea".

Piracy in the Caribbean has sparked not only the minds of young children but fictional writers, and movies as well. The infamous Jolly Roger flag and Edward England's flag have been under the spotlight of history and Hollywood as well. Piracy reigned in the Caribbean from 1560 to the 1760s and still today, yet this was when Piracy was at an all time high. It sparked interest because of conflicts between England, Spain, the Dutch, and France. Most of the pirates of that time were of English or Dutch Origin.

Halloween, and the costumes surrounding it, gives not only children but also adults as well to be something else even if only for a few hours. It's striking that many believe that America was the first to don Halloween costumes but masquerades and masks have been around for centuries. Halloween is also celebrated in other countries as well, including Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales.
