On Friday, Mission America’s Linda Harvey delivered her annual Halloween warning, this time telling parents to keep their children away from the holiday festivities.

“Halloween celebrates the spirits of darkness like no other event,” she warned, claiming that demonic forces “are more active than ever in recent times in America because we are inviting their activity in our lives. So here’s my question about Halloween: Why hand your children to dark spiritual powers on a silver platter?”

While it starts with children trick-or-treating for candy, she said, it then turns into parties, which she said are demonic and dangerous.
