Description


On this West Virginia Morning, Halloween is more popular than ever, but where did we get traditions like costumes or trick-or-treating? We talk to West Virginia University (WVU) religious studies professors Aaron Gale and Alex Snow to learn more about Halloween's rich history.





Also, the parent company of Appalachian Power and Kentucky Power racked up nearly $1 billion in profits in just one quarter. And, the sale of four state-run health care facilities is back on track.
