Most parents check through their kids Halloween candy for unwrapped goodies or expired candy bars. But one family tell KVAL their child was given a booklet that had cartoons of kids going to hell.

For about 15 years Bruce Miller taught Witchcraft and the Occult at the University of Alberta as a credited course.
It was so popular that the university had to split the class in two and hire another teacher.
Now, because of the courses popularity, the U of A is offering a pared-down version called Gnosticism and the Occult as a non-credit, continuing education course.
