Halloween, celebrated every October 31st, is much more than just costumes and candy. Its origins date back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter. The Celts believed that on this night, the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred, allowing spirits to walk the earth. To ward off these ghosts, people would light bonfires and wear costumes made of animal skins.
