The History of Halloween
3
The Knowledge!

• Halloween had its beginnings in an ancient,
  Celtic festival of the dead. The festival
  observed at this time was called Samhain.
• All Hallows Eve became Hallow Evening, which
  became Hallowe'en.
• Halloween or Hallowe'en is a popular tradition
  celebrated on the night of October 31, most often
  by children dressing in costumes and going
  door-to-door collecting candy, sweets, fruit, and
  other treats.
• To this day, witches, ghosts, and skeleton
  figures of the dead are among the favorite
  disguises.

The Knowledge!

• Halloween is a holiday of many mysterious
  customs, but each one has a history, or at least
  a story behind it.
• People believe, ghosts of the dead were able to
  travel into the otherworld.
• People continued to celebrate Halloween as a time
  of the wandering dead.
• Traditional Halloween symbols (witches, black
  cats, pumpkins, candles, masks, parties and
  pranks) appeared in the U.S. during the late
  1800's.

The Knowledge!

• Trick-or-Treating originated in Ireland and
  Britain, but was found as far south as Italy.
• Pumpkins were cut with faces representing demons
  and were originally intended to frighten away
  evil spirits.
• The carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, is
  one of Halloween's most important symbols in
  America, and is commonly called a
  jack-o'-lantern.
• Halloween is a time of magic. If people hold a
  mirror on Halloween and walk backwards down the
  stairs to the basement, the face that appears in
  the mirror will be their next lover.

Halloween Superstitions!

• Knocking on wood keeps bad luck away.
• If you hear footsteps trailing close behind you
  on Halloween night, do not to turn around to see
  who it is, for it may be Death himself! To look
  Death in the eye, according to ancient folklore,
  is a sure way to hasten your own demise.
• Put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards
  on Halloween night to meet a witch.
• You should walk around your home three times
  backwards and counterclockwise before sunset on
  Halloween to ward off evil spirits.

Halloween Superstitions!

• It is believed that if a person lights a new
  orange colored candle at midnight on Halloween
  and lets it burn until sunrise, he or she will be
  the recipient of good luck.
• If you see a spider on Halloween, it could be the
  spirit of a dead loved one who is watching you.
• A person born on Halloween can both see and talk
  to spirits.
