#### Origins and History
Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on October 31st. Over 2,000 years ago, the Celts, who lived in the region now known as Ireland, the UK, and northern France, believed that the boundary between the living world and the dead became blurred on this night. On the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, when the ghosts of the dead could return to the earth.
