Warding Off Demons
The tradition of wearing scary costumes on Halloween comes from the ancient Celts, and they had a creepy reason for doing so: back then, people believed dressing up as demons and the like would confuse or ward off the evil spirits who roamed the streets during Samhain, a holiday that was essentially the pagan version of Halloween.
Do you have a strange and creepy fact to share?
It was the night before All Saints Day in the Christian calendar, when all the nasties came out to do their worst while they could!
