Caption: Many of the world’s Halloween traditions are rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which marked the start of winter. During this time, it was believed spirits could pass easily between worlds. This gave rise to Halloween as we know it today, including the traditions of dressing up in disguise to ward off evil spirits.
