Trace the history of Halloween goes back to the Celts of Ireland. Celtic had a deep faith in the spirit world. One of the most important festival was called Samhain, in late summer.
Meanwhile, they thought the veil that divides the spiritual from the physical world was very thin, where the spirits of the dead would be free to walk among men. People feared evil spirits, and thinks that the only way to escape is to disguise themselves as hideous creatures. This is the meaning of Halloween costumes of the ancient world. This tradition was then mixed with older Roman and Christian traditions in the years to create Halloween as we know it today.
