The Spooky History of Halloween

Halloween has its roots in ancient festivals, but it wasn't always a celebration of horror and fright. In fact, the early Christian church tried to eliminate the pagan traditions surrounding Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season.

The festival was later influenced by European folklore and superstitions, leading to the modern-day celebrations we know today. But did you know that Halloween has also been a time for divination and fortune-telling?

From bobbing for apples to reading tea leaves, people have always sought to connect with the unknown on this spooky night.
