Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Halloween dates back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which involved pagan and supernatural rituals. However, the article also highlights that Pope Gregory III later moved All Saints' Day to coincide with Samhain, signifying the onset of Halloween's association with Christian traditions. Celts believed that on Samhain, the souls of the dead would visit their homes - and that those who had died in the past year would travel to the next world. As a result, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. They also believe the presence of spirits can enhance their priest called Druid's ability to predict the future. This belief could be a contributing factor to the widespread practice of fortune-telling during Halloween in contemporary times.
