Halloween in the United States is celebrated every year on October 31st, but its origins date back more than two thousand years. The tradition began with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred. To protect themselves from wandering spirits, villagers lit bonfires and wore costumes. | Ben Huang | Facebook
