It is thought the practices of Halloween mostly come from Celtic paganism in the British Isles 2000 years ago, with the feast of Samhain. They believed it was the time when ghosts and spirits came out to haunt, and the Celts would appease the spirits by giving them treats. Appropriated by the early Catholic Church some 1,200 years ago.
