Halloween and its traditions originated from the Pagans of England, before the apparent birth of Christ.
The Romans seem to get a lot of credit for Halloween, but the truth, as discovered by modern historians, is that the Romans stole the ideas from the English Pagans - before killing them.
However the idea of witches came much later around 45AD from Germany.
