Halloween started in pre-Christian days in Celtic lands such as Ireland as a day to honour the dead and they also started their New Year on that day.
When the Irish immigrated to America, they brought this holiday with them.
The idea of it becoming a night for children came about in about the late 1800's as an activity to bring people together.
It is not an official holiday, but it has become a mostly American tradition.
halloween comes from evil spirits because thats the only time evil spirits and witches and vampires and wearwolfs and other evil creatures can rome around free! and do you guys know the movie hocus pocus its true about the sanderson sisters not when they go into the second the first part with the little girl emily gets the young sucked out of her!!!!!! and that cat still stands at that house waiting for an idiot virgen to come and light the...BLACK FLAME CANDLE. he never died i know where the anderson sisters live and it might be close to your home so do not light the black flam candle ever! its halloween eve in 2011 and im only nine and i know this stuff and btw use salt if u live near some kind of creature!!!!!!!
