Best Answer

Halloween is an ancient holiday with Celtic roots. The Celts celebrated the beginning of the new year on November 1 and they felt that, on the night before the new year, they could communicate with spirits and ghosts.

Immigrants brought their Halloween traditions to America and eventually the once-religious holiday became commercialized.
