Best Answer

The ancient Celtic priests were the first to celebrate Halloween, and it was associated with the Celtic new year. It was believed that on the last night of their year (October 31), the Lord of Death, Samhain, allowed the souls of the dead to return home. Evil spirits, witches, ghosts and demons also roamed, but could be placated by a feast.
