Trick-or-treating in the U.S. began in the early 1900s as a way to divert young people from causing mischief on Halloween night. The practice became more widespread in the 1930s and 1940s, eventually becoming a beloved tradition for children to go door-to-door in costume asking for candy.

The story of Old Jack. He was an evil man that liked to play tricks, one day he tricked the devil so bad the devil swore he could never go to heaven or hell. Well when Jack did die. He could not get into heaven. When he went to the Devil he would not let him in either. The Devil took pity on him and gave a single coal that would never burn out. Jack carved his face into a turnip and placed the single coal inside. This story is also associated with the will o wisp. Turnips eventually were traded for pumpkins since they worked better for the tradition.

Halloween's origins are believed to trace back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. It was the Celts who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France that first celebrated Halloween.

Unfortunately, a lot of people actually believe all those urban legends about kids being poisoned, kidnapped, or killed by razor blades on Halloween. In reality, the overwhelming majority of these stories are completely untrue, and the few are true are greatly exagerated and/or changed from what really happened. The crime rate, including the kidnapping rate, does NOT increase at Halloween. But people are becomming more and more paranoid, mainly because of groups who want to scare people into giving up their freedoms in a bid for increased political power. Their tactics are working, and the demographic that is suffering the most from the results is the children.

This approach helps streamline the logic flow and prevents unnecessary checks once a condition is satisfied.

Samhainaphobia is the fear of Halloween.

There are litterally hundreds of myths that go with Halloween. Some are simple or silly ones, like ghosts and zombies. Others are more local myths, like that of "Bloddy Mary" or ideas that graveyeards come alive or the dead come back to life on Halloween night. If there is a full moon on Halloween night, other myths such as those of vampires and werewolves also exist. More urban or localized (specific to certain areas or towns) myths exist that may be specific to a location, such as a legend that someone died on Halloween on (bridge, mountain, camp, house, graveyard, ect.).you can also die on halloween- from the scared one

The vampires we are familiar with today are mostly based on eastern European legends. As Christianity spread, so did the belief in vampires. The Catholic Church officially recognized the existence of vampires as agents of the devil in 1215. There was mass hysteria for years; people who died from unknown causes were automatically thought to have been victims of vampirism. Graves were dug up years after burial to check for vampirism.

Bram Stoker combined historical fact with his imagination to create Dracula. He based Count Dracula on a historical figure from the 15th century. His name was Vlad Dracula (Dracul was the family name; the "a" at the end means "son of"), and he was nicknamed the Impaler. He was known for impaling his enemies onto poles and leaving them by the roadside or in their yards. This was done to invoke fear in those who would come against him. He was also known for mass executions, having large feasts in front of the dying, and for scalping, which some believe to be the origin of the Native American custom.

Vlad never actually drank the blood of his victims, but rather painted his face with their blood to emphasize his menace.

Contrary to popular belief, Dracula's castle is not in Transylvania. He was born there (northern Romania) but ruled in southern Romania.

On a side note: At the same period in history as Vlad, Hungarian Countess Elisabeth Bathroy was a blood monger in her own right. By her own testimony, she had over 650 victims, would bite large pieces of their flesh, torture them, and bathe in their blood.

In some cultures, an itchy right palm is believed to symbolize that money will be coming your way. It is considered a sign of good luck and fortune.
