In Ancient origins of Halloween dates back to nearly 2,000 years ago and originated in what is now eland. Halloween was first celebrated by Celts at the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The United Kingdom and northern France celebrated Halloween on October 31st and the day after Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as All Saints Day, they believed the night of the 31st was when the lines between the world of the living and dead became blurred. This meant that ghost could return to earth between October 31st and November 1st. The Celts wore costumes and lit massive bonfires which they would sacrifice crops and animals in to ward of any potentially harmful spirits, this was the origin of modern day Halloween.
