Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. On the day corresponding to November 1 on contemporary calendars, the New Year was believed to begin. That date was considered the beginning of the winter period, the date on which the herds were returned from pasture and land tenures were renewed.

During the Samhain festival, the souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their homes and those who had died during the year were believed to journey to the other-world.

People set bonfires on hilltops for relighting their hearth fires for the winter and to frighten away evil spirits and they sometimes wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognised by the ghosts thought to be present.
