History traces Halloween back to the Celtic peoples of Ireland. The Celts had a profound belief in the spirit world. One of their main festivals was called Samhain at the end of the summer.
During this time, they believed the veil that divided the spirit world from the physical was very thin where spirits of the dead would be free to walk among men. Habitancy feared the evil spirits and understanding the only way to leave them would be to disguise themselves as hideous creatures. That is the significance of Halloween costumes in the antique world. This tradition was later mixed with antique Roman and Christian traditions over the years to form Halloween as we know it today.
