Before the take on the modern Halloween Day to which we all participate by dressing in some of the outrageous clothes, it holds a darker side. The roots of this day are said to date back to over 2000 years when the Celtic pagan celebrated this very day as the end of the summer months or the harvest season. The festival was called Samhain (New Year) which took place on November 1st and the day before October 31st was regarded the day for the departed, a day to honor the dead. There is also another version of the festival, and the Celts people believed that on this night, spirits from the other world would enter the human world and destroy the crops. So, to eradicate the evil spirits, the people would often dress in black and white and act like ghostly figures and roam around their neighborhood.
