Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, what are some of your annual traditions? Maybe you dress up in costumes, carve a Jack-o'-lantern, go trick-or-treating? But have you ever wondered why we do these things? Or that they may be tied to rituals over 3,000 years old? We're discussing the unexpected origins of Halloween and the barrier between our world and beyond on this episode of Unspookable.
