“Long before Halloween turned into a carnival of costumes and candy, it was a night steeped in shadow, rooted in Celtic soil where bonfires flickered against an ink-black sky, calling forth spirits from beyond. From these ancient rites and whispers of the Otherworld, a tale was born that would spread across time and continents—changing with each era but always laced with mystery. Now, Halloween is part celebration, part superstition, and maybe, just maybe, still haunted by the echoes of those who first lit fires to keep the dark at bay. Join us as we walk through the twisting roots of Halloween’s past and its spellbinding journey into the heart of modern America.”
