Samhain - The Origins of Halloween
Long before candy and costumes, before plastic skeletons and porch lights, there was Samhain.
A night when the veil between worlds grew thin, and the living shared space with the dead.
In this episode, Aimee takes you back to the roots of Halloween - through the ancient Celtic harvest rituals, the Roman festivals that reshaped them, and the Christian rebranding that turned Samhain into All Hallows’ Eve.
From sacred bonfires and whispered offerings to the rise of trick-or-treating and ghost stories, we trace how one pagan night of remembrance became the world’s favorite celebration of fear.
It’s a story of death, rebirth, and the way humans have always danced with the dark...
not to escape it, but to understand it.
Because Halloween isn’t just a holiday.
It’s a memory.
🎧 Listen if you love:
True crime with atmosphere, real-life horror, suburban mysteries, paranormal history and cinematic storytelling.
