HALLOWE’EN BELIEFS
In the olden days people believed that
on Halloween night when the nights
became dark and winter was on the
way was the night when spooky spirits,
ghosts and ghouls could come out and
roam around.
DRESSING UP
People believed that on Hallowe’en night if
you were dressed up as a spooky person such
as a witch, a ghost, a skeleton or a vampire,
that the real ghosties and witches would not
know and they would leave you alone.
PUMPKIN LANTERNS
People made lanterns to scare away any
evil spirits. The first lanterns were made
out of turnips and later on pumpkins.
People who did not have turnips or
pumpkins would sometimes use candles
or light a bonfire.
TRICK OR TREAT
People used to believe that
anything that went wrong with
their home, their animals or pets
was the fault of evil and
mischievous spirits and ghosties.
Children now visit houses
dressed up as those spooky
characters saying trick or treat.
They pretend that they will play
tricks if they do not get a treat.
Treats can be sweeties, fruit or
money
