Best Answer

About 2,000 years ago in the area of the world that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, lived a group of people called the Celts. The Celts' lives revolved around growing their food, and considered the end of the year to be the end of the harvest season. So, they celebrated new year's eve each year on October 31st with a festival called "Samhain," named after their Lord of the Dead (also known as the Lord of Darkness). Samhain (pronounced 'sow-in') was presided over by Celtic priests called Druids.

I believe each time there's Halloween, All spirits/demons will come out and scare children away. So in this case on every Halloween night every child dresses up as their favorite SCARIEST creature on earth and either scare the spirits away or just wear costumes to have candy and have fun.
