These are my facts I learnt about Halloween : At the end of summer, the Celts thought the barrier between our world and the world of ghosts and spirits got really thin.This meant weird creatures with strange powers could wander about on Earth.The Celts had a big party. It was all about scaring away the ghosts and spirits.Later, with the Christian religion, the day became known as All Hallows’ Eve – the day before All Saints’ Day on 1 November.In the USA there is 40000 witches without any green skin they blend in as normal people.Jack – O – Lanterns are the real names for carved pump -inks.
