The origin of Halloween goes all the way back to the ancient Celts. The last day of the year on the old pagan calendar, October 31st, served the triple purpose of bidding goodbye to summer, welcoming winter, and remembering the dead. This day was called "Samhain". On the evening of October 31st and the day of November 1st, the Celtic priests honored Samhain- the god of death. On October 31st, Druids also predicted the future.
According to Celtic legend, Samhain controlled the spirits of the dead and could allow them to rest peace fully, or make them go wild on this night. The Celtic believed that on the night of October 31st ghosts come out of their tombs. Celtic priests made big fires to frighten away the spirits of evil and death. The Celtic people dressed in scary costumes to frighten the evil spirits. They dressed as witches, ghosts and skeletons. They also played games to bring good luck in the new year.

I read that a while ago. 
-- -Be as careful as crossing frozen water, alert as a warrior on enemy ground.
-Be as courteous as a guest, as fluid as a stream.
-Be as shapeable as a block of wood, as receptive as a glass.
-Don't seek and don't expect.

Very true . Though most should have learned about this in middle school .
I suppose you have a point though . My husband and his mother knew nothing of this . Felt all special I could teach them something .
Perhaps you should add more , if you really want to educate people here .
