Let me quote a youtube comment 'this guy is just plain full of shit''....Halloween, is an old Celtic Druid Irish pagan festival, that's it!! Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season, pray for Spring Season, have a fire for the Souls and Spirits and Dead and mark the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year waiting for Spring Time. There is no 'Satanism' because Satan or Jesus or whatever did not exist...this was before the times of Jesus, before Christianity. Irish originally carved Turnips not Pumpkins, those foods are from Central and South America. When Irish immigrants took their customs to America this feast given to honour the dead marking the end of Summer or 'Halloween' came with them and it became commercialized, selling devil costumes, Pumpkins whatever, it was an old pagan holiday honoring the dead and praying for spring.

Yeah...one youtube comment and his story is fabricated. Ever heard of cultural appropriation?
