Halloween is the festival of all things supernatural, an autumn holiday of carved pumpkins and trick-or-treating. But beneath the spiced lattes and fancy costumes lies a much more ancient festival — one that’s often misunderstood.
So in this video, I want to explore the origin of Halloween — and uncover the lost history behind the world’s most frightening festival. What was the first Halloween actually like? Where did jack o'lanterns really come form? And why are there some out there who want to ban the holiday entirely?
I hope you enjoy this, and thank you for 948K subscribers!
