It’s October 31st. The air is crisp, leaves crunch underfoot, and jack-o’-lanterns flicker from porches while kids in costumes race door to door. Halloween feels like pure fun—but behind the candy and costumes lies a story that stretches back over 2,000 years.

In this episode, we’ll travel from the windswept fields of ancient Celtic lands, where Samhain marked the thin veil between the living and the dead, to medieval Europe’s soul cakes and guising traditions, and finally to America’s pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and pop culture frights. Along the way, we’ll uncover how bonfires, masks, fortune-telling, and even apples helped shape the holiday we know today.

Halloween isn’t just about scares—it’s about community, creativity, and our timeless fascination with the unknown. So grab a flashlight—or maybe a pumpkin spice latte—and join us as we uncover the real history behind Halloween.

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
Kat & William
