Description

We’re peeling back the eerie origins of Halloween, Scottish-style—where carving pumpkins would’ve gotten you side-eye from a town full of turnip-wielding revelers. Turns out, Scotland’s Halloween celebrations involved veggies that look way scarier than anything you’ll find on a Pinterest board. And let’s not forget Jenny Greenteeth, the local hag of nightmares who perfected drowning people with style.

Karmen and Jessica are diving into why the Scots first started hacking away at turnips, and exploring some delightfully dark lore from around the globe. Because nothing says Halloween like folklore that might just inspire you to sleep with one eye open.

For those who think our current holiday’s a little basic, come get your frightful fix the way it was originally served—one terrifying turnip at a time. Don't miss your exit.
