Episode Details

Before the candy, costumes, and haunted houses, there were ancient fires, roaming spirits, and sacred rites. In this Halloween special, we trace the chilling roots of the holiday — from the Celtic festival of Samhain to the Christian influences and modern-day billion-dollar industry it’s become.

Join us as we uncover the dark, mystical, and surprisingly global history of Halloween. 🕯️👻💀
Prepare to meet the past behind the mask…
