Where did we get this crazy tradition? The roots of Halloween stretch back many centuries and can be traced to the celebration of the end of the harvest season. By the end of October, the ancient societies had finished harvesting their crops, and were preparing for the non-growing season, or season when crops were "dead". The first day in November was called All Hallows Day (or All Hallowtide), a solemn day of remembrance for deceased relatives. Religion dictated that on All Hallows Day, the souls of those who died in the year previous would finally find their peace. On the night before, however, All Hallow's Eve, the spirits of those dead would return to walk the earth one last time. Now, not everyone who had died that year was necessarily good- every year saw its share of evil people who had also died. To keep those evils spirits from entering their homes, people would dress in disguise to scare the spirits away.
