What is Halloween?

Witches
The scariest night of the year. All around the world, people celebrate spookiness.

On 31 October there are loads of Halloween traditions. If you go to a party, expect stuff like:

  • Scary fancy dress
  • Making pumpkin lanterns
  • Trick or treating
  • Bobbing for apples
  • Telling ghost stories
But not everyone agrees with Halloween.

Some religious people believe that making a game out of evil spirits and witches is wrong.
