Halloween is a holiday celebrated every year on October 31st.

Children and adults wear different costumes of their choice to attend Halloween costume parties.

Big pumpkins are carved into lanterns and put on display outside houses.

Superstitious people light bonfires in their yards to keep their houses safe from ghosts and evil spirits.

Halloween is a very special holiday for children because they get to wear costumes of their favorite characters and they go trick-or-treating in their neighborhood to collect sweets.

According to an old tale, a drunken farmer named Jack Stingy was not allowed to enter both heaven and hell after his death.

His soul wandered in the darkness, and he carved out a lantern from a turnip to light his way.

The Celtics believed this story of Jack Stingy, so they put Jack o'Lanterns outside their houses.

The purpose of Jack o'Lanterns was to guide lost souls home.

Initially, Jack o' Lanterns were carved out of potatoes, but then people began using pumpkins.
