haven't heard stories from me in a while right so let me tell you the story of halloween today it's going to be spooky zooming halloween was started by the cells who lived 2 000 years ago in an area which is now known as island the cells celebrated their new year on the 1st of november the day which marked the end of summer and the beginning of the dark cold winter [Music] they believed that the night before the new year the ghost would come to the world of living and the boundaries between the two worlds would
blur hence to protect themselves they celebrated the festival of salmon on the 31st of october modernly known as halloween they would wear costumes and light bonfires to ward off ghosts the word halloween means hallowed evening or holy evening holy because the celtic priest would often make predictions about the future for the long and dark times that lay ahead see that's how halloween started hey dr binocks why don't you tell them about us the famous jack-o'-lanterns because we are the original jack-o-lanterns you pump head wait let me tell them about the both of you so the

but didn't want to pay for it he was a smart fellow and convinced the devil to turn into a coin that they could use to pay once the devil did so jack quickly kept the coin in his pocket next to a silver cross which stopped the devil from changing back eventually freed the devil under the condition that the devil wouldn't bother him for a year when the devil came back after a year jack tricked him again soon after that jack died but the gods refused to take such a bad person in heaven and the devil
wouldn't let him be a part of hell either he sent jack off into the dark knight with only a burning coal to light his way jack put the coal into a carved out turnip which over the years has now become the pumpkin and since then on every halloween night he roams endlessly since his soul was stuck in between the two worlds trip your time did you know that people use trick or treat to save themselves from ghosts yes it was believed that the real ghost who would roam around in the night of halloween would think
of those disguised people as one of their own and stay away so friends happy halloween come see me please don't hurt me [Music] oh my yes you did scare me anyways this is me zooming out tune in next time for more fun facts
