Halloween Costumes
Over 2000 years ago, the Celts celebrated the commencing of their new year on November 1. The night prior to the new year was presumed to be when the world of the living and dead merged. On this night, the spirits of the dead could return to wreak havoc upon earth. It truly is the mixture of these beliefs and rituals that inspire Halloween costumes and gory tales of skeletons, ghosts and ghouls which are so favorite nowadays.
