What lies beneath the familiar traditions of Halloween? Long before costumes, candy, and haunted attractions, there was Samhain, an ancient Celtic seasonal festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter.
On this episode of Paranormal Lens, Kirstin Truccano, joined by Chad Thomas and Jamie Widener, explores the history, traditions, folklore, and spiritual beliefs associated with Samhain.
From seasonal bonfires and remembrance of the dead to stories about spirits and the boundary between worlds, we'll examine what is known about these ancient customs, how later traditions developed, and how Samhain became connected to the Halloween we celebrate today.
Which parts of Halloween have genuine historical roots, and which have been shaped by centuries of storytelling and changing cultural traditions?
Join Paranormal Lens for a journey into the past, where history, folklore, and the unexplained meet.
Stay alert, stay respectful, and stay curious.
