Halloween is the time of the year when the gates between our world and "the other world" are open. On October 31st people remember the dead and celebrate the beginning of the Celtic New Year.
On Halloween, the monsters, witches and ghosts come to our world. We can also see vampires in the form of bats.
That evening all children dress up in Halloween costumes and they visit their neighbours' houses shouting "Trick or Treat". If they don't give them candy, the children play a trick on them. Sometimes they go to haunted houses and tell spooky stories.
Jack-O-Lanterns are the symbol of Halloween. They are pumpkins with a horrible face cut out and with a candle inside.
