To be fair, we exported it to them. Dressing up came from 'false facing' on Scotland, and the ghost stories from the Celtic Festival Samhain, which is when people toasted their ancestors and the people who died that year. The 'treat bit' came from the fact it was their last feast with fresh meat and veg before the winter set in.
Although the US have definitely added their own twist. |
