Why do people play ghosts on Halloween?
Halloween is a traditional festival in western countries. This night is the most haunted night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival". From midnight after Halloween, the theme of the eve is ghosts, scary people and things related to death, magic and monsters. It lasts from the whole day to the next day, 165438+ 10 month, 1. They think that on that night, their great Shaman Church of Death summoned all the ghosts of those who died that year, and these evil spirits would be punished by being born as animals. Of course, as long as the thought of this ghostly party was enough to make those simple-minded fools tremble with fear at that time.

So they lit a bonfire and watched these evil spirits closely.

This is the origin of the saying that Halloween is full of witches and ghosts. Until now, some people in some isolated areas of Europe still believe this is true. Now all over Europe, people regard Halloween as a good opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other.

Legend has it that the souls of those who died that year will visit the world on Halloween. It is said that people should let visiting ghosts see the harvest and show rich enthusiasm to them. All the bonfires and lights, in order to scare away ghosts, also illuminate the route for ghosts and guide them back. The villagers dressed themselves as ghosts and spirits, wandering outside the village, guiding ghosts away to avoid evil spirits and disasters. So playing with ghosts on Halloween has been passed down to this day.
