À propos de cet audio

 Discover the eerie origins of Halloween from Samhain rituals to modern trick-or-treating!

Kick off spooky season with Monthly Spooky as we uncover the origins of Halloween—from ancient Samhain rites to the folklore behind trick-or-treat, jack-o’-lanterns (yes, turnips first!), towering bonfires, and why bats became icons of the night. We connect old-world customs to the traditions you love today, separating myth from history so you can sound scary-smart all October.
