...Did you know that the story of Jack O' Lantern influenced the use of jack o' lanterns, which were not meant to keep spirits away, but meant to help light Jack's path so that he wouldn't stray to their houses play tricks on them (Thus the 'trick or treat',)
Did you know that in North America Native Americans changed the jack o' lanterns to pumpkins when they had a surpluss of pumpkins, but didn't have cuccumbers and turnips to use as traditionally used in Ireland?
The ancient celts beleived that the spirits of the druids would return to slaughter them and take sacrifices to their alters, so they began wearing masks and costumes because it was beleive that if they disguised themselves from being known as human?
Did you know that Halloween was first called the Day Of All Hallows, because the extremist druids would take sacrifices to their alters and burn and slaughter people who were beleive to be great sinners and the followers of the devil, so they would dress of up wicked costumes so that they may never know who it was, the druids, that slaughtered them, but a judgement from Heaven?
Did you know that "All Hallows" refers to all the hollow spirits of those demons that the druids disguised themselves as...
Some things were on the right track, but a few were off... Just a couple months ago I had to do a paper on it, and my teacher wouldn't let me turn it in if it was any less than an A...
