It’s no surprise that ghosts have become a major Halloween symbol.
Historically, Sahmain was thought to be the time where the dead and living worlds were the least separated, so you could run into a ghoulish spirit. But they weren’t necessarily the friendly, Casper-esque ghosts we see today.
Though the presence of spirits was supposed to make the future easier to predict, pagans considered these departed spirits no laughing matter.

Halloween sure was creepier back then.
