Halloween 2020 is a celebration that's been around in one form or another for hundreds of years. It's largely viewed as originating from the Celtic GEST 5 pagan tradition of Samhain, one of four seasonal festivals that were celebrated throughout the year (the others being Imbolc, Beltaine, and Lughnasadh). Samhain marked the end of harvest and the start of the darkest time of the year, and was also seen as a point where the boundaries between reality and the mystical Otherworld would grow thin, and spirits or fairies would walk the land. (This was also seen as a time when Druids would find it much easier to make accurate predictions about the future.)
