The ancient truth about Halloween
Yes I did say Celtic, because that’s what Halloween is, an ancient Celtic tradition that’s been going on in Scotland for at least 400 hundred years.
Traditional plays,which involved adults and children, would be performed. Latterly, these have changed to songs and poems.

Halloween and its customs are fully rooted in the Celtic world, so the English Media’s continued nonsense that Halloween is a custom imported from America is utter rubbish.
In fact the whole truth of the matter is it was the Scots and probably the Irish, who took the tradition to the United States in the first place.
Only this morning on Radio Sheffield there was some silly woman, spouting about the “American Craze”.
It just goes to show, how little the people of the UK know the history of their own country.
