The ancient Celts celebrated their Sauin New Year at the end of October.

They lived with the belief that on the night before it, those who died in the past year visit the earth in search of living bodies to inhabit.

To protect themselves, the Celts put out the fire in the hearths and tried to look as scary as possible – wearing animal skins and heads, hoping to scare away the apparitions. They gathered around fires lit by the Druid priests, and made fortune-telling.
