Halloween was once a humble pagan harvest festival where villagers hoped to frighten off bad spirits with colourful costumes. Nowadays, it is an annual celebration that stretches across the globe, where people put on their craziest costumes. The first Canadians to celebrate this tradition were Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 1800s.
