In Haunting Cases’ first bonus episode, Kaitie and Rhiannon discuss the origins of Halloween, rooted in the pagan celebration of Samhain (pronounced “Sow-wen”). Multiple traditions and superstitions have sprouted from Samhain, All Saint’s Day, and modern-day Halloween. From the common practices of trick-or-treating and Jack O’lanterns to historic matchmaking traditions, there is plenty to talk about when it comes to the cultural history of October 31.
