Halloween is a tradition that only grows in popularity each year. Yet its origins are mysterious, shrouded by myth and misconception.
Some of its roots trace back to the Gaelic festival of Samhain. In this episode, Matt Lewis and Dr Kelly Fitzgerald explore the traditions and significance of Samhain to the people who celebrated it, and its connections to Halloween.
