Interesting Facts

The jack-o'-lantern tradition originates from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack, who tricked the devil and was doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed-out turnip to light his way.

A full moon can appear larger and more vivid near the horizon due to an optical illusion called the moon illusion, making it a common Halloween theme.

Haunted houses have been part of Halloween lore for centuries, with roots in ancient Celtic festivals like Samhain, where it was believed spirits roamed the Earth.
