You might think that the custom of dressing up on Halloween is a contemporary tradition, but you would be surprised to learn that many historians consider the landmark to be the Celtic festival of Samhain, organized by pagans 2000 years ago.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, during the festival, the world of the gods became visible to humans, and many participants disguised themselves as animals to ward off evil spirits. Samhain marked the official start of the cold season and took place between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice. However, Halloween costumes became popular in 1950s in America, and are now celebrated worldwide.
