In the past, people believed the souls of dead people appeared on Halloween. Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is an international holiday celebrated on October 31. On that night children dress in costumes and go from house to house asking for sweets, especially in the US and Canada - that's called "trick or treat". Other Halloween activities are ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century.
