It was widely believed that on Hallows’ Evening the dead would rise from their graves to
roam the earth. Afraid of evil spirits, people therefore either wore ugly masks to frighten those
spirits away, or they stayed at home saying prayers. Some would also go from house to house,

TRICK OR TREAT is all about.
