Fun fact: the original “pumpkins” were actually turnips because we didn’t have pumpkins in Ireland. These look wayyyyyy scarier. They’re a bit harder to carve but look amazing. If anyone’s looking for something to do in quarantine I’d give it a go
And also a couple of really old people have actually asked me to sing/dance or recite poetry before I get my “treat”. As this was still done in Ireland until maybe 40 years ago.
I just gugel turnips pumpkin Halloween, i almost throw away my phone. Legit it's looks like human fave with leafs and roots 😖
BIG REGRET SEARCHING THAT OMFG IM TERRIFIED
We still carve turnips at Halloween
I just googled it and thanks to you I won't be able to sleep tonight
@victoria rook I feel really bad. People are saying they’re really scared. I mean in Ireland (or where I live at least) Halloween is supposed to be uncomfortable. I hate horror but we make our house actually scary and scare people with props, music, effects and lots of other stuff, including little kids. Guess I never thought people would hate them so much!
Is no one gonna mention how that one stock video woman was literally putting unwrapped jelly beans from a jar into kids buckets?
I just keep laughing because she’s just throwing it in like nothing😂
Those aren’t jelly beans those are ecstasy capsules.
Don’t forget to check your candy!
Bruh I was thinking about that 😂😂
@@loudd I was literally thinking "Oh this must be the one lady the news is worried about poisoning children."
This is Halloween, this is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song,
In this town don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
I am the one hiding under your bed, teeth (something) sharp and eyes glowing red!
Round that corner, then hiding in the trashcans, something’s waiting now to pounce and how you’ll...
this is Halloween,
Red and black and slimy green,
Aren't you scared?
They used to carve faces into turnips... Much scarier than pumpkins btw
i did this too i agree
Some Scottish people still do this (not a lot but it’s still a thing kind of)
Better then pumpkins
@@AxxLAfriku No one did anything tho??
@@hushhemp ignore him he’s a terrible troll
“The Celts who lived in what is now Ireland, Scotland.....and the rest of the UK” Cries in Welsh.
But seriously, why does everyone forget Wales.
Cause you're part of the United Kingdom
seaun atchison yes so is Scotland and Northern Ireland. What I’m saying is when talking about Celts. Wales often gets left out even though way more people speak the Celtic language here than either Scotland or Ireland. Wales deserves at least a mention by name as it is it’s own country, is my point.
@@Baby-Face-Grace not as cool as the Irish Celts
@@Baby-Face-Grace at least they didn't say England in regards to Celts, that's the only positive I'm taking away here! haha
Tbh at least in the US no schools talk about you. We only learn about England and Ireland, scotland is barely covered, and Wales doesn't even exist according to our education system
Wales : *exists*
Literally every American: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"
Don't worry, some of us Americans were thinking the same thing. Might help that I may have a little Welsh ancestry.
@@LucretiaPearl I would have kept that to myself personally
🐑
@@bendover2865 that I think Wales exists or the possible Welsh ancestry? Or did my wording make it sound like I think of pretending Wales doesn't exist? Oof, sorry if I worded my comment badly. Been dealing with some chronic pain so I'm not always as precise in my thoughts lately.

I know that woman did NOT just pick up individual jelly beans with her BARE HANDS and put them in the kids’ buckets. Ew.
Oh gosh I just noticed it thank you I guess ! And that is Distcusting!🤢

I'm actually delighted he pronounced Samhain correctly. I was expecting the usually poxy Sam Hain pronunciation.
Oh dang I read this the wrong way
@@waffle._.bubbles how did you read it?
Me too I was waiting for it
Same! Pleasantly surprised 🙂
Omg it made me so happy
Yes, Halloween is Irish! Sadly so many people don't know this.
Well he said Irish, English and Scottish? It isn’t just Irish ☘️
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
No it’s fuckin welsh.
@@sonnyriviara8828 and it’s not even Scottish.
At most it’s Irish or welsh.
England has nothing to do with this tradition.
@@TheKrazyKurtShow Its Irish mate.
Love how I already know all of this because a year ago I did a whole essay on this with a partner 😎 We were just told to write an essay about Halloween and everyone wrote about costumes n crap but me and my partner were super into history and wrote about Samhain. Lots of research and I don’t regret it. It was fun :))
Did u get an A+ ?
@@milaxoxi I want to know too lol
@@milaxoxi He/she surely should have
I hope it did well!
As an Irish man , im curious to know how that went for you
Buzzfeed Unsolved is how I passed world history
Good! Now pass english class!
@@Libtard 😂
@@Libtard well geez 😂
You glued World History? Was it broken?
Moral of the story is THE IRSH FRICKEN ROCK. Thank you Ireland for pretty much inventing modern day Halloween.
No problem
👍❤️
It actually surprises me how many people don’t know that Halloween stems from Ireland.
If you're from the US we just learn about wealthy white men and especially where I'm from Halloween is seen as a evil holiday.
Not gonna lie, I read somewhere that it started in chins
You'd be dismayed at the school system here. They only teach what they want you to know, and they don't want you to know much.
It still surprises me people think it's the devil's holiday and not about fun and mischief
@@Famegonna9999 I know right? It came before all of that, shame really
In Australia when I was growing up, Halloween was always just that weird thing that Americans do. The Disney specials on tv were fun though.
I’ve been trick or treating a few times but yes barely any but in Sydney it’s alr like not too bad😂
What so you guys never did trick or treating?
@@seanmcmanus4701 No. It wasn't our tradition. It's Spring in Australia in October anyway. The really scary things at that time of year are the nesting magpies, the snakes and the storms.
Same lol, I'm from Venezuela and we don't celebrate Halloween in here, which sucks bc from what I've seen in tv sounds like so much fun. The weird thing is that even though we don't celebrate it, Halloween parties and haunted houses are something that never misses (sorry for my english)
same we dont really celebrate halloween and do trick or treat here in my country, but we still have like halloween parties, scary movie specials, and haunted houses etc.
“Costume stores show up out of nowhere” sounds like a goosebumps episode 😂
real talk..is that why in Greek mythology redheads supposedly didn't have souls? hahah
Coming from a ginger: cause we don’t 😊
In Greek beliefs they thought that when a ginger died they became or already where vampires
yeah the no souls thing is from south park not greek mythology you troglodytes
coming from a redhead: does anybody?
@@zyourzgrandzmaz I literally studied Greek myths and culture for around 4 year so.....I think I know what I'm talking about

'Ireland Scotland and the UK' good one
England isn’t real
@Jerry Gonzales no
Cos England didn’t have anything to do with Halloween.
They forgot to say wales. One of the main contributor to the holida.
@@TheKrazyKurtShow the UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
I was hinting more towards where is Wales but then again dont think Americans know what Wales is
@@emmahindmarch5754 it shouldn’t be. That’s just applying the same damn narrative pushed by England , normalizing them owning us.
'The celts were from Ireland, Scotland, the UK and parts of Europe'.....I'm assuming you forgot what Wales was called?? We do exist.
Ouch 😂
Statistically, most Americans forget to acknowledge Wales as a country in the UK. You probably feel like this anyway, but the facts have shown it to be true
@@its_james_fitness it’s not just Americans so hush
@@jjbrown6408 it's not northern irish ye mad yoke🤣
Wales is never mentioned because ye always stayed on the sidelines of wars , meanwhile the irish and scottish were always fighting for independence against the english
btw, some of this is incorrect. the celtic nations that celebrated samhain were ireland, scotland and wales (called calan gaeaf in wales)
Kk
@@wingz1595 ??
FUCKIN THANK YOU.
As an angry welsh person.
AND GALICIA!. In our language (Galician) saying Halloween it's "incorrect" and we still call it Samaín.
@@TheKrazyKurtShow forget to take your meds? 😅
samhain is still practiced by pagans, wiccans, witches, etc. it didn’t disappear, it’s just different 🥺
Yeah, i think its important to distinguish Samhain and Halloween from each other. They kinda co exist these days, albeit Halloween is more mainstream
Blessed Be
sounds demonic to me
I think its called trunk or treat at the local church.
@@catholicfemininity2126 it is demonic
i’m acc impressed at how this goes into celtic origins. i’m irish and to my knowledge halloween originated in ireland, in irish it’s Oíche Shamhna (ee-ha how-na). i have no idea where “all hallows’ eve” comes from tho i think that’s just american.
It’s originated in Scotland, not Ireland
Up da ra
Oíche Shamhna an ceann is fearr liom
It came from the Catholic Church, which wanted to make important celtic festivals into Christian ones (like with Christmas). So, they tried to rebrand it as a "Hallowed Evening", or "Hallowe'en". (Hallowed = Holy.) That's why it's also called All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
@@ryanmurray7941 the Scottish people came from Ireland originally, a lot of our culture is shared. Even our languages are somewhat mutually intelligible.
I never get thanked for coming up with the holiday
Damn
Thanks rocket man

Yeah as an Irish citizen and deep diver into our mythology I hate to say to you American "Wiccan" practitioners that a lot of your rituals and rights are made up in more modern times to sound ancient and a lot of the actual ancient rituals are lost.
@@BoyGhost I was raised in the practice, since birth. It’s not something I do because it’s “cool or trendy” I was raised by my grandmother and my other elders this way. I understand your frustration though.

Thank you for pronouncing Samhain correctly!
Blessed Samhain to all my witches 🖤
Btw, pentagrams/Pentacles aren’t evil. They actually represent earth, air, fire, water, and the spirit. It’s also a protection symbol.
I believe that's Pentacles :) Pentegrams are not evil by themselves but can be used for evil rituals within certain Satanic ideology.
Which is why some witches give up pentacles all together because of Pentagram's bad rep
I totally agree, I have a few in my room. I really like them.
That's just a distraction from the real meaning behind them.
It's still satanic.
@@nakomochi3117 no it isn’t lol
The scariest thing in halloween is noticing it would be raining on october 31st
Wow!!! Finally I am from India many people don't celebrate it (I too) but I always wanted to know the story behind the celebration. Thank you for making this video. ❤️ Happy Halloween guys!! Stay safe 💕💕
Okay so get got it right kinda but they’re making is so villanized and gothic. Like the holiday is a happy day. It’s a day to love your family and honor your deceased family. It’s a happy and loving holiday. Not some scary creepy thing
@@MarahSarayreh-q3y Halloween is a christian spinoff of a traditional ancient pagan holiday called Samhain. Its the day the god dies and passes into the afterlife, and the veil between the afterlife and the mortal world thins. So deceased family members can come visit you. its a day of love and celebration and honoring, its not spooky. Its like a funeral and a welcome home party in one holiday. It is also considered the pagan new year. Samhain isn't about scaring people. Its a christian interpretation to make fun of pagans.
POV ur watching this on halloween
Growing up catholic my parent's didn't let me celebrate Halloween because they said its the devil worshipers day.
Wow I’m super impressed you pronounced Samhain correctly. Pro 👍🏼
Pagan here: yeah me too! I was really about to expect them to say Sam-hain. Like how people who don’t know the holiday say it. I mean they got it right but they really kinda villainized the holiday in this video. Like I was hoping they’d push more for like how it’s a day of love and honoring your family and they put creepy music and scary faces on it. Like guys. It’s a day to honor the deceased, show some respect to the history at least!
As an Irish person I salute to you for pronouncing Samhain correctly! Go raibh maith agat :)
many people and places still celebrate samhain! a few years back i actually adopted the snake in my icon on october 31st so i named her sammy after the spelling of samhain
Anyone after SKorea event
Me
As an Irish person, I just wanted to say you're welcome world!
Thank you, your culture and traditions are beautiful and steeped in history.
That woman picking up jelly beans with her bare hands is more scary than the story of Halloween
Weird how the map only high lights Northern Ireland, but mentions “Ireland, Scotland, the U.K.” as if they existed in that form then. It would be more accurate to say they were one of the civilisations inhabiting Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and northern England.
Northern Europe. Though honestly, Celts were in most of Spain and even in northern Greece and Turkey before being pushed back

Just to clear up Ireland is not part of the British Isles 🙄🤯
It is. I'm Irish, and I too was surprised to learn the name. If it's any consolation, the English got the name "Britain" from the Celts (Breton, Briton, Brittany, Brittonic, etc.).
@@catbeara England seemed to get a lot from the Celts didn’t they 😂😭😭
@@clickerd9444 fair 😅
Yes, it is. It's not part of Great Britain but it is one of the islands that makes up the British Isles. The Irish don't like being called part of it, but geographically they are, politically they don't acknowledge it.

Samhain is a Gaels (Irish) tradition and was primaraly Irish with some Gaels in Scotland and Isle of Man, not the UK or any other Celts. The same as Yule was a Germanic Pagan celebration. "Celtic" is a language group. Saying it is Celtic is like saying St Georges day is a German holiday because the English language has heavy Angalo roots
Sorry to be that nitpicking pagan archaeologist: Celts also lived on the European mainland. And yes they all had their version of Halloween. And believe it or not, carnival might even be the same celebration yet for the beginning of the year
Originating from the Iron Age Hallstatt culture, right?
Spoopy skeletons are happy its spooktober

“Rather or not you want to dress up like a scary goblin or a sexy potato.”
I do remember years ago Halloween was a pagan Celtic tradition from Ireland and from St Hallow, so I was pretty close

Halloween started on October 31 1517 when martin Luther protested against the Catholic church. That's what people celebrate is the birth of protantism.
Rip Martin Luther. Black Excellence is key 🙏🏼. Thank god for the Black people 🙏🏼
This video is incorrect everyone knows that the mortals and monsters couldn’t live in harmony thus resulting in halloweentown. Halloween was when the mortals made fun of them by dressing like them. And most importantly HALLOWEEN IS COOL!!!!
People didn’t start dressing up until Christians stole the pagan holiday Samhain and turned it into .‘Halloween’.
sad so many people celebrate halloween
Maybe you guys can go back to the sorrel-weed mansion and try to investigate the abandoned upstairs if that is somehow possible,cause Im too excited to know wt was actually there.......ohhhhh still get goosebumps
I’m sad Halloween is dying, being overshadowed by the over marketing of Christmas.

Wouldn't it be neat if we started celebrating old, traditional holidays like they were intended?
You should do a video on the lost boys of Pickering
the celts didn't live in northern Europe, they lived in western Europe. Actually there is more celtic history and tradition in Spain than there is in Norway
Celts came from the Cimmerians who moved into England from northern Spain.
