One story says that, on that day, the spirits of all those who had died come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. spirits – 정신 possess – 소유하다
Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes in order to confuse the spirits. costumes - 의상
