In Ireland, Oíche Shamhna aka Halloween has officially heralded the beginning of the "dark half of the year" since pagan times. Many of the old Celtic traditions marking the festival of Samhain (summer's end) endure to this day, however the Victorian obsession with the macabre introduced others that reflected the times, such as predicting death, marriage or emigration. How was Hallow'een celebrated in your ancestral county a century or more ago? See below to discover gems recorded from interviewing the old folk back in 1930... Which traditions passed down through the generations in your family? Join the conversation HERE.
