During Halloween festivities, families would go door to door to beg for food from their neighbors.
The sound of ringing bells chases away the spirits.
Children would go from house to house to announce the start of the festival and neighbors would treat them with sweets.
3. Why did people first begin dressing up in costume for Halloween?
They didn't want neighbors to know they were begging, so they disguised themselves.
People thought if they dressed as ghosts, real ghosts would leave them alone.
