世界百科全书(The World BookEncyclopedia)说:「万圣节是一个在十月卅一日的节庆。在美国,小孩会在万圣节时穿上各种面具和服装,去临街叩门说:『不给糖果就捣蛋!』(Trick-or-treat.)有些小孩会带着空心南瓜灯。在万圣节的派对中,小孩或年轻人会参与占卜、算命、听鬼故事和巫婆的故事。」
然而,神祕和超自然现象的字典(theDictionary of the Occult and Paranormal)说:「万圣节原本是异教徒庆祝黑暗、火和死亡的日子,源起于北欧的塞尔特。而对巫婆、巫师而言,万圣节是个重要的日子。」巫术团体承认,在万圣节时,他们比较有能力跟死去的亡灵沟通。
另外,《人类、神话和巫术的百科全书》(Man,Myth, and Magic Encyclopedia)提到:「塞尔特人的祭司是爱尔兰的蛮族,他们用动物、男人、女人和小孩为祭物,献给撒但。」

Can't we be open minded... View from a Catholic school:
Halloween means "Hallow's Eve". Hallow is the same word for "holy" that we find in the Lord's Prayer, and eve is a contraction of evening. The word Halloween itself is a shortened form of "All Hallows Eve", the day before All Saints Day. This holiday can be a way for us to deepend our understanding of our faith.
