Did you know that Half-O-Ween is a fairly old tradition recognized by many European countries? In Germanic folklore, Walpurgisnacht, also called Hexennacht or Heksennacht (Dutch), literally means "Witches' Night". Traditionally the start of Half-O-Ween is "Witches Night" on April 30th and then observed all May long. The first known written occurrence of the English translation, "Walpurgis Night" is from the 19th century. Many of the things we still do today but have long forgotten the reasons why originated from this time, like the ringing of Church bells and tying tin cans behind the car of newlyweds...all done to ward off evil during Half-O-Ween!
