Okay, help me out here with some history...(Halloween)
I am hearing, and reading, and even viewing all different stories on Halloweens origin. What's the real deal regarding Halloweens past?
The dark night beckons. Bear us your soul, it whispers. Expose your wicked delights. Join the rest of us on the wind. The dark night beckons and we answer. Sailing into the shadows.

I can catch a hundred links and watch a hundred shows but so many of these stories contradict what others say.

You're right Nos. There are mulitiple versions and stories about the origin of our favorite holiday. I guess you need to make you own decision which one to give the most weight to. I personally believe all of them. And what I mean by that is that I think the present day Halloween is the culmination of mulitple orgins: Roman and Celtic, Christian and Pagan. It's really quite American when you think about it. It's a melting pot holiday. Customs and traditions from these religions and cultures have been handed down over the centuries and combined to create what we all know as Halloween. Pretty Cool!
