Truth Be Told Paranormal - Before the Candy Came the Chaos: Halloween’s Surprising History

Before the candy came the chaos! 🎃 What did Halloween look like before costumes and trick-or-treating took over?

Join Tony Sweet on Truth Be Told as author and Halloween historian Lisa Morton uncovers the surprising history behind our favorite spooky holiday. Explore the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the legends behind jack-o’-lanterns, and how a night of destructive pranks evolved into today’s candy-filled celebration.

Lisa also takes us inside Victorian séances, discusses how Hollywood changed our perceptions of Ouija boards, and shares Houdini’s fascinating Halloween connection. Plus, get a preview of her upcoming book, My Name Is Legion: The Strange and Terrifying History of Demonic Possession.

Discover the folklore, challenge the myths, and find out why we love a good scare!
