It originally came from
Europe, but it has changed
a lot!

The original name of
the festival was Samhain
(サワーン)!

Originally, good and bad
spirits came back to
earth on this day!!!

Now, it is usually
associated with
bad spirits. This is
why people pretend
to be witches and
scary creatures!!!

Grave

There are many
old graves in Sleepy hollow!

This makes it a perfect
place for a Halloween story!!!

"Old graves are spooky."

"Grave sites are scary
at night, don't you think?"

"Are graves scarier
in Japan?"


*spooky: 不気味な、幽霊の出そうな
