An Interview with

Witch Ernestine

1. How did Halloween get started?

Ernestine: Halloween used to be known as “All Hallows’ Eve.” It started in Ireland over two thousand years ago. It was a holiday to honor the dead. Halloween was all so serious back then. Now it’s all about having fun. You get to celebrate with scary costumes and candy. I get to buzz you in my nifty flying broomstick-chair.

2. Did they trick or treat back then too?

Ernestine: They sure did. People would go from house to house, demanding food for the town feast. In England they asked for little cakes—and they had to ask for them in rhyme. Of course pranks and mischief were part of the celebrations back then too. We witches have always liked to play tricks. But those spooky ghosts are the worst.
