The History of Ghosts in Halloween Decor

For centuries, ghosts have been a crucial part of Halloween lore. Back in ancient times, people believed that the veil between the living and the dead was at its thinnest on Halloween night, the 31st of October. 

To ward off evil spirits, they would light bonfires and put on costumes.

As Halloween transitioned from a more somber holiday to one that celebrated both fun and fright, ghosts became a popular decoration. 

Nowadays, it's hard to imagine Halloween decor without the presence of these spectral beings lurking in the shadows.
