Ashley kicks off our Halloween-themed triptych by exploring the Ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. For starters, she serves up what we know about Samhain's history and traditions and how some of those traditions have been adapted for the modern holiday of Halloween. Then she finishes off this spooky special by taking a closer look at a couple of the supernatural figures associated with Samhain: the pookah and the Dullahan.

“There are only two kinds of people in the world,” an Irish saying goes. “The Irish and those who wish they were.” If you look around on St. Patrick’s day, you might think that’s true, for on St. Patrick’s Day Americans, regardless of their ancestry, will wear green, sing Irish songs, guzzle Irish beer, and dine on corned beef and cabbage. But not in Ireland. There you’d be lucky to find more than a handful of packages of corned beef in any of the local supermarkets. That’s because, contrary to popular belief, corned beef and cabbage is not the national dish of Ireland. You won’t find it on menus there except in places where there is a lot of tourist traffic. Some food historians even go so far as to question whether the dish is actually Irish at all. At best, only half of it—the cabbage—is truly Irish.
