supposedly, All Hallows Eve., is the one night out of the year that the dead can roam the Earth. Some cultures will even bring food and spirits to a loved ones grave to welcome them back for the night. The next day is All Saints Day, supposedly the day the saints help the dead find there way back to their graves.
