关于万圣节由来的传说有许多版本，最普遍的认为，那是源于基督诞生前的古西欧国家，万圣幽灵狗狗。

主要包括爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士，这几处的古西欧人叫凯尔特人。凯尔特的新年在十一月一日，新年前夜，凯尔特人让年轻人集队，戴着各种怪异面具，拎着刻好的萝卜灯(南瓜灯是后期习俗，古西欧最早没有南瓜)，他们游走于村落间。这在当时实则为一种秋收的庆典;也有说是“鬼节”，传说当年死去的人，灵魂会在万圣节的前夜造访人世，据说人们应该让造访的鬼魂看到圆满的收成并对鬼魂呈现出丰盛的款待。所有篝火及灯火，一来为了吓走鬼魂，同时也为鬼魂照亮路线，引导其回归。在中世纪的中欧，曾有过基督教摧毁异教徒的历史。

可是新年夜前的祭祀庆典从未真正消除，不过以巫术的形式出现。这也就是为什么我们现在的万圣节里，还留有巫婆的扫帚、黑猫、咒语等痕迹。据说当天遇见黑猫，就等于遇见了巫婆，一年都会倒大霉，所以在那天，大家都要乔装打扮，驱走那些不吉利的象征。
