Stuff They Don't Want You to Know - Halloween

To most people, Halloween is just a celebration of costumes and candy. However, others believe there's a diabolical agenda at work -- nothing less than a battle between Heaven and Hell. Why? Tune in to learn more about Halloween conspiracy theories.

Hint: if you're going to act like you're an expert about something, learn how to pronounce its name.  "Samhain" is an Irish word, pronounced "Sow-in, " with the first syllable being pronounced like the word for a female pig.  Yeah, and let's use Jack Chick as a source.  He's reliable for sure, not at all crazy.  "More than once, corpses have been discovered on Halloween."  You know when else corpses have been discovered?  Feb. 19th.  April 7th.  July 23rd.  Every damn day of the year.

as someone who practices a pagan religion, i can guarantee that pagans are not devil worshipers, halloween was a festival designed to banish and protect from malevolent spirits 
the devil is a christian figure, and we do not believe in christian gods or figures
in fact, many of your 'christian holiday traditions' have pagan roots
the yule log and christmas tree are both symbols of fertility from the pagan fertility festival Yule
easter is derived from the pagan festival Ostara, the spring equinox,  in which we collect seeds and flowers do decorate our alters and paint eggs
valentines day comes from Imbolc, in which candles are lit and the warmth symbolizes the coming of spring and fertility
also
christians heavily persecuted pagans throughout history (and still do in less obvious ways) they took our symbols of peace and made them satanic (look no further than the pentagram) and claimed our rituals and traditions as there own
christians created devils of us- we follow the sevenfold law, (whatever we use magic for will be returned to us seven times- if we hurt someone we will hurt 7 times as much, but if we help someone we will be helped 7 times as much), we calibrate nature, the things on earth that we see, we feel, that keep us alive- and as part of that, we respect the earth, the rocks, plants and animals

I remember one of my grade school classmates actually getting a candy apple that contained razorblades on "Halloween". But Satanic Ritual Abuse and human sacrifice does happen, and Theistic Satanists do regard that day as one of their high un-holy days.

Samhain, pronounced SOW-en, was an ancient Celtic celebration of the end of summer and a bountiful harvest.

a pagan is a person who follows a religion outside of the abrahamic religions( islam, christianity, and judaism)

[gatheringleaves]

It's pronounced Sowin, not Sam Hane!

[deancounts]

In Irish mh together make a w sound Samhain is thus pronounced sowin

At 4:47-4:49 I always hear the word "Oi-eye-ba" have any guesses on what it means? It sounds sort of creepy when you hear it in the video.

[Covencraft]

it's pronounced SOW-EN not sam-hain, its a celtic word.

Trick-or-treating has a few origins. One of which was to ask for fuel for a bond fire which when lit, "one after another of the youths laid himself down on the ground as near to the fire as possible so as not to be burned, and in such a position as to let the smoke roll over him. The others ran through the smoke and jumped over him".

And the claims of human sacrifice being associated with Halloween are actually quite valid.

[kevyoyo]

just gonna say, the word "Samhain" is pronounced s-ow-an, its Irish.

I enjoy your video uploads, and whether the conspiracy theory I find outlandish, or plausible, they always entertain. Thanks for your good work. I see in the comments that you were already, (and many times) corrected on the. pronunciation Samhaim, so ...As an Emissary of Perdition, I will add, the only Benefit of a completely commercialized shadow of an old festival, not really associated with our father the Devil, is maybe the desensitizing to the aspect of evil by society. That's really stretching..but maybe.

Hahaha! Holy shit, nevermind, you said "Dressing up, and asking for candy doesn't seem like the most efficient way to wage a religious war." HAHAHA! My sides are in orbit.

[CoolDudeClem]

I can't get enough of these conspiricy theories!

[sythlorde]
