“جريمة رجل الحلوى”
أشهر حادثة في احتفالات “الهاليون” (Halloween) كانت حادثة التسمم بالحلوى التي وقعت في الولايات المتحدة في السبعينيات. في عام 1974، قام رجل يدعى رونالد كلارك أوبراين بتسميم حلوى تم توزيعها على الأطفال في الهالوين. للأسف، توفي ابنه البالغ من العمر 8 سنوات بعد تناول الحلوى المسممة. أثارت هذه الحادثة حالة من الذعر والقلق على مستوى البلاد، وبدأت الناس في اتخاذ احتياطات أكثر صرامة بشأن الحلويات الموزعة في هذه المناسبة.
“The Candy Man Murder”
The most infamous incident associated with Halloween celebrations is the candy poisoning case that occurred in the United States during the 1970s. In 1974, a man named Ronald Clark O’Bryan poisoned Halloween candy, which was handed out to children. Tragically, his 8-year-old son died after consuming the poisoned candy. This event caused widespread panic and led to stricter precautions surrounding Halloween treats across the country.

#halloween is an annual celebration with roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was observed in Europe. The Celts believed this time of year marked the transition between summer and winter, when spirits could return to Earth. People wore simple costumes and lit bonfires to ward off evil spirits.
Over time, Christianity adopted some of Samhain’s traditions, turning October 31st into “All Hallows’ Eve,” or Halloween. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Halloween spread to the United States, gaining a more playful character. Children began dressing in costumes, and the tradition of “trick-or-treating” emerged during this period. Carved pumpkins (Jack-o’-Lanterns) replaced turnips as a symbol of the celebration.
Today, Halloween is a global event known for elaborate costumes, spooky parties, and haunted houses.

is an annual celebration
held on **October 31st**, and it's one of the oldest holidays in the world, with origins tracing back to the ancient **Celtic festival of Samhain**.

3. **Trick-or-treating**: Children go door to door saying "trick or treat" to receive candies and sweets.
4. **Scary movies and stories**: Halloween is associated with watching horror films and reading stories about ghosts, spirits, and other creepy creatures.
