Across Europe, this night marked the transition to winter. It was believed that at this time the souls of the dead visit their former homes to bask in the fire. They roam around, collecting food and drink donations from the rest of the family. The souls of the dead could take on different guises - the evil ones were possessed by animals. Along with them are other dark forces: demons, brownies, witches. All evil spirits descend to the earth. In order not to become the prey of a dead shadow, people extinguished foci in houses and dressed up as scary as possible - in animal skins and heads, hoping to scare away evil spirits.
