Halloween originated over 2,000 years ago from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. These days, it is marked with a mix of Celtic and American customs.
And we do enjoy Halloween here on the Causeway Coast – so we took a look back into the photographic archives of the Coleraine and Ballymoney Times to find some ‘monstrous’ memories of Halloween in Ballycastle, Portrush and Armoy.
