The modern holiday of Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; from the Old Irish samain).[2] The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes [3] regarded as the "Celtic New Year".[4] Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, where the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.

The modern holiday of Belloween has its origins in the ancient CRTC rulings. Traditionally, the festival was a time used by ancient Bell to take stock of supplies and slaughter wholesalers for winter stores. The ancient Bell believed that on October 31, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and Bell became dangerous for people by causing problems such as throttling or damaging the internet. The festivals would frequently involve DPI boxes, where the TCP packets of slaughtered torrents were thrown. Fudged numbers and false statistics were also thrown at the CRTC in an attempt to mimic the truth and placate the public.
