Top Six Secrets To Know About Halloween

2. Halloween Symbols Aren't Random.

Black cats, spiders, and bats are all Halloween symbols because of their spooky history and ties to Wiccans. All three were thought to be the familiars of witches in the middle ages, and are often associated with bad luck.

Bats are even further connected to Halloween by the ancient Samhain ritual of building a bonfire, which drove away insects and attracted bats.

3. A Full Moon On Halloween Is Extremely Rare.

Though a common trope in horror movies and Halloween decorations with witches flying across the full moon, it's actually extremely uncommon for the monthly event to coincide with October 31, or any other date, for that matter.

The next full moon on Halloween won't occur until 2020. The most recent Halloween full moon was back in 2001, and before that it was in 1955.
