The Celts started it first.They called it Samhain(sowhain).It was believed the veil between the living and the dead was unusally thin at this time.

Kind of. It's a Celtic thing from all over the British Isle. Just the Irish are better at marketing lol

And the Celts also knew it as the New Year.

I believe it is a festivity also called Samhain, but I may be mistaken.

samhain is a late phenomenon dear... try a little harder.
