What holidays could you compare to the American Halloween of the '90s in your country? Take the summary I made by translating from Romanian to English the summary of a project I did about lost holidays and traditions

The pre-Christian origins of the "Night of Witches/Strigoi" are rooted in two primary traditions that existed before Christian influences: In Dacian/Romanian tradition: The Night of the Strigoi was linked to the agrarian New Year at the end of November. It was believed that on this night, the veil between the living and the dead was thin, and restless, malicious spirits known as strigoi would emerge. To protect themselves, people used garlic and lit ritual fires. These customs later merged with the Christian celebration of Saint Andrew's Day on November 30th. In Celtic tradition: The pre-Christian festival was called Samhain and marked the end of summer and the harvest (on October 31st). The Celts also believed that on this night, spirits could return to Earth. To ward them off, they wore costumes and lit bonfires. This tradition formed the basis for the modern Halloween.
