SpookyCaching - Oct. 31, 2025
In 2025, as of September 20th, there are 40 active events scheduled, which appear to be associated with Halloween, within 3,000 miles of the continental USA. This event will make the count 41.
A brief note about Halloween:
The origins of Halloween can be traced back all the way to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain – pronounced ‘sow-in’ in Gaelic language. It was originally an event that marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter in Ireland. The day after, on 1 November, would mark the ancient Celts’ new year.
Like other ancient Gaelic festivals, Samhain was seen to be a liminal time, when the boundaries separating the spiritual world and the real world were reduced. This is why Halloween has become associated with appearance of spirits, fairies and ghosts from the mythical ‘Otherworld’.
Here’s the list of the 40 “Halloween” themed events of 2025. Excluding this one.
