This is a must-have for any Halloween fanatic. Host Harry Smith leads this 3,000 year tour through the history of the quintessentially pagan holiday which has survived to become one of America's most popular holiday. For centuries this night has celebrated mystery and chaos, a time between summer and winter, and a New Year. On October 31 we are actually carrying on a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the Celtic tribes of northern Europe.

Ancient Mysteries: Witches
A great one for Halloween! The history of Witchcraft and Witches from the pagan times of old to modern day covens and what they do.
