The Mysterious Origin of Halloween - Randall Carlson | After Skool
Summary
Host Randall Carlson explores the ancient origins of Halloween, arguing it stems from a universal "Festival of the Dead" tied to the Pleiades constellation and the Taurid meteor stream. He cites historical texts and astronomical data to link the holiday to a global catastrophe involving fire and flood, suggesting the meteor stream contains massive asteroids that could threaten Earth. The episode connects these celestial events to myths of world destruction across various cultures, including Mesoamerican and European traditions.
