Halloween Informative Speech
Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Halloween? Though it’s a child-oriented holiday, the origins are much darker than you’d expect.
On a late afternoon in October in 1987, in a world where Halloween didn’t exist, as dusk was approaching, a group of four seventeen-year olds named Xavier, Eve, Antonio and Asuna were walking along the streets of Pickering, Ontario.
