0:00.0	Hey guys, I'm Chastity, and you're listening to the Ancient Conspiracies podcast, where we connect
0:06.6	the origins of some of the most popular conspiracy theories to biblical history.
0:12.5	Well, welcome back to the podcast. I have a very interesting episode for you today.
0:17.9	Now, lots of this information I've known for years, but as I was researching more
0:21.5	about the specific traditions within Halloween, I came across some very intriguing connections.
0:27.5	I was expecting to unveil the pagan roots of Halloween, which many of you may have heard or be

1:23.6	Today, I'm simply presenting the history of this holiday, and you can do with it what you
1:29.5	will. So with that, let's talk about the history of Halloween and how it became the modern
1:34.5	celebration that we know today. Then we're going to end up in a place that I think will surprise you.
1:39.5	It's a true ancient conspiracy that I've never heard mentioned before. So in terms of retail sales,
1:47.4	Halloween is one of the most popular holidays second only to Christmas. And it's estimated that
1:53.4	Americans spent $10 billion with a B, $10 billion on Halloween in 2021.
