Why do People Wear Masks during Halloween?

The tradition of wearing masks during Halloween stems from the same root as why people wear costumes during Halloween. It started a long time ago when Celtic people believed that around October the border between the human world and the world was blurred. This would cause many wandering souls to move around between lives. To avoid these souls from disturbing them, the citizens disguise themselves using scary costumes and masks so the wandering souls cannot recognize them.

During this time, people also prank their neighbors and blame the wandering soul for it. This is the root of the later-known trick-or-treat tradition.

Today, the costume culture has shifted as fewer people wear actual scary costumes for Halloween. The tradition's objective has also changed from hiding from the souls to festive celebrations.
