The term "Halloween" probably originated from the fact that it was the day when witches gathered to cast spells and pronounce curses on people. Some versions of these stories suggest that witches had the ability to shapeshift into cats, which gave rise to the superstition that black cats were cursed or brought bad luck. In many parts of the world, unfortunately, black cats were persecuted on Halloween or used in sacrificial and black magic rituals. Furthermore, there is a belief that to find a witch on Halloween, simply wear your clothes backwards and walk backwards at night. Legend says that, exactly at midnight, a witch will appear before anyone who follows this custom.
