They believed in the spirit of Samhain that Samhain would summon all the dead souls on October 31 to walk through animals and Earth. Celtic priests will build a great fire on the hill to give him the power to the sun and eliminate darkness.

They sacrificed animals to help the sun god and burn dried crops. They will begin to worship Samhain at midnight. Ember of the bonfire can lead people to burn firewood in their own homes to avoid evil spirits.
