According to Celtic-derived folk belief, precipitation occurring specifically on Halloween night—particularly unexpected or sudden rainfall during trick-or-treating or ceremonial activities—indicates heightened spiritual activity and thinned boundaries between physical and spiritual realms. This meteorological spiritual sign supposedly reflects ancestors and other supernatural entities actively participating in the night’s events, using rainfall to mark their presence and observation of human activities. Some traditions specify different interpretations based on precipitation characteristics: gentle rain suggests benevolent ancestral blessing; stormy conditions indicate more complex spiritual energies; while brief, localized showers might target specific locations or individuals for supernatural attention.
