from I Can’t Sleep · host Benjamin Boster

Samhain is an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.

Along the way, you’ll hear about bonfires, seasonal traditions, the supernatural, and Samhain’s connections to later Halloween customs. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
