  • Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,

  • a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covert Garden.

  • My name is Dan Shriver, I'm sitting here with James Harkin, Andy Murray, and Anna Chazinski,

  • and once again, we have gathered around the microphone with our four favorite and spooky facts from the last seven days.

  • For this, our Halloween special, and in no particular order, here we go.

  • Okay, fact number one, Andy.

  • My fact is that until the year 635 AD, Halloween was on the 12th of May.

  • Why was it on the 12th of May and why did we change it?

  • Well, it's only really on the 12th of May because Halloween is the day before All Saints Day.

  • Yeah, I was under the impression that that was the first of November.

  • Yes, well, basically Halloween is part of the All Hallow Tide Festival.

  • That's three days, which is All Hallows Eve, which we call Halloween,

  • All Hallows Day or All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

  • It was introduced in 609 AD, but it was on the 13th of May and everyone would travel to Rome and do pilgrimages there.

  • But in 835, Gregory IV, who was then the Pope,

  • said that it should become the first of November, and we're not really sure why.
