Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival, marks the profound transition from the harvest season into the darker half of the year. It is a time steeped in mystery and primal dread, when the veil between the world of the living and the Otherworld is believed to be at its thinnest.

After being killed and buried, he'd rise again the next day, demanding bowls of blood from his people's veins to sustain his undead lifestyle. Talk about a demanding boss! 🥣

The solution? A warrior named Cathain finally put him down permanently with a sword of yew wood, buried him upside down, and topped his grave with thorns. Medieval problem-solving at its finest! 🗡⚰️

Some say Bram Stoker borrowed this tale for a little book called "Dracula"—though Abhartach would definitely leave a one-star review for stealing his brand.
