The best clue for how trick or treat got started comes to us from the Middle, or Dark Ages, when the Catholic Church approved the act of "souling". This event was devised so that beggars could go around asking for food, usually barley or oat cakes, in exchange for prayers. The Catholic Church said the prayers were an extra bit of "insurance" that a dead person's spirit would be given entry into heaven. Soul Cake day is no longer in common practice in England, but it is still rather popular in Scotland and Ireland and from this, it is believed, the concept of trick or treat arose.

Trick or treating became more widely practiced throughout the 20th century. The original idea was that if you did not give a "treat" to the “trick or treaters” they would then play a "trick" on you. While egging house or car windows or papering someone's house or tree could be considered harmless fun.
