Interpretation
This anonymous proverb reflects Halloween’s long-standing association with heightened perception and contact with the unseen. In folk belief, Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve) is a liminal night when boundaries between the ordinary world and the supernatural grow thin; to be born under such a sign is to carry that liminality into one’s life. “Shall see more” can be read literally (second sight, visions, ghosts, fairies) or figuratively (uncommon insight, sensitivity, or intuition). The saying functions as a piece of seasonal folklore: it both flatters and warns, suggesting that special knowledge comes with exposure to uncanny realities others are spared.
