The Demon Samhain in Supernatural
The demon Samhain can be summoned by two powerful witches through "three blood sacrifices over three days, the last on the final day of harvest," which is the 31st of October, Halloween. Once Samhain has risen, he is able to raise ghosts, zombies, and ghouls and unleash them onto the world.
Samhain is the origin of Halloween. When he rained on earth, people kept their children in that night. People wore costumes to hide from him, carved pumpkins to worship him and left sweets at their doors to appease him.
Samhain, once summoned by Tracy Davis and Don Harding, he possesses the dead body of Don Harding. When he enters the body, the corpse's irises turn milky white, while his pupils stay black, marking him as a different kind of Demon than has appeared on the show before.
Powers and Abilities
In the episode "The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester" Samhain shows multiple abilities. Sam tells Dean that Samhain, if risen, will have the ability to raise monsters such as zombies and demons to do his bidding. This is proven when Samhain locks a group of students in a mausoleum and zombies attack them. Also, he seems to share with Lilith the ability to have the fiery white light emanate from his palms.
