        Things you should know about Halloween

Halloween

·        If you go out on Halloween, make sure you donīt travel in the dark. If you do then carry a piece of bread with some salt on it. This will protect you if you meet a supernatural being.

·        Halloween was once thought to be the best time for predicting the future. If a girl wanted to know who her  future husband would be, she would brush her hair in front of a mirror and hope to see his reflection. Iff she wanted to know his name then she would peel and apple in one long strip and throw it over her left shoulder. The peel would fall in the form of a letter, the initial of her future husbandīs name.

·        If someone wanted to know if they would have a lucky year, they put apples and a sixpence in a tub of water. If the person could extract either of them with his mouth ( without using his teeth), he or she would have a lucky year.

·        Make sure that you shut all your windows and doors on Halloween.If a poltergeist gets in, it may never leave.

·        Avoid  crossroads at Halloween. It is here that withes meet, and spirits do business with the Devil.
