- If a girl went out to a barn to riddle corn at twelve o'clock on Hallow Eve night, her future husband would appear to her and take the riddle out of her hands. Another custom was if a person took a ball of yarn to a kiln and unbind it to the bottom and hold one end in their hand, when he would say who is there a voise wold would answer "I am."
