  1. On Halloween Night, here is a great Trick to do. Two basins are put on a table, and there is Holy water in one, and clean water in the other. Then you're blindfolded and brought over to the table, if you put your hands in the dirty water, it is said you will get a bad wife, and if you your hand in the clean water, you will get a (gde) good wife. I succeeded in putting my hand in the clean water.
