“Many games are played on Halloween night such as...”
Many games are played on Halloweve night such as:- A girl when eating her supper leaves three parts of her supper 1st part, middle part and the last part. She must leave them on a plate along with a knife and fork. She must go to bed without speaking a word. While she is asleep a shadow of her intended appears in a dream.
Another one is:- a girl goes to a place where a briar grows. She must go under the briar three times. She then cuts the briar and puts it under her head and she must sleep on it and she will dream. Sometimes a good dream and sometimes a bad one. - Collector
