    November's Eve.
    On November Eve girls get up at 12 o'clock pm. They sit before the mirror and eat an apple. If the girl has courage enough to look in the mirror she can see her future husband in it.
    Every November night the poor souls come and stay up in the rafters listening to see which of their relatives would say a prayer for them. When the people say a prayer for the poor souls, the poor souls go away quite satisfied.
