    dirty water foretold a widower.
    Hallow E'en. Ducking for apples- Apple suspended from rafter with coin inserted.
    Every girl was blindfolded and each one went into the garden and pulled a head of cabbage and brought it into the house, if it had a crooked leg it meant that that girl would get a husband with a crooked leg. Each girl brought home her own head of cabbage and put it up on the loft. The first man who would visit the house next morning would be the name-sake of her future husband.
