    The old people say that the month of November is kept for the holy souls they say if you were coming from visiting you would hear them cry out to help them in prayer. Another game that is played they put two nuts beside the fire and put a boys name on one and a girls name on the second if they jump into each other they will never be married. I heard this from my uncle named James Kelly Feenone
