- Halloween
On Hallow eve night people eat apples and nuts. Men go about and frighten people. They puts vizards on their faces and they put on old clothes. People buy Barn Bracks with rings in them. People say whoever gets the ring will be the first to get married. Children play games. They hang up an apple from the roof by a string and they try to bite it without putting their hands on it. They get a tub of water and put an apple init and try to bite it in the water.Bunty Gray
