31st, we celebrate

Halloween, thought to

be the one night of the

year when ghosts,

witches, and fairies are

especially active. So

what do people do on

Halloween Day in

England?

are hollowed out pup!ins

with a face cut in one side

and a candle put inside. "n the

old days people lit #res to scare

away bad spirits. $hey believed

light had power over dar!ness.

 $oday %ac!&o&lanterns are

supposed to frighten away

ghosts and witches.

One Halloween party

gae is called

'bobbing for

apples(. )pples

are put in a big bowl

full of water. $he players,

soeties blindfolded

ust ta!e an apple out of

the water without using

their hands.

On Halloween, when it was believed

that bad spirits cae bac! to the

earthly world, people thought they

would eet ghosts if they left their

hoes. $o avoid being recogni*ed

by ghosts people would wear as!s
