• Another version of an Irish legend tells about a man named Stingy Jack, who invited the Devil to have a drink. When it came the time to pay, he convinced the Devil to change into a sixpence, but instead of paying for the drink Jack pocketed the sixpence and kept it stored beside a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back. Jack made a deal with the Devil before letting him free that the Devil could not harass him. Next Halloween Jack died and he was turned back from the Gates of Heaven. He went to the Gates of Hell and the Devil told him to go away, as Jack had made him promise not to claim his soul. Jack didn't want to leave because it was dark and he couldn't find his way. The Devil tossed Jack a glowing coal and Jack put it inside a turnip, and ever since with this "Jack O' Lantern", Stingy Jack's lonely soul has been roaming the faces of this earth

Trick-or-treating is another Halloween tradition, in which costumed children go from one house to another soliciting candy or other treats from their neighbors. According to this custom, children greet each homeowner with the cry "Trick or Treat," suggesting that some sort of hoax will be played unless treats are provided. Formerly, trick-or-treaters vandalized the house if no treats were produced or if the treats met with their disapproval.

• Cats have been considered by many to be spiritual animals. They have been worshiped in many societies and are thought to have the ability to sense good and evil spirits. Western superstitions would have us believed that black cats have special powers, that they can represent spirits or even incarnated humans, thereby linking black cats to occultism. The color black is also commonly linked to the dark realm.

• Scarecrows Known by different names throughout the world, the scarecrow is commonly used as a means of scaring unwanted flying visitors away. Commonly they are dressed in ragged garb and mounted crucifix style to a pole or wooden stake. Though the origins are unknown, they are associated with Halloween and fall holidays in modern culture.

• The black cat and her kittensA great Halloween game for children which is neither too tricky or too scary for them.One child is chosen as the black cat and he is taken from the room for a moment. The rest of the children then take their places around the room, laying their heads on their arms so that they cannot see anything. The game leader touches several children on their heads, tapping them as the black cat’s kittens. When the black cat returns to the room, the kittens softly meow for their mother, and the mother attempts to locate them by their meows. The first kitten to be found takes the mother cat’s place for the next round, but the rest must keep up their meowing until every last kitten is found.

• Ghost StoriesSetting the scene for a scary story is what is needed for maximum effect. Your story could be a real life haunting, a classic ghost story, or an urban legend. Candles, strange noises and even a hidden prankster ( to jump out at the right moment, or squeak some floorboards) will all provide suitable 'fright'.
