TRIVIA BITS - HALLOWEEN - MYTHS 2
Put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards on Halloween night to meet a witch.
The old Celtic custom was to light great bonfires on Halloween, and after these had burned out to make a circle of the ashes of each fire. Within this circle, and near the circumference, each member of the various families that had helped to make a fire would place a pebble. If, on the next day, any stone was displaced, or had been damaged, it was considered to be an indication that the one to whom the stone belonged would die within twelve months.
To cast a headless shadow or no shadow at all is still believed by many folks in the United States and Europe to be an omen of death in the course of the next year.
You should walk around your home three times backwards and counterclockwise before sunset on Halloween to ward off evil spirits.
