The custom of telling ghost stories on Halloween also comes from the Druids as they sat around the bonfires talking about strange happenings they had experienced. Typical Halloween pranks are soaping windows, writing on doors with crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep them ringing, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends. Police officers are watchful, but they only arrest those caught doing real damage. In order to help keep kids off the streets and out of trouble, many organizations have Halloween parties. Prizes are given for the best costumes.
Some communities build a bonfire.
The children may sit around the bonfire telling scary stories while roasting hot dogs or toasting marshmallows. However, a note of warning is needed. Halloween has become more dangerous over the years for both children and adults. Because of the number of kidnappings and murders, children are not safe on the streets anymore. Now children have to be careful with the candy they get.
