Halloween was an oc- casion of popular superstitions and observances in all countries It was considered that fairies. witches, gob- lins and imps of all Kinds were espe- cially active at this time
 Among the young people the most popular games played were those divining the future and various myst- ical or playful ceremonies were per formed with the view of revealing flu ture husband and wife.
