Many Halloween stories and games are hundreds of years old. Halloween customs date back to a time when people believed in devils and witches and ghosts. They thought that these evil spirits could do all kinds of damage to property. Some people tried to ward off witches by painting magic signs on their barns. Others tried to scare them away by nailing a piece of iron such as a horseshoe over the door. The children draw pictures or write on the windows with soap, decorate the rooms with paper moons, witches, bats, ghosts and black cats. The guests try to frighten one another by telling ghosts stories around an open fire.

Oh Halloween s the time of year When ghosts can really talk; The night when witches ride on brooms And skeletons can walk.

We put on masks and dress at night To scare the folks we meet; It s lots of fun to knock on doors And holler, «Trick or treat!»

Although our parents sometimes say «it s really quite annoying», I m sure they re only jealous of The fun we are enjoying.

Halloween is celebrated by children and adults who dress up as witches and ghosts,cats and spirits,bats and vampires, make lamps from pumpkins,and go from house to house asking for treat or trick. The sky is blue. The sky is blue. The sky is green. The sky is green. Have you got a penny Have you got a penny For Halloween? For Halloween?

At Halloween children make Jack- O – Lanterns: candles are put inside hollow pumpkins which have holes cut into them in the shape of eyes,nose and mouth. The customs refers to a man named Jack who still wanders around the earth lighting his way a pumpkin lantern.
