3 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.

5 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!»
