Chances are most of you celebrated Halloween on the 29th this year, what with it being a Saturday and all, but don't let the 31st pass you by!
Even if you've already consumed all the sugar (and alcohol) your body can handle, here are some traditional spooky Halloween activities to entertain yourself with:
You could try the Scottish way of predicting your future spouse, by carving an apple in one long strip, then tossing the peel over your shoulder. The peel is supposed to land in the shape of the first letter of your future spouse's name.
In the late 19th century, unmarried ladies would sit in a darkened room on Halloween and gaze into a mirror,waiting for the face of their future husband to appear in the mirror. If their destiny was to die before marriage, a skull would appear instead, which would probably be scary enough to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
