Summary
Halloween pranks.
Detailed information on Halloween pranks: stealing turnips and cabbage; putting turnips down chimneys; taking wheels from carts; pulling boats up from shore; and tying shoes to doors - they once tied a chamber pot! They dressed up and made their own masks. Boys and girls went round the houses together. There was a Halloween saying: "Oidhche Shamhna theirear gamhna ris na laoigh."
