- An old custom on Hallow E'en is to cut an apple and to try and keep the peelings in one long piece and throw it over your head and it would form the initials of the person you will marry.
- Another custom is to put a lot of cups in a row they are filled with lemonade, water, sand, milk, an egg, and nuts, and you are blindfolded and turned round and round and which ever cup you stop in front of you must drink it
