  2. On a Hollowee'en night it is an old cutom to go to bed at ten o'clock. If you don't go at that time you will find some noise in the house. On a Hallowe'en night, all the fairies are out. They are in great humour that night. if you could catch a fairy on that night, it is said he would bring you to a crock of gold.
