At that time, the favourite
pranks in

included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates. The Celts
believed that on this day the disembodied spirits of all those who had

the still-living did not want to be possessed on the night of
October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to

children and adults has been… all things Elvis… the most popular
being the Vegas era jumpsuits.
