Meeting a Halloween witch …

Legends tell of witches gathering twice a year when the seasons changed, on April 30 - the eve of May Day and the other on the eve of October 31 - All Hallow's Eve.

The witches gather on these nights, arriving on broomsticks, to celebrate a party hosted by the devil. Superstitions tell of witches casting spells on unsuspecting people, transform themselves into different forms and causing other magical mischief.

To meet a witch you have to put your clothes on wrong side out and you have to walk backwards on Halloween night. Then at midnight you see a witch … at least that’s what I did …
