Hi!!
Halloween is so close and I'm so excited!!! I thought I'd do something different and instead of a Halloween recipe or costume idea, I'm going to be telling you 9 wacky facts about the holiday!
1. Jack O'Lanterns were originally made from turnips
2. Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween
3. The largest pumpkin ever weighed 836lbs!
4. Scottish girls believed they could see images of their future husband if they hung wet sheets in front of the fire in Halloween. Other girls believed they would see their boyfriend's faces if they looked into mirrors while walking downstairs at midnight on Halloween.
5. Children are more than twice as likely to be killed in a pedestrian/car accident on Halloween than on any other night.
6. According to tradition, if a person wears his or her clothes inside out and then walks backwards on Halloween, he or she will see a witch at midnight.
7. Ireland is believed to be the birthplace of Halloween.
8. Halloween is the second highest grossing holiday after Christmas.
9. Halloween has variously been called All Hallows'Eve, Witches Night, Lamswool, Snap-Apple Night, Samhaim and Summer's End.
And so that is the best 9 facts I could find!! I hope you learnt something but if you didn't then you must be a genius!!
Chin up, keep smiling and always be yourself
