Because of their loud, screeching sound and the fact that they come out at night, owls were believed by some people to be witches in disguise.

Halloween is lots of fun for kids, but it’s also important to be safe. The Mini Page provides some Halloween safety tips for kids and parents. s Choose your costume wisely. Choose a costume that doesn’t need a mask so that you can see clearly. Face paint and makeup can be used to give you a ghoulish grin! Also choose light colors and make sure you can easily walk in your costume without tripping. s Cross the street only at corners. Drivers can’t see kids who dart out between parked cars in the middle of a block. Wait until you reach the corner or a crosswalk to cross. s Carry a flashlight, and add reflective tape to your costume so that drivers can see you. s Stay with friends or adults. Don’t trick-or-treat by yourself. Don’t approach houses where no lights are on; this is a signal that the homeowners are not giving out treats. Don’t go inside the homes of strangers, even if you’re invited.

Are you planning to wear a costume for Halloween? This custom may have begun with the Druids, who wore masks and disguises in the hope that ghosts wouldn’t recognize them.

Jack-o’lanterns are carved pumpkins with a candle or other light placed inside. For many years, they’ve been used to decorate and light up Halloween night. Long ago in Great Britain, people carved lanterns in vegetables such as turnips. But carving jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween is probably a North American custom that came about in the mid- to late-1800s. “Jack-o’lantern” probably originally meant a night watchman.

Jack-o’-lanterns

Halloween has many customs that go along with it. Your family may have holiday traditions including carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating or attending parties.
