Eve because it was the eve of All Hallows Day (Ist of November).
Hallow is an old word for saint and today we call the 1st of
November All Saints Day.
In the 4th century the Church began to celebrate a feast to all
the martyrs. At first it was celebrated on the first Sunday after
Pentecost (in late May or early June). The Eastern Orthodox
Churches still celebrate it on that day. However in the West in
609 or 610 Pope Boniface IV moved the feast of all martyrs to
13 May. Then in the 8th century Pope Gregory III (731-741)
made the 1st of November a feast to remember all saints and it
became known as All Saints Day or All Hallows Day.
After the 16th Century Reformation All Saints Day and
Halloween were virtually forgotten in most of England, along
with most other saints days. However Halloween continued to be
observed in Scotland and Ireland. There was a belief that ghosts
and witches were particularly active on that day.
3. Modern Halloween
In the 18th century in Ireland Halloween became a day for
playing pranks like blocking doors with carts, removing gates,
and covering chimneys with turf. The pranks and mischief
making was done by adults and without knocking on your door to
demand a 'treat' and carrying out a 'trick' if you did not give
something.
In the mid-19th century Irish and other immigrants took
Halloween customs to the USA and by 1900 it was a popular
festival. Playing pranks such as moving farm animals, removing
gates etc. were common.
The Irish also hollowed out turnips and put candles in them. (The
origin of this custom is not known). In the USA the turnip became
a pumpkin.
The custom of children playing trick or treat at Halloween seems
to have begun in the USA in the early 20th century although it
only became really popular in the mid-20th century.

5. Using the text below, answer and discuss the
questions that follow.
One of my favourite things to do when I was a little girl was to
stay with my granddad. So I'd go to stay with him on the holidays,
and he would often tell me stories, or sing songs for me, so I
learned a lot from him.
But one of my favourite things, like I said was to listen to his
stories and around Halloween sometimes, or if we asked him at
other times when it was getting dark or a bit scary we'd ask him
to tell us a ghost story,
So one of, yeah, one of the first ghost stories I remember was him
telling us about a time when he was quite young, I think he was
in his early twenties maybe, and he was already married but he
went back to his parents house one night to just, to meet his
family and friends, have a game of cards maybe with friends who
were gathered there.
So it got pretty late because they had been playing cards for a
long time having some fun so he didn't want to leave and then
eventually, he and his friends decided,
OK, we'd better leave and better go back home.
So the two of them were walking together towards their house but
in between his parents house and his new home they had to pass
a graveyard.
6. So these two guys, young men, I suppose, they weren't very happy
with the idea of going past a graveyard very late at night, because
you know, they're lots of stories about ghosts and spirits hanging
around at that time of night, so they were approaching the
graveyard and they were a bit scared and they were wondering
whether they should turn back or keep going. Be strong and brave
about it.
So they were approaching the graveyard and suddenly my
granddad saw what he thought was a priest sitting on the wall.
So he say a man dressed in black, with a white collar, and he was
so frightened, I mean, I can't imagine what he must have said at
the time, but he and his friend were really, really scared, and they
were talking between themselves, "Oh, my God! What should we do?
What should we do?" But they were so frightened they couldn't
move.
So eventually, my granddad decided, OK, I'm just going to run for it.
I'm going to make a run for it. So all of a sudden, he decided and
he just ran straight past the graveyard, and then suddenly, this big
dog came jumping down from the wall of the graveyard, and my
granddad was so scared, he was like screaming, and everything. B
ut as it turned out it was just a sheep dog that he'd seen. So in the
dark of night, in those days of no road lights and street lights or
anything what he'd actually seen with his friend was a black sheep
dog with a white collar. So not a ghost after all.
