The last week of October sees the gathering of numerous small gouls and witches culminating in the festival of Halloween. This is the night of the witches and no adult is safe even in their home. The presence of these mischief makers is often revealed by the sudden appearance of weird orange heads with candles inside them. Small children tend to fall under the witches spell and walk around the locality in gangs demanding bags of sweets from all they meet. There is no cure for this pest but damage can be kept to a minimum by ensuring there are plenty of cakes and sweets close to hand.
