Curiosities of Superstition by W. H. Davenport Adams

"It was on Halloween, or All Hallows' Eve, that superstition ran riot..."   Trick or treat!   Aurelien explores the spooky archives of Project Gutenberg and comes back with 1880s non-fiction takes on Scottish Halloween traditions. How is bobbing for apples part of a divination ritual? Is any of this actually spooky? Join around the cauldron for readings and stories from "Curiosities of Superstition, and Sketches of Some Unrevealed Religions" (1882) by W. H. Davenport Adams.    Read it for yourself: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/41566/41566-h/41566-h.htm    -- Want more random reads?
