In Sweden And Finland, The Thursday Before Easter Is The Time For Trick-Or-Treating Witches

We're just a few days away from Easter for many people around the world. For kids in Finland and Sweden, the Thursday before Easter is itself a pretty important time: it’s when they turn themselves into witches. Plus: today in 1967 was the last episode of the sitcom Gilligan’s Island. So we've got a story about a time the TV audience of the 60s stood up for the Skipper and his little buddy. Easter in Sweden comes in many shapes and forms. But there's no getting around the eggs (or the witches).
