america?

(12:14):
part of it, but if anna can giveme a better part of it, I'll
give it to her.
This one's interesting, so itgained traction so they would
stop doing the trick part, thenthat's exactly it to curb
pranking yeah apparently,pranking became the preferred
practice on halloween amongyoung people in the 1920s, but
it became dangerous during thegreat depression, devolving into

hunting was once a halloweentradition oh, like girls going
out looking for their newhusband back in the 18th century
, halloween was about tricks inmore ways than one.
At this time, people took toomany, took too many peculiar
(29:59):
methods to rewrite their realhalloween horror story.
Being single in the fall, thesetactful techniques included
lighting candles in front of amirror in a dark room to conjure
up the fact of a future lover,and even tossing apple peels
over their shoulders to form aninitial upon landing.
Rob (30:15):
Ooh.
Courtney (30:16):
Witchcraft, witchcraft .
Most of the other ones that Ihad found we had kind of already
figured out from our trivia.

only brightens the sky onceevery 19, halloweens.
Rob (30:33):
Oh, that was kind of interesting yeah, full moon on
Halloween is pretty rare.

give it to her.
