9. Wearing animal skins
Throughout history, tribes have worn costumes to connect with the spirits of the dead. This often consisted of animal heads and skins.
The tradition lasted the test of time and was used in the modern day celebration of Samhain, which inspired Halloween in the USA.
10. Cabbage night
Coming from a Scottish fortune telling game, girls often used cabbage stumps in order to predict their future husbands on the night of Halloween.
In Framingham, Massachusetts, teens often skipped the fortune telling, and preferred simply throwing cabbage at their neighbours houses.
