  1. As you are asking in the geography category I will suggest a mountain range or a river.


  2. Hallowe'en  - Great day for kids!! Fun!! and Lots of candy  - dress-up in costumes and go house to house asking for candy by shouting 'Trick or Treat'.

    — has its origins in ancient Celtic festivals known as Samhain (Ireland)

    - Gaels believed that on Oct 31 (end of harvest time) the boundary between the living and dead was dissolved

    - the dead would then become dangerous so festivals were held

    - costumes, masks, bonfires - to please these dead/spirits - thought the spirits would ruin crops, bring sickness

    — part of the tradition was carried to other countries and now is an international fun type day for families with children

    - trick-or-treating, haunted houses, pumpkins (jack-o-anterns)

    Here is a good site that has more about the history and tradtions:

  3. halloween = halowed evening, when witches and sharlotons come out  31st october

    The origin of Halloween dates back before Christ. The Celtics' mythology taught that with the coming of winter, a season of the dead, came a night in which the spirits of the dead could freely roam about with humans

  4. It's "Halloween".

    It's the day before All Saint's Day, celebrated on October 31.
