BLOODY MURDER
THIS IS A ROUNDABOUT VERSION OF THE OLD STANDARD
"HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK." IN THIS GAME, THE PERSON WHO IS
CHOSEN "IT" HAS TO RUN AND HIDE, WHILE EVERYBODY
ELSE HAS TO STAY AT THE GOAL AND COUNT TO 100.
THEY BREAK UP, AND THE FIRST PERSON TO FIND THE "IT"
SHOUTS "BLOODY MURDER," AND EVERYONE RUNS BACK TO THE
GOAL. NOW, THE "IT" PERSON CHASES THEM, AND CAN TAG
ANYONE HE PLEASES, NOT JUST THE ONE WHO SHOUTED
"BLOODY MURDER." THE PERSON HE TAGS THEN HAS TO BE
"IT"--IF HE DOES NOT TAG ANYONE, THEN HE STILL
MAINTAINS THAT POSITION.

ON THE EVENING OF NOVEMBER 1ST (THE DAY BEFORE ALL
SOULS DAY) IT IS A CUSTOM TO PLACE A GLASS OF
WATER ON A LEDGE OUTSIDE A WINDOW SO THAT THE MANY
SOULS WHO WILL BE GOING TO HEAVEN THAT DAY DUE TO
THE SPECIAL PRAYERS SAID FOR THEM, WILL BE ABLE TO
HAVE A DRINK OF WATER, WHILE ON THEIR WAY. THESE SOULS,
GRATEFUL FOR THE COOLING WATER, WILL THEN REMEMBER
YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN PURGATORY.

FESTIVAL CUSTOM (PRESUMABLY CHINESE)
THERE ARE A SEQUENCE OF GHOST FESTIVALS IN JULY IN
DIFFERENT VILLAGES, WHERE IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR
GHOST, YOU GET INSIDE A BAMBOO CAGE WHICH ORIGINALLY
HELD CHICKENS. THE THOUGHT BEHIND THIS IS THAT YOU
CAN OBSERVE YOUR GHOST WITHOUT BEING SEEN INSIDE THE
CAGE.
