Halloween night, also known as the "night of the witch," is a spooky and fun-filled holiday celebrated on the 31st of October each year. It is a night when the boundary between the living and the dead is believed to be blurred, and supernatural beings freely roam the earth. The origin of Halloween can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would light bonfires and dress up in costumes to ward off evil spirits. With the spread of Christianity, the holiday became associated with All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints' Day. One of the most iconic figures of Halloween is the witch. Witches are often depicted as old, haggard women with broomsticks and pointed hats, flying through the night sky on their way to secret gatherings called sabbaths.
A skilled operator can make human eyes follow the second hand in the expectation the coin will be there. However, a key part of the deception is hiding the thumb of the second hand in such a way that the audience thinks it is holding the coin. Garcia-Pelegrin wondered if this would work on less thumb-dependent animals.
They don t have as much control of their thumbs as capuchins or humans and can t perform precision grips, but were more easily fooled, winning their mealworm in only 7 percent of trials. Those with opposable thumbs like our own were taken in by the performance, sharing our expectations of how the actions would play out, while those that lack thumbs didn t see the point.
Witches are often depicted as old, haggard women with broomsticks and pointed hats, flying through the night sky on their way to secret gatherings called sabbaths. They are associated with magic, spells, potions, and cauldrons, and are believed to have the power to cast spells and curses. On Halloween night, witches are said to be at their most powerful.

Reviews for "Welcoming the Witch: Celebrating Halloween with Pagan Traditions"
- Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to read "Halloweeb night of the witch" because I love horror novels, but I was sorely disappointed. The plot was slow and predictable, and the characters were one-dimensional and hard to connect with. I found myself constantly checking how many pages were left, just hoping it would end. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this book and wouldn't recommend it to other horror lovers.
- Mike - 1/5 - "Halloweeb night of the witch" was a complete waste of my time. The writing was terribly amateurish, the dialogue was cringeworthy, and the story was an unoriginal cliché. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters or their fates. It was like the author was trying too hard to be scary and ended up with a mess of a book. Save your money and skip this one.
- Jenna - 2/5 - I wanted to like "Halloweeb night of the witch" since I'm a fan of supernatural stories, but I found it incredibly boring. The pacing was off, with long stretches of nothing happening, and then a rushed and unsatisfying ending. The main character was supposed to be strong and independent, but I found her to be annoying and unlikeable. I struggled to finish this book and felt let down by the lackluster storytelling.
