You americans and your halloween! Was i afraid!
(We in Germany traditionally had (have) instead the "Tanz in den
Mai", dance into May, where enthusiastic witches are riding their
broom. And dancing around fires on some magic hill, the Brocken
("chunk"). No customes, do not trust search, shall you do. It
mostly was sucked up by Halloween, unfortunately. Witches and
brooms, that ship has sailed in Germany...)
