Halloween used to be a great time for games and telling fortunes. Children, teenagers, and even the adults got in on the fun.
The needle threading test is one Halloween test I haven’t heard of before. This was published in a newspaper from 1914. I place it here for research purposes.
The Needle Threading Test
It is very hard to thread a needle when seated on a round bottle laid lengthwise on the floor. It will roll about in the most surprising fashion. The one who succeeds in threading the needle first will be the first to get married.
