And the ghosts used to wander around at night and they would gather the Indian people, they would scare them around, that’s what I should have said. They would scare the people around. Second paragraph: The witch woman went around and gathered little children and she would put them into her [Sahaptin], her cedar basket, and she would eat them. The bad little children. And the bats, they came out at night, and they flew around at night and they bit the people. And black widow spider came out of his web and he was going around biting people. Everything that was bad happened at night, that’s when [Sahaptin] became angry and he told them “You folks are eating too many people! From now on, you will only come out one night, one year, and you will no longer hurt and eat people. And that’s when this Halloween happened, called Halloween [Sahaptin], just once a year. One night. This is a recording entitled “Auditory Perception” it’s called [Sahaptin].
