Dog 'will have to be put down after its owner and his girlfriend had sex with it' Halloween falls on the eve of the Christian festival All Hallow’s Day, so is known as All Hallow’s Eve, Allhalloween or All Saints’ Eve. The origins of the festival date back to the time of the ancient Celts and the Celtic festival of Samhain in particular. Samhain – which is November in Irish, pronounced sow-in – was the festival that marked the end of summer and the harvest season. The Celts lived in Ireland, Britain and northern France and were pagans. The presence of these spirits made it easier for the Druids – Celtic priests – to make a prediction about the future.

"They had got the three out and they said, 'More feet,'" Fugate said. "'More feet' ... that's all I heard and I said, 'Nooo!'" A fourth identical quadruplet had somehow been missed by numerous ultrasounds, managing to keep her existence hidden until she popped out behind three of her identical sisters last week at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. "It's one surprise after another," Fugate said. The Fugate four, named Kenleigh Rosa, Kristen Sue, Kayleigh Pearl and Kelsey Roxanne after family members, arrived three months earlier than expected, and just a day before their mother's 42nd birthday. All four are currently doing well in neonatal intensive care after being born nearly 13 weeks premature. "I haven't been able to hold them yet," Fugate said. Dr. Also Read
