Has anyone else other than me heard of this? My Dad used to tell me tales of his generations "devils night" (ca. 1920's) being called as he would say it "cabbage stump nacht" which consisted of knocking over out houses and the old "flaming dog/horse feces burning in the bag on the porch" trick. Did anyone ever hear there parents/grandparents refer to this name?
