		Nevertheless, I could swear that Mischief Night was traditionally an evening when kids were allowed to play tricks on adults; when things like toilet-papering the neighbors lawn, leaving doggy-doo on their porch, or egging their car, was more or less tolerated for that one evening.
		Mischief night and Halloween are one in the same.
		My mom, who is in her early sixties, said that the night before Halloween, in our lttle town in Virginia, all of the businesses downtown closed early and allowed the soaping of windows, toilet papering, etc. without any repercussions and that it was referred to as Mischief Night.

	You Say, “Goosey Night” and I Say, “Mischief Night” - Carol Barbieri - Atlantic Highlands Herald
		Mischief Night doesn’t seem to be nearly as popular these days as it was when I was growing up in Newark, NJ.
		I wonder why that is. Maybe it’s because all the kids who were creating mischief back then are now grown up with their own property to protect.
		And let’s face it; it’s a lot more fun to throw an egg at a car window on Mischief Night than it is to have to be the one to clean it off on Halloween morning.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| In praise of... Mischief Night
		It might seem idle to throw sand into the great commercial gale of trick-or-treat not least because the best way to encourage children to throw eggs and flmail householders out of Halloween sweets is by giving them pompous instructions not to.
		But there are some lessons to be learned, especially in the south of England, by a few deliberately mysterious references to Mischief Night, which is where the tradition of youthful misrule at this time of the year began.
		Mischief Night sees phantom door-knocking, gate-swapping and other minor acts of sabotage, but usually done with an awareness of targets which are appropriate and those which are not.

		Beginning in the 1970s the mischief became more destructive, particularly in Detroit's inner-city neighborhoods, and extended into hundreds of acts of arson and vandalism.

	Mischief Night: New & Selected Poems Harvard Review - Find Articles
		Mischief Night: New and Selected Poems by Roddy Lumsden, Bloodaxe Books, 2004, $23.95 paperback, ISBN 1852246723.
		Unfortunately, his latest collection, Mischief Night: New and Selected Poems, proves an unsatisfying and frustrating read, for, despite his considerable talent, Lumsden evidently has little to say.
		Whenever the poet is not 'oned' with the experience we can always detect the forcing, the insincerity." The talent displayed in Mischief Night suggests that, were he to commit to the task, Lumsden would eventually be able to "one" himself with his work.
