I never heard of another case of shivereeing being done until about ten years later on the wedding night of Benji Blauwkamp, so I don't think it was a common thing, but to me it sure was a curious thing, perhaps done only in Borculo. However I have learned it is practiced in Europe and all of North America.
The Wikipedia says, “All in fun – it was just a shiveree, you know, and nobody got mad about it. At least not very mad “
