Happy Halloween!

First things first, there's a ghost in my shower.

Second things second: Don't forget to listen to Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters.

Excited about Halloween this year (and a habitual autumn-lover), I've been making a few YouTube shorts while out shopping. 







I also read a "spooky" (cute) board book with monsters.

And here's what I did last Saturday. Note the local authors and dancing witches.


This is a good podcast episode for Halloween: Author Colin Dickey goes to Nevada's legal brothel, Mustang Ranch, to interview some of the sex workers there, learns the ghost lore of the Ranch, and possibly has a ghost encounter of his own.


If you're an enjoyer of vintage Halloween, and in particular the Halloween of 100 years ago, here are some additional videos you might enjoy. This one recounts a 1925 journalist's understanding of the history of Halloween.


These are some Halloween newspaper clippings from October 11th through October 23rd, 1925.


Here's an interesting artifact of early 20th century culture: The Yama Yama Man.
