[31 Days of Halloween] October 17

Haunted hotels, spooky self-care tips and a new topic to research and obsess about

Good evening, ghosties and ghoulies,

Happy Fri-yay!

Poltergeist by M.C. Escher (1932) (Thank you Bryan!)

Oregon has a lot of eerie properties (including the Stanley Hotel [exterior only] from The Shining, aka Timberline Lodge), but I had no idea there were so many haunted hotels! Road trip, anyone? (Thanks Mike!)

Seasonal self (s)care tips by Gemma Correll (click through for more - thanks Rainbow!)

Want to add a fun podcast to your queue? You’re Wrong About has an episode about ‘Midnight Ghost Shows’, stage shows that became popular during the Great Depression and lasted through the 60s. I’m partway through listening but I can already tell this is a new rabbit hole/obsession for me so I wanted to share it. (Thanks Prof!)

Rest in pieces,
Laura
