The Haunted Palace

The bedroom door slammed, and I dove for my bed. Somewhere downstairs, glass shattered. Rain pounded the windows, and the wind howled outside. There was no escape. The spirit was here. It all began earlier, when I decided to do one of the three haunted houses down the street from our rented house for my research project. Not that I believe in ghosts, of course. Today was my day to gather information. I’m on my way to the old Perella house now, where my tour starts. I glanced out the car…

Full disclosure, the first time Great America opened Halloween Haunt I worked there and it was scary; probably because it was new. This year Times videographer, Hugo Legend and I attended Great America’s Haunt for media day. The free tickets, dinner and exclusive VR experience were a nice gesture but our initial haunt experience was underwhelming. Granted we opted out of visiting the mazes, which I know from having gone through them in the past, are creative and if you’re into that sort of…

In the haunted genera there are common characteristics that every book or film upholds which qualify them as haunted. These consist of specific locational characteristics, common plots, character archetypes, and a common trope. Although, Frailty doesn’t directly have these, in many ways they are fulfilled through other means. Throughout, the movie we see flashbacks to three specific locations that parallel with those that are commonly in haunted movies. The first of which is the bedroom.…

Alright I'll tell you of a time when i found a razor balde in a piece of candy on halloween. It was very cold, but vey dry halloween night. On every holiday my family and I go over board on decorations . I was mostly in charge that year because my dad was on a business trip.

between the four of us with one person just paying sixty dollars a month.In the apartment, there were plenty of windows that should light up the apartment nicely but despite that the house was still dim. None of us would have imagined that it was haunted. Often at night, we'd hear something that sound like footsteps but thought nothing of it as might because the apartment being old. One night when we just finished our semester, we were all excited that we did well in our classes. Jim and I went…

Lock- in Scare Have you ever convinced your friends you were a ghost? In the middle of a stormy night, I became a ghost. At the junior high lock- in, I gave my friends Nicole, Olivia, Anna, and Brittney the scare of a lifetime.

Even though I was the ghost in the situation, there was another unexplained phenomenon. About every thirty seconds the radio…

around but no one was there. I felt a gust of wind go by me so my first instinct was to run. I ran and ran but all the openings were shut. I realized that I was trapped and I didn’t know if I was alone or not. I was scared like a little girl in a haunted corn maze. Then it happened... (Sadie)…

What’s Your Favorite Type of Halloween Candy? By Mikayla Honeywell What’s your favorite type of halloween candy? Personally mine is all things chocolate. The satisfying smell of the freshly opened chocolate, the sweetness you taste, and the extra energy it gives you. I love all of that about it. To begin with I just love the smell of chocolate. It smells like a sweet thing of joy. The smell prepares you to bite into a sweet tasting snack. Sure it has sugars but I know it’s worth it. The…
