The “fun or frightening?” part of the title about Olympic mascots reeled me in. However, one sentence in particular sent me down the research rabbit hole. “Over the decades, the world has welcomed snowmen, sasquatches, cowboy-hat-wearing bears and aliens to the Olympic stage,” the CNN article reported. “Wait.

“Wait, wait, wait,” I said when I noticed where the link that a friend had shared with me led. Before that, all I’d been able to see was the video’s title: “Step inside the record-breaking Haunted Hotel! – Meet The Record Spookers.” Of course, I was interested in watching it,Continue Reading

It’s a weird Mandela effect thing that a lot of people misremember.” The Berenstain Bears Mandela effect was the last thingContinue Reading
Last October, Spirit Halloween released three very creepy Hitchhiking Ghosts masks, one for each of them. I first learned about the forthcoming Haunted Mansion bar on a post about the masks. (Thanks again, Maria!) The bar’s official title is the Haunted Mansion Parlor, and it—along with Phineas, Ezra, and Gus—willContinue Reading
