Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good
news Halloween stories. These are a lot of fun to do.
I'm gonna miss this when this is over. In Mansfield, Ohio,
they have the town's Blood Prison haunted attraction and their
new Christmas Incarceration event. We are told the town legally
invites all to experience the Christmas holiday in festive season,
steeped in spirits, haunted Reformatory, Blood Prison, and holiday horror.
All or legally and safely invited to the Reformatory Reform Prison.
With the town's unique combination of holiday stress and well
protected incorporated spine and soul chilling shriek bands. That's right,
Blood Prison guests will confront some of the most extreme
horror in the US. Guests will roam through the whole
a darkened solitary and haunted solitary confinement area, and have
encountered with sickly twisted guards and lunatic prisoners. According to
scare factor dot com, this is one of the ten
best haunted houses in the country, and as we start
to transition out of Halloween into Christmas, they will switch
over to Christmas Incarceration for two weekends in December. Christmas
incarceration is the perfect event for people who like to
celebrate the holidays on the darker side. Picture an endless
hall where the ghosts of Christmas are lurking around. In
Spain and Catalonia, they have temporarily banned the adoption of
black cats from animal shelters why to prevent potentially sinister
rituals during Halloween. No black cat adoptions until November tenth.
One of the officials say, we try to prevent people
from adopting because it's trendy or impulsive, and in cases
like that which we know exist, to prevent any macabre practices.
A recent check show the adoption center had around one
hundred cats, twelve of which are black. In Minnesota, a
museum opened a seasonally appropriate exhibit of creepy dolls. That's right,
it's the History Center of Olmsted County's new exhibit, Creepy
Dolls Loose in the Vaults, featuring unsettling dolls paired with
various objects from the Rochester Museum Archives. Chris coordinates the
exhibit and said the idea is the dolls were let
loose in the vaults, they curate the show, and they
pick the objects they relate to the most. What I'm
really interested in is what people resonate with and why
they connect with these objects, what takes them back in
their mind and the memories of their childhood. All the
dolls were donated by members of the community. He explains,
the doll has to come from Olmsted County. We really
want everything to be tied to Olmsted County. At the
University of Montana, they've been trying to figure out. Every
year a pumpkin shows up and paled on the spire
on top of the main hall. How does it get there?
A pumpkin recently showed up for the thirtieth consecutive year.
A climber offered some clues. The climber gave an anonymous
interview to NBC Montana and explained, just using parts of
the clock until you're right at the top, as you
can see the green roof, it's just some sort of
roof tile that if it has any condensation like it
usually does in a fall day a full night, it's
pretty slippery. Multiple lookouts all through the campus mill of
the night, then two climbers up top and everybody looking
out for the campus security with radios and group techs.
The anonymous climbers said the school tried to make the
tradition safer by hiring pros to just do it, but
the mystery person said the university hired some outsourced people
to put it up safely and not put students at risk.
But being climbers, we still try to raise them to
do it first. Okay, as we wind down here and
you've got your pumpkin, you're like, all right, what do
I do with it? Hey? You can keep your pumpkin
until Christmas. A woman has shared a simple trick to
make your Halloween pumpkin last for months. You need one ingredient.
All right, what do we gotta do? White vinegar? You see,
carve pumpkins begin to deteriorate once they've been cut. The
living plant tissue becomes more exposed to germs and bacteria
in the air, So the moment you carve, the countdown begins.
Once moisture accumulates, enzymes quickly start to break down the
cell walls. One expert says, I mix equal parts white
vinegar and water in a spray bottle and give my
pumpkins of good sprits before displaying them. The vinegar kills,
the bacteria and the mold. She claims last year, my
pumpkins lasted four months. Won't you guys try that out
and report back to me. And those are your five
good news Halloween stories. Trick or treat
