Ghosts Across America
THREE HAUNTED SPOTS EVERY GHOST BELIEVER WILL LOVE
October is one of the best months for travel in the U.S. With mild temperatures and gorgeous, colorful leaves, there’s no better time for a cross-country road trip. Add some Halloween flair with these three ghostly attractions.
Constructed in 1927, the hotel is host to a number of reported ghosts. The most well-known is an elderly woman who used to spend hours rocking in the chair in her room. Today, her chair can be found moving on its own. Another popular visitor is the ghost of a bellboy who knocks on doors and announces that room service has arrived — only, no one’s there. IS THERE A MONSTER IN PINE BARRENS, NEW JERSEY? This one’s for those who love mysterious creatures.
VISIT THE MOST HAUNTED TOWN IN THE U.S. — WAYNESVILLE, OHIO.
Sure, New Orleans may have a spooky past, but it doesn’t compare to Waynesville. Many residents and visitors think this Ohio town is rife with ghosts. You may hear cries to “hurry up” at The Hammel House Inn where many tunnels for the underground railroad came through. Or you could see the apparition of a businessman from the 1800s who “never checked out.” Other sources report hauntings at the town’s historical society, the Museum at the Friends Home, including a little girl who moves toys and sits on the porch. The society leans into the local fascination and hosts regular walking ghost tours and ghost hunting classes.
The Pine Barrens is a mass of forested land that spreads across seven counties in New Jersey — and its most famous resident isn’t human. The Jersey Devil has a long, storied history and is said to be a combination of many animals: Its body is shaped like a kangaroo with wings. It has the head of a dog but the face of a horse. The creature is believed to have had a sickly start to life in 1735 and has stayed to haunt the forest’s inhabitants and today’s visitors as well.

Achieve Mise en Place WITH THESE DIY KITCHEN STORAGE IDEAS
The perfect philosophy for organizing your kitchen is mise en place . Everything has its place. So, it’s time for those lids to stop piling up in a corner of your cabinet and pots to be stored properly! Here are a few DIY ideas that’ll make the tasks even easier. 1: PEGBOARD UTENSIL AND POT ORGANIZER Add a chic touch to your kitchen and make all your pans and cooking utensils easy to grab with a pegboard! Not only are pegboards constructed rather sturdily, but you can also paint and use metal hook inserts to hold all sorts of kitchen tools, from heavy pans to kitchen scissors. 2: UPCYCLED TIN CAN STORAGE Don’t throw away those used tin cans. Instead, repaint and/or label them for pastas, grains, spices, candies, snacks, and much more. Even in different sizes, you won’t run out of uses for these, since they can be potentially used as a gift container too! 3: HIDDEN MEASURING CUP HOOKS Tired of your measuring cups rattling in a drawer? Put small hooks inside a cabinet door to hang your measuring cups. You can use
stick-on hooks or drill a small bar of wood inside and attach hooks to the bar. This works great with any small utensils, but it works best if your cabinet’s interior isn’t stacked and overflowing with items.
4: POT AND PAN LID STORAGE BAR Everyone says keep your lid on, but nobody says what to do with your lid when it’s off. It’s annoying how often lids pile up inside your kitchen space — but if you install a single metal bar (yep, just one!), any lid with any type of middle grip can be stored on it. Just slide it on top, and the bar will hold up the lid, thanks to its handle preventing any fall. BONUS — EASY CHALKBOARD GROCERY/MENU LIST While this isn’t an “item storage” idea per se, it does make it easy to store and update your grocery list. First, use chalkboard paint on the inside (or outside) of one of your cabinets. Then, use chalk markers to create and update your weekly grocery list every time you run out of an ingredient. You can also use it for a menu during parties.
