HALLOWEEN
Ghost hunter: Author scares up eerie stories from Minnesota 
WINDOM — The figure of a man in a plaid shirt lurks in the shadows of a century-old theater, staring down a woman in the ticket booth before disappearing in a sideways “whoosh” that defies human capability.
A man gets lost in the blinding snow of a blizzard and perishes, but later shows up at his neighbor’s house to pinpoint the location of his own body.
The night clerk at a historic hotel experiences a period of bitter cold each night she works, in the midst of an extremely hot summer. In the same hotel, a lobby table lamp, a water faucet and a gas fireplace — the latter disconnected from a fuel source — turn on and off by themselves.

Halloween tradition will continue this year at Pioneer Village
After the many holidays observed in any year, there is one that is celebrated especially for children. However, that wasn’t the original reason, as it was originally a religious observance.

There was a time when I wouldn’t have considered eating a piece of cheese that had any sort of blue or green tinge to it. That’s mold, after all. But over the years, hubby Bryan has changed my mind about a number of culinary things, and blue cheese is one of them. I have come to appreci

Boo! Did I scare you? OK, I doubt it, but I’m just trying to get into the proper frame of mind for Halloween, which is fast approaching. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, probably because DotMom literally reveled in it. Not only did she en-courage her children to be crea
