Halloween

For kids, Halloween is a night full of fun and sugar...lots and lots of sugar.  For parents, our senses are on high alert.  Walking among an over populated crowd of people.  Making sure the kids don't dart out into traffic.  Inspecting their candy.  It can be a very stressful evening.

Halloween is only three weeks away and it's time to start thinking about getting the pumpkins to decorate your home, for the kids to carve and for pumpkin pies. A great way to spend some time with your family is by going to a local pumpkin patch and picking out a pumpkin or two.

The burial grounds of Maine's famous, infamous, and plain folk are equal parks spooky and intriguing with tons of local folklore to add to the mystery.

Fort Knox in Prospect, Maine is known as one of Maine's most haunted places. East Coast Ghost Trackers have been at Fort Knox in Maine to do some ghost hunting. If you are looking for a different way to get spooked for Halloween, try Fright Night at the Fort.

It's October. If you believe in ghosts and the afterlife or not, it's always fun to get a little scared. And in Maine, there is no shortage of haunted places and spooky stories. Maybe you've seen a ghost, or heard strange sounds while your home alone...

If you're looking for a creepy romantic (okay, more creepy than romantic) place to stay on an autumn getaway, there's probably no better place in Maine than at the Inn At The Agora in Lewiston.

It's the end of September, Halloween is right around the corner. It's time to start seeing more and more scary shows on TV. FX has finally started American Horror Story season 6 which is based on the show "A Haunting." Shows like "The Most Haunted Places On Earth" will soon be on and I couldn't be happier...

A haunted gravestone, a gruesome unsolved murder, and a cemetery dating back to a lost native tribe of Red Paint People are just some of the things that haunt this town.

I'm not sure what's more shocking. This LaVerdiere's Halloween commercial from 1992, or the fact that LaVerdiere's is STILL OPEN! Sure, there may be only one left, and it's in China, Maine but I had no idea that the store still existed. I thought it went to the old retail graveyard like Rich's and Zayer's...

With summer fading away, family fall fun in Maine is right around the corner. Corn mazes have really become popular and there are many of them in Maine that your family can enjoy.

I went to Shaw's in Augusta to get some lunch today (JULY 19) and a display in the middle of the floor at the front of the store caught my eye. From a distance, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but as I got closer, it was confirmed. It was a huge display of HALLOWEEN CANDY IN JULY!

When it comes to Halloween, some places are more treat than trick.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a...pumpkin?

And your dad of the year is here.

Ah, Halloween: the one time of year when it’s completely appropriate to scare the fecal matter out of loved ones and friends. If your goal is to make sure children can’t sleep at night, a disturbing urban legend is just the ammunition you need.

Pumpkins -- they're great for pie, jack-o'-lanterns and, apparently, weapons of automotive destruction.
