Happy Halloween, everyone!

The Capitol Hill Seattle Blog has rounded up its 23 most spookiest posts ever. They include some of the “best tales of mystery and paranormal activity from around Capitol Hill from the CHS archives.” Enjoy…if you dare.

Don’t forget that we turn back our clocks one hour this weekend. Like it or hate it, Daylight Savings Time doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

The man, who didn’t want to use his last name, tells Komo News “three bibles burned, group pictures packed away had burn marks but only on his face, chandeliers shook, and paintings, tables, and an armoire was knocked to the ground with no one in sight.” Creepy, indeed.

And if you’re in the mood for more potentially true ghost stories, check these out. I read them last night and had to keep a few more lights on as I went up to bed. Trust.
