0:03 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
1:36 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?
2:45 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.
3:40 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
