#Spooky season &what it does for us:

👻Every door creaks, every picture has eyes that follow you, every call is coming from inside the house.

👀Night falls, mist swirls, dry leaves – or footsteps? – whisper along every path.

🦇Bats fly out of the old house at the edge of town, and surely phantom hitchhikers wait…

Special guest appearance: Split Rock in #Syracuse and #Chernobyl

👻 🎃 It's the season for stories about places we fear, sites of hauntings, tragedies, mysteries, or monsters.

We might be drawn to these places - or we might stay away at all costs.

"Staying away" can create an oasis for resurgent nature. Like Chernobyl, but also unsung places closer to home.

A new way to think about your town's haunted house and places that frightened you as as child.
