A Brief History
Hello, everyone! I am Dr. Zar of History and Headlines and today, October 31, 2023, I wish all of you a Happy Halloween!
Digging Deeper
As a suggestion for something to watch on this Halloween, I recommend Our Paranormal Podcast #146, co-hosted by a former student of mine, Bryan Mersol. You can learn about paranormal investigating in the United States as some members of Your Paranormal describe their journeys to allegedly haunted locations all the way from Ohio to Nevada and back again. And yes, they also give me a shout out in the video, so it seems right to do the same for them.
Regardless of whatever you watch or do today, I hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!
Question for students (and subscribers) to ponder: Do you have any fun plans for Halloween this year?
