Anyone who has sneaked into a cemetery at night knows that is a thing of terror and equally as much a thing of exquisite beauty.

In 2009, I had a post-apocalyptic graveyard theme for a Halloween party. It was very cheap to put together and very effective. You don't have to spend a lot for a Halloween party, as the idea is to make it as dark and rugged as possible which means repurposing junk. 

Where the Giants Lived: Evidence of Their Presence

We talk of ancient giants a lot, but some want more proof that such a race of humans existed in our past.

Healing With Colors

One thing I know about new-age healing is that belief has an amazing power. People who believe in prayer, believe in crystals, belief in hands-on healers, release their own chemicals in their bodies to do that which they seek. Some people can use meditation, others aggressive exercise, and for some, sex. However you find your healing, if there is belief-there is response.

During a cholera outbreak in 1833 in Mexico, many bodies were interred underground in an air-tight catacomb.

America was founded in the 1950s as the subdivision maker of the world. Whole neighborhoods with quaint-named streets and tract housing went up all over the country during the boom.
