STORIES: The Thinning Veil: Curses, Claws, and the Rites of Ruin Nearly seventy-five percent of Americans remain entirely oblivious to the distinct, shadowed identity of the night before Halloween. While October 31st commands global obsession, its preceding eve fosters a darker, more volatile energy. Known across various regions as Devil’s Night, Cabbage Night, Devil’s Eve, Gate Night, or Goosey Night, this twilight is collectively feared as Mischief Night. Horrors of a Victorian Dead House: A Morgue Keeper's Nightmares In 1887, a morgue superintendent in St. Louis shared his stories anonymously. Historians believe the man was Herman Praedicow (1831-1891). His tales feature flickering gas jets, restless dead, and a ghost said to linger among the slabs. They also tell real crimes: jealous lovers, a trunk that gave off a terrible smell, and a vain impostor who tried to escape justice by sailing to the other side of the world. Step inside the dead house, if you dare. Collinwood Never Sleeps: The Pageants, Hauntings, and Buried Secrets of Dark Shadows Some stories drift out of the past like fog over a moonlit graveyard, half-forgotten but impossible to shake. Such is the tale of Miss Ghost America, a peculiar pageant born in the twilight of television’s most brooding gothic soap opera. In 1970 and 1971, as fans clung to every whispered secret of Collinwood, the creators of Dark Shadows summoned a nationwide search for the girl with the perfect “vampire look.” What followed was a strange parade of fangs, capes, and crowns, with a legendary activist, a disastrous date, and a resurrection or two along the way.
