Thank you cheese slices for being the best Halloween treat ever!! (A message from the Dairy Farmers of Canada.)
Some tips on Candy Hangovers... 🍬 If you end up with a candy hangover the day after Halloween, consider eating pineapple... The article we link to says "The tropical fruit contains enzymes that aid digestion and break down proteins that usually cause bloat and also contains 180 milligrams of bloat-busting potassium per cup. Researchers have also found that pineapple can reduce colonic inflammation that may be leading to that distended stomach." Read more here.
Other things to try if you have a candy hangover include: 1) have more candy and 2) try someone else's candy to see if it has healing properties. *citation needed*
👻 Scary Stats & Halloween World Records
Haunted Houses!?
- 83% of people surveyed said they had some kind of paranormal activity in their home.
- Most common types of paranormal activity are hearing sounds, lights turning on and off, and hearing voices.
- 1 in 10 people say they sold their home after a paranormal experience.
- Good News, Split Level Home owners, your home is far less likely to be haunted! (Source 1, Source 2)
A quick and careful look at Ouija Boards ...
- Scotty note: idk but I'd Steer clear of those things if I were you. It never ends well in the movies.
- Legend: Ouija boards got their name when one of the investors of the product asked it "What's your name" and it spelled out Ouija.
- Legend: when they went to get the thing registered at the patent office they had to show the patent office guy how it worked and used it to spell out the patent office guy's name... "A patent file confirms she did a demonstration and the patent was issued on February 10th 1891"
- The things sold like crazy and they had to open more factories to produce them... in 1927 one of the guys running the company fell to his death from the roof of a new factory - one he claimed a Ouija board told him to build.
- Just to reiterate, Steer clear of those things!
Halloween World Records:
- Most people dressed in certain costume... largest group of zombies was 15,458 zombies... scarecrows was 2,495... then there were the 2,018 skeletons... and the 1,607 witches... 1,580 superheroes... 1,369 vampires... 1,275 angels... 878 fairies... 560 ghosts... and 252 dinosaurs.
*editor's note: what if a zombie apocalypse broke out while you were trying to set the zombie record? Seems like a "trust no one" scenario. - Fastest pumpkin carving record belongs to Stephen Clarke who carved one regulation size pumpkin in 9.4 seconds... and also carved a ton of pumpkins in 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 49 seconds!
- Most pumpkins smashed in a minute is 52!
- The oldest ghost in the world is a little bit controversial because ... some people don't believe in ghosts ... but the oldest ghost, unofficially, is 220 million years old. There's a ranch in New Mexico where people reported seeing this sort of snake-like ghost... people reporting sightings... then in 1947 a paleontologist discovered fossils of an animal that looks like the ghost. The animal is phytosaur.
- Most TP Mummies within a 3 minute time limit... In 2015, in London, 51 people got wrapped as toilet paper mummies in three minutes.
- Largest collection of haunted dolls in the world is at the Island of the Dolls, Mexico. Imagine thousands of broken, scary-looking dolls and doll pieces hanging from trees. The article I read says it started in the 1950s and the dolls were placed around the island to appease a ghost... also the legend is that these dolls come to life at night... I will not be investigating that one so no need to hit up our patreon for that.
- Largest Ouija board in the world was 3,158 square feet... record was set in 2019... unveiled in Salem, Mass. they called it "Ouijazilla"... the planchette alone weighed 400 pounds! Read more.
