If you prefer your Halloween to be more on the spooky side and you're looking for some fun activities to do on the East Coast, check out some of these haunted spots to scare your socks off.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has.
