One way that I've been staying in the spooky mood is reading up on real-world haunted places. The scariest ones though, are those that are located so closely to me!

The House of Death

https://frightfind.com/house-of-death/

Dating back to the 1900s, famous American writer, Mark Twain, lived on 14 West 10th street. This building was also home to many other historically significant people in NYC. This building is deemed haunted by over 20 spirits, with reported visuals on the ghost of Mark Twain in a white suit. Throughout the many years of new residents staying in this building, there have been numerous reports of shadows, whispers, and figures that have been further observed by paranormal investigators.

The Manhattan Well

In 1799, Gulielma and Levi shared a secret wedlock with plans to elope. After sneaking off in the middle of the night, Gulielma's body was found a few weeks later, found at the bottom of a well with strangulation marks around her neck. This murder mystery trial became the first murder trial covered by the media...ever. And it still one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases. It's so weird because now this well sits in the middle of a clothing store in Soho's, 'COS'. Before being owned by this clothing store, the well was surrounded by a restaurant, whose owners made many claims about bottles being thrown across the bar and workers reporting strange happenings like whispers and figures.

The Morris-Jumel Mansion

Historically marked as manhattan's oldest house, sits the Morris-Jumel Mansion. It was built in the 1700s and served as a war room for George Washington as well as a home for Aaron Burr. This house offers so many ghost stories, which the tour guides of this location are more than happy to tell. People, including paranormal investigators, have heard voices, disembodied voices, and objects moving around. Using electronic voice phenomena (EVP), paranormal investigators even heard voices that you can listen to here.

Flushing Quaker Meeting House

The Flushing Quaker Meeting House, is one of the oldest houses of worship in NYC. This one is a little on the reserved side of haunted places as it is not a very famous one. The spirit that haunts this building is said to not be necessarily an evil spirit, yet one that still lurks around the premises as many claims of a person dressed in white has been reported seen along the graveyard that resides in the back of the building.

If you're braver than myself, checking out one of these haunted places might be something to add onto your bucket list!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
