It suddenly seemed like winter set in all across the region when most of us stepped foot outside this morning. Fortunately — my family got a little more fall fun in recently, social distancing style.

Ghosts are supposed to scare you away. But at one of the region’s most haunted sites, ghosts have visitors flocking there in droves, instead. Bonanzaville’s “Ghost Tours” sold out Wednesday morning.
