Besides ghosts, goblins and evil witches, Halloween is the time for kids to rot their teeth out and satisfy their ultimate sugar rush. When I was a child, my parents would always triple-check the candy that I had collected in my trick-or-treat bag to make sure that some creepy person didn’t poison me.
When I was little, I believed that ghosts were friendly creatures with good senses of humor and a keen sense of fun. Oh, how deceiving those “Casper the Friendly Ghost” morning reruns were.
Today, I honestly don’t know what to believe.
I did some ghost-hunting recently to dig into Orange County’s urban legends and to check out some of the area’s most haunted places. There are the usual campus legends and lore, and even some creepier places beyond our campus that are worth a visit.
