A cozy doorway into eerie stories, strange history, and the art of October.
October always feels like a doorway. On one side there is comfort. On the other there is curiosity. This year I built a path between them with a new series on Spooky Season called The 13 Posts of Halloween. It blends warm fall ritual with a little mystery, a little science, and a lot of story. You can read each piece on its own, or wander through all thirteen like a candlelit walk.
What you will find in the series
This is not a list of crafts or quick tips. It is a collection of evergreen reads that pairs haunted history with psychology and creative storytelling. Each post is designed to be saved, shared, and revisited every October.
A peek at the thirteen
The Town That Vanished — real places that disappeared and the quiet mysteries they left behind.
The Science of Fear — what happens in the brain during safe scares and why we seek them.
When Halloween Was Illegal — cities that once banned Halloween and what those rules reveal.
Why Old Houses Creak (and Why We Still Find It Scary) — the physics of spooky sounds and the psychology of haunted spaces.
Letters from the Midnight Market (Vol. I) — a recovered letter from a place that opens between hours.
Through the Lens — how visual creators capture fear and guide your attention.
Victorian Mourning Customs — hair jewelry, funeral portraits, and the etiquette of grief.
Why Mirrors, Dolls, and Empty Hallways Scare Us — primal imagery that unsettles the mind.
The Evolution of the Final Girl — survival, strength, and the stories we tell about fear.
The Lost Diaries of the Asylum on the Hill — found pages and the echo of a town’s secret.
Haunted Photography — when memory turns into ghost across film and pixels.
The Real Sleepy Hollows — American towns that keep the October feeling alive.
The Backrooms and Beyond — how analog horror changed the way we feel fear online.
Why share it on Threads of a Life
Because this space is about the threads that make a life. Family, ritual, creativity, and the stories we inherit. The 13 Posts of Halloween follows those threads into the places where memory becomes myth. It is cozy enough to read with tea. It is strange enough to keep you thinking after the cup is empty.
