Super Long Hiatus

I apologize for everyone out there (that still read this) for my incredibly long suspension of posts- I recently started a new job, and have been busy personally as well.

The last few weeks I've become keenly interested (again) in the paranormal and strange. I was researching the hell out of ghost/haunting legends and locale, then somehow branched off into historical research.

I found a lot of interesting information (to me, at least), like how around the corner from my house there was once an infamous sanitarium, Blythewood, which housed all sorts of people with varying levels of mental disease. In my researching of articles I found a series of strange suicides/disappearances of patients from Blythewood, including one article regarding a patient who drowned herself in a pond right by my house that I regularly visit.

My mind was blown- ever since finding this out I've been feverishly researching my town's history as well as our neighboring towns. It's amazing to me learning of things that have happened right here almost "under my nose" in a way, if it weren't just for a small thing- time periods.

It's quite suitable I delve into all this creepy stuff, October's here and fall is quite simply the perfect time.

I've also gotten into mapping out burying grounds and cemeteries, both large and small, new and old, in Fairfield county.

Once I figure out how to post my Google maps on here I will, and share with anyone who's interested all the different creepy spots I've found, whether it be a supposed haunting or just creepy because of something that had historically happened in that spot (usually going hand-in-hand anyways).

Thank you all for loyally visiting, I hope everyone is well!
