The first mention of ‘saving daylight’ came from Benjamin Franklin in 1784. However, the Germans made it a worldwide sensation in 1916 during WWI to save fuel for the war effort. Other countries temporarily followed suit, using ‘normal’ time after the war, then reverting to DST again during WWII. The United States continued the practice but, contrary to popular belief, farmers were the biggest detractors saying it created a bigger divide between rural and urban lifestyles. Some states went against the ‘rule’ and passed legislation banning it, which is why Hawaii, most of Arizona, and some counties in Indiana do not use it. DST starts the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.

The haunted house brings images of cobwebs, dusty fixtures, cloth-covered furniture, and dreary vibes that reverberate up the split staircase with a chandelier dangling above, barely hanging on by its rusty chains. There are bumps in the night, floating objects, odd footsteps when no one else is home, or disembodied voices telling you to “get out” in that growling otherworldly voice.

For three years in the 1760s, the French town of Gévaudan was attacked by a gigantic beast, said to be “like a wolf, but not like a wolf.” The first recorded fatality happened in June 1764 when the beast killed a 14-year-old shepherdess. The attacks became a media sensation all over the world, including in the U.S. After a group of boys fought off an attack in January 1765, King Louis XV sent hunters. It took numerous attempts, but two beasts were finally killed - one with a silver bullet - ending the terror. The actual type of animal is still unknown, but some believe it could have been wolves, lions, hyenas, or the extinct hyaenodon. Over 100 people lost their lives to this creature(s). These events spawned the werewolf folklore.
