Spooky beauty: Suzy Poling does great work, and the interactive Fantastic Degradation is a beautiful (and bleak) look at abandoned hospitals.

Spooky books, in Ohio no less! Hooray! A pilgrimage is being planned.

Real life spookiness: the new playing cards issued to soldiers have archaeological sites to avoid, instead of people to capture. Er. Good luck with that.

Also, why not see how much fun gerrymandering can be, with a game that lets you redistrict towns? (Is "redistricting" a word?)
