Happy hump day. everybody! I hope your Wednesday morning has been calm thus far. I want to talk to you about a serious topic- Ghosts. Okay, it's not

that

serious. I have to admit, I'm a sucker when it comes to a good ghost story. But I'm an absolute wimp when it comes to actual, unexplained phenomena.

For the first time ever, those seeking a supernatural experience can take Ghost Hunting classes at Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. I visited the prison last year to take photographs of their haunted house, and let me tell you, it was an eerie place. If anywhere actually is haunted, it's that prison.

Longread First Lady Barbara Bush passed away yesterday. She was 92. During her time in the White House, Mrs. Bush wore many hats. She started out as America's grandma, sweet and in many ways, unremarkable. But longer she was in the White House, the quicker cracks began to appear in that persona. Mrs. Bush was well respected, even feared by some staffers. Although she may have been more subtle about her power, there is no doubt that she became an imposing presence in the White House.In 1992, Marjorie Williams wrote about the First Lady, saying "Suddenly the First Lady is reported to be a woman so fiercely calculating she puts Nancy Reagan to shame. But while she remains her increasingly unpopular husband's greatest asset, is Barbara Bush just demanding equal time after a long hard career as a devoted political wife?"Vanity Fair: Barbara's Backlash
