Local Utah Haunts: Ghosts of Camp Floyd and Troll 2

This is a Utah State Park event that our local Boy Scout Troop plans to attend:
https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/camp-floyd/events/

GHOSTS OF CAMP FLOYD
Is Camp Floyd haunted?  The public is invited to participate in a paranormal investigation of Camp Floyd.  Because of the popularity of this program, four sessions will be conducted this year with each date limited to 40 participants.  Admission fees are $7 per person and reservations are required.
Participants are encouraged to view the museums at Camp Floyd during the day light beginning at 6 pm, with the event starting at 7:00 PM and ending at 9:00 PM.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own flash lights, recorders, cameras, digital and infrared cameras where park staff will assist participants in the use of their equipment in finding paranormal orbs, mists and sounds.
A brief presentation will be conducted to familiarize participants with paranormal investigating techniques and findings as the investigation starts.  All participants will be invited to present their findings at the conclusion of the investigation, and will have the opportunity of viewing photographs along with other paranormal evidence gathered at this historic site. 
Camp Floyd was a short-lived U.S. Army post in the Cedar Valley, Utah, United States. The Stagecoach Inn was a nearby hotel which also served as a stagecoach stop and, during 1860-1861, a Pony Express stop.
You can bet I will return and report our findings!  Do you believe in ghosts?  Have you ever investigated paranormal activity?

I also discovered that Trolls 2 was filmed right in in the beehive state, Morgan, UT!  I plan to watch the movie, and then the documentary about the movie's production, "The Best Worst Movie Ever".


Have you seen Troll 2?  What are your thoughts?

Squirmy Wormy Donuts

These are amazingly good, I was surprised!  They are the October donut of the month this year at my local Smith's Food & Drug (Kroger) grocery stores.  If there is a Smith's in your area check and see if your bakery has these!

They're just chocolate donuts, topped with Oreo crumbles, and apple flavored gummy worms.  10/10 must try this month!






Do you have a Smith's nearby?  Have you tried these?  Are there any junk foods you gotta have this time of year?

Bobble Beasts

I acquired these awesome bobble heads from the designer himself!  Check out his Instagram account @andraculoid.  He currently designs and re-produces some wicked awesome masks, busts, and props from horror films.





I love the character profiles on these guys!

Arctic Circle's Square Pumpkin 2019



They're back again this year!  Not sure how many years they have done the Square Pumpkin, but we're talking 35+ years now!  I really wish they would run a new local commercial.  TV is all but dead these days.  Arctic Circle has ditched the "Square Pumpkin" title it seems, and now just offers a spooky Halloween themed kids meal box.  It's not as cool as in years past, but I'll take it.  The food is the same, the only difference is the box, and the annual Halloween "flashlights".  Gotta keep them safe for Tricks and Treats! 

This boy is also obsessed with cheese burgers right now! 




Milen got the Franky, and Ava got the Eyeball.  The flashlights don't change much from year to year, but they are a fun little tradition.  One year they had robot flashlights, which was stranger than aliens for Halloween.  Like I said, I'll take it.  (They're better than the flashlights featured in the above commercial .  I wish I knew when that commercial aired.  I wanna say late 90's, early 2000's?)  McDonald's is lame now and doesn't offer Halloween Happy Meals, and BK is totally out to lunch when it comes to their kid's meals.  The Burger King Kid's Club is dead.

Milen got creative with the lights and used them to light up the ghost shelf

Anyways, I got my usual Pumpkin Pie shake.  This time I added chocolate, which made it kind of taste like pumpkin chocolate chip cookie ice cream.  And for some reason they topped it off with a Nilla Waffer.


Any other Utahns out there?  What do you think of the Square Pumpkin meals?  If you're not from Utah, do you have any local eateries that offer Halloween themed kids meals?  If you do know of any other fast food joints with halloween offerings this year then please let me know!  and show me pictures!

Ream's: Halloween Time Machine 2019

If you live in Utah and love Halloween, then you need to check out Ream's!  For the past few years I have found some awesome stuff.  Incredible selection for a grocery store, and super cheap!  If you are not familiar with Ream's, it is a local grocery store chain here in the beehive state.  There is a scotish mascot, and the stores are pretty run down.  I still have fond memories roller balding to reams to see what tapes and video games they had for rent.

Between two Ream's location, checkout what I found this year.  It's like stepping into a time machine!

Look at this!  You ever see a full page of Halloween in the newspaper mailer, for a grocery store!? Beautiful.


 I had to have one of each of the purple, green, white, and & orange ghosts.  Just 99 cents each!


Sadly, I only found the orange and purple (with eyes) windups.


Where is your secret Halloween honey hole?
