HAUNTED CHICAGO; History and Hauntings of the Windy City, by Troy Taylor
Two great reads for the Halloween season are from local historian and parapsychology enthusiast Ursula Bielski and occultist and supernatural historian Troy Taylor. They both have great stories about Chicago and it's ghostly past. From the most popular, Resurrection Mary and Bachelor's Grove, to the little know tales of encounters with the devil in Bridgeport.
These are also great history books and if you grew up in and around Chicago you are familiar with these sories. If not, then it's great way to learn about the city and it's haunted history. You may even want to take a ride to see some of the local "haunts" or take in one of the tours that are usually offered in the city this time of year.
Pumpkin Juice from seasonalrecipes.com
Ingredients
2 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled and chopped into chunks
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
honey, to taste
cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and/or allspice (all ground, to taste)
Prep
Juice the pumpkin by squeezing through a cheesecloth or using a juicer if you have one. Pour the pumpkin juice, apple and pineapple juices into a blender. Add the honey (start with 1 teaspoon, taste, you can add more later) to the juices and blend thoroughly. Add your spices to taste. This might take some experimentation to get the flavors just right. Chill your pumkin juice or serve over ice and enjoy!
