Canning Lid Pumpkin This is one of my favorite pumpkin projects of all time. It's cute, simple and one of the first decorations people notice when they walk into my house.

  There are several prisons located throughout the United States that are said to be the most haunted prisons in America today.  Individuals who are considered to be hobbyists and those that are considered to be professionals in the area of ghost hunting often find prisons to be enticing when it comes to the opportunity to validate life after death.  It is not uncommon for these investigators to capture unexplained voice phenomenon on digital audio recorders, indications of strong magnetic fields with the KII Meter, and even frightening images in pictures and video recordings.  Here, I will profile 2 of the most haunted prisons in America today.

   This diy was found at www.stolloween.com  I thought this was a pretty cool diy  and also pretty easy to make.  No haunt is complete without some barbed wire. This is a very easy way to make some convincing rusted looking barbed wire to enhance your props or costume and the best part is that it’s safe and inexpensive. This prop does not involve the use of a papier mache (gasp!) but it does make a nice enhancement to your papier mache props. The Faux Barbed Wire is made from twine, craft foam and black latex paint.

The first step is to grab a piece of twine that is twice as long as you would like final piece of wire. If you want 10 feet of barbed wire then start with 20 feet of twine. Any type of thick twine will work bu...
