Ghosts in the Garden
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Alright everyone, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Well, it’s the moment I’ve been waiting for anyways. After a month of our special Spooky Series, it’s time for the grand finale. And after a month of crime reporting and storytelling, of legend seeking and secret exposing, and of tradition telling and origin exploring, it’s time to review an actual, haunted, thrilling, and completely creepy event that happened here in our very own, Denver Colorado. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you an honest, raw, and intense review of the Denver Botanical Gardens Halloween Event, Ghosts in the Garden.

The Story of the Jack Behind Jack-o'-Lanterns
By Austin Price, Editor-In-Chief
I’m sure most of you have carved a Jack-o'-lantern into a pumpkin. I know I did. I have vivid memories of visiting the pumpkin patch with my mom and pretending to help my dad carve the pumpkin in our kitchen, with pumpkin guts spilling out of mixing bowls. I remember my mom helping me light the candles inside of our pumpkins and leaving them out on the porch on Halloween night. I remember carrying the decaying pumpkin and now mutilated jack-o'-lantern into the backyard to put under a tree, leaving a yummy snack for the squirrels. These are all happy memories but the roots behind this beloved childhood ritual are much darker than they seem. With demonic roots and a search for salvation, today I will be telling the story of the original Jack behind the Jack-o'-lantern.
