But did you know Maine also has a mysterious monster swimming off of our shores too? In fact reports of suspicious sea serpent sightings have spanned hundreds of […]
Asa here. Today I would like to introduce you to the most misunderstood character of Halloween, the Spider. Seen lurking in the shadows, scurrying across our floors, or clinging to the ceiling, and featured in countless movies and television shows, the Spider is an enduring presence in our lives.
