It’s October 31st. The air is crisp, leaves crunch underfoot, and jack-o’-lanterns flicker from porches while kids in costumes race door to door. Halloween feels like pure fun—but behind the candy and costumes lies a story that stretches back over 2,000 years.

In this episode, we’ll travel from the windswept fields of ancient Celtic lands, where Samhain marked the thin veil between the living and the dead, to medieval Europe’s soul cakes and guising traditions, and finally to America’s pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and pop culture frights. Along the way, we’ll uncover how bonfires, masks, fortune-telling, and even apples helped shape the holiday we know today.

Halloween isn’t just about scares—it’s about community, creativity, and our timeless fascination with the unknown. So grab a flashlight—or maybe a pumpkin spice latte—and join us as we uncover the real history behind Halloween.

Before Halloween became a whirlwind of candy and costumes, October 30th carried a very different energy—one of mischief, unpredictability, and sometimes outright chaos. Known as Mischief Night, it was a time for kids and teens to bend the rules, egg houses, tip outhouses, and drape trees in toilet paper. From Detroit’s notorious Devil’s Night to Northern New Jersey’s playful Goosey Night and Pennsylvania’s quiet pranks, each region added its own flavor to the tradition.

Mischief Night wasn’t just playful—it reflected the societal shifts of industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of youthful independence. While some pranks stayed harmless, others escalated into property damage and unrest, prompting community responses like Detroit’s Angel’s Night and nationwide campaigns to redirect energy toward safer, child-friendly Halloween festivities.

Over time, Halloween was transformed from chaos to candy: trick-or-treating, community parties, and commercialized celebrations replaced roaming pranks. Yet Mischief Night hasn’t disappeared—it’s evolved. From subtle neighborhood antics to viral social media stunts, the impulse for playful rebellion remains, now streaming straight to phones and screens.

Join us as we explore the wild history of October 30th, the pranks that shocked communities, and the traditions that linger quietly today. Mischief Night proves that the line between harmless fun and something darker is always thinner than you think—and maybe a little more mischievous than you remember.

Halloween is the season where imagination and anxiety collide—and nothing captures that better than urban legends. From poisoned candy and razor-filled apples to haunted houses no one escapes, these modern folklore tales reflect our deepest fears and cultural panics. In this episode, we’ll unravel the strange history of Halloween scares: the “Candyman” case that made parents inspect every treat, the rise of razor blade myths, and even the Satanic Panic that turned black cats into supposed ritual targets. We’ll also dive into classics like Bloody Mary, The Hook, and the Babysitter and the Man Upstairs—stories that endure because they’re just believable enough to send a chill down your spine. Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy—it’s about the stories we tell, the fears we share, and the legends that refuse to die.

Throughout history, societies have invented cruel and creative ways to punish, control, and humiliate. From the infamous ducking stool—used to silence “scolds” and shame the accused in public squares—to the horrifying Brazen Bull, where victims roasted alive inside a bronze beast, these devices reveal both the brutality and psychology of past justice systems.

In this episode of Info On The Go, we explore some of the most notorious torture and execution devices:

• Public Humiliation Tools – Ducking stools, scold’s bridles, and shrew’s fiddles designed to shame more than injure.
• Medieval Machines of Pain – The rack, the head crusher, the thumbscrew, and the scavenger’s daughter.
• Execution Horrors – The breaking wheel, crucifixion, garrote, and even the debated Iron Maiden.
• At Sea & Abroad – Punishments like keelhauling that brought terror to sailors.
• Psychological Torture – From Chinese water torture to mock executions and solitary confinement.

We’ll not only describe how these devices worked, but also examine why they were used—whether to extract confessions, instill fear, or maintain authority through spectacle. Some were real, others exaggerated or misunderstood, but all left lasting marks on history and culture.

When autumn arrives, pumpkins may get the spotlight, but apples are the true rulers of the season. From orchards heavy with fruit to steaming mugs of cider, from flaky pies to the playful tradition of bobbing, apples carry centuries of history, symbolism, and celebration. In this episode, we’ll explore how this humble fruit traveled across the world, became a staple of harvest life, and transformed into a cultural icon of fall. Apples aren’t just food—they’re the flavor, the story, and the heart of autumn.

If your idea of Halloween thrill goes beyond plastic skeletons and polite jump scares, you’re in the right place. Across the U.S., a new breed of haunted attractions has risen—ones that trade in traditional ghosts and goblins for full-throttle immersion, psychological torment, and physical intensity.

These aren’t places where you simply walk through a spooky hallway—they’re experiences where you crawl through crematory ovens, scream into pitch darkness, and sign waivers that read like horror movie scripts.

From the infamous McKamey Manor’s ten-hour fear endurance test to Blackout’s solo plunge into your deepest traumas, these haunts don’t just scare you—they break you down, test your limits, and dare you to keep going when every instinct says run.

In this episode, we’re counting down America’s Top 10 Extreme Haunted Houses—sprawling farms turned nightmares, cinematic labyrinths, real-life murder lore, and psychological gauntlets designed to leave you shaken long after you leave.

Whether you’re a horror junkie searching for the ultimate adrenaline rush, or simply curious about the underground world of extreme Halloween entertainment, this journey will take you inside the attractions where the goal isn’t to frighten you—
it’s to see if you survive.

Ready to descend into the madness? Then step inside… if you dare.

Some fear comes with fangs. Some with shadows. But the most unsettling kind wears a stitched smile.

Forget the cracked porcelain face you’ve seen in the movies—the real Annabelle is no gothic-looking doll at all, but a Raggedy Ann gifted to a nursing student in the 1970s. What began as a sweet gesture soon unraveled into a chilling legend: the doll moved on its own, left eerie notes, and left claw-like scratches on an unsuspecting friend.

From the desperate séances of frightened roommates to the warnings of Ed and Lorraine Warren, Annabelle’s story straddles the line between compassion and possession, folklore and fear. Locked away behind glass in the Warrens’ Occult Museum, she’s become more than just a doll—she’s an icon of horror, immortalized by Hollywood and whispered about by believers and skeptics alike.

Is Annabelle truly cursed, or is she a vessel for our deepest fears stitched into fabric and thread? On this episode of Info On The Go, we pull Annabelle’s story apart—thread by terrifying thread.
