Woooo! Marshall, I can only assume you're doing that because it's Halloween. Halloween,

where you wear costumes, go door to door, trick or treating, and try to scare yourself.

What's even more fun than scaring yourself is exploring the scary science behind Halloween.

And that's why we're here. Before we get started on that, we've got a few exciting things

to let you know about. First, if you're listening to this before Friday, November 3rd, it's

time for you to decide where we go on our first field trip here in Barcelona. We're going

to make sure you have as much fun as we do exploring our new home.

That's right, if you want to vote for where we go on our first trip, just go visit our Patreon page

at patreon.com slash tumble podcast. And while you're there, you can pledge and join these wonderful folks.

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Isaiah Castillo, Mara, Zev, and Eli and the Bilby Circus, which includes my former

students, Miles and Cecilia. Thank you so much for all of your support. It really means the world to us.

One last thing, if you love Halloween, there's plenty more Halloween themed episodes for you to devour

like a pillowcase full of candy. For example, book power for kids. Book power for kids is three siblings

who take turns reviewing books. For Halloween, they chose the delightfully titled book, The

Holloweanor by Dave Pilke, creator of Captain Underpants. Check it out along with other kids

listen Halloween episodes at app.kidslisten.org. And now onto the scary show. It's actually not that scary.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. And I'm Marshall. And this is tumble, the show where we explore stories of science discovered.

Today we're going on the ultimate Halloween science road trip. We'll join a scientist who traveled to

Graviards and haunted houses to hear ghost stories from the people who lived them. What he discovered might surprise you.

So gather around the fire everyone and we'll tell you a ghost story. A science ghost story.
