Original version below! It was posted February 25, 2022. I upgraded to digital, obviously, and a more “Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion” look for the so-called abandoned house. The original joke was to make fun of the locally infamous site which was a derelict trailer with the words “Red Bank Welcome Center” spray painted in red on the side. And then someone told me their father was the person that found the remains of the last resident of that property, and it ruined the joke for me. Which is fitting, because the site has since been cleaned up in the Name of Progress, so we’ll just leave that in the past!

Spooky Dookie was a joke from my daughter and one of her friends back when they were in middle school and sounds silly enough (to me) to keep in joke rotation.

So the next paranormal investigation begins! Don’t trespass, kids!
