SHIRLEY: HI.

I'M SHIRLEY MIN.

REGINA: I'M REGINA MITCHELL.

NEXT ON "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."

A TUITION FREE EDUCATION.

A LOCAL ARTIST TRANSFORMS PAIN INTO POWER WITH THE CLICK OF A LENS.

PLUS, WE GO INSIDE A MORTUARY MUSEUM WHERE VINTAGE FUNERAL FINDS GET NEW LIVES.

AND PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS GO IN SEARCH OF THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.

♪ SHIRLEY: HI, EVERYONE.

REGINA: THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE SHOW.

SHIRLEY: WE BOTH ARE.

THERE WILL BE SOME SWEET AND SALTY TREATS LITTLE LATER ON.

REGINA: YOU AND I SHARE A FONDNESS FOR A CANDY A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE.

SHIRLEY: CANDY CORN.

REGINA: DELICIOUS.

SHIRLEY: WE ARE GOING TO ENJOY SOME OF THAT.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SINFUL LIST, COMING -- ALCOHOL INFUSED DESSERTS FROM SINFUL BLISS.

GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND PHILADELPHIA IS A GOOD PLACE TO DONATE UNWANTED ITEMS OR SHOP FOR VINTAGE FINDS, BUT DID YOU KNOW THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO HELPING ADULTS GET UP -- A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA?

>> GOODWILL WAS FOUNDED BY A DOCTOR WHO RAN A METHODIST CHURCH.

HE HAD AN IDEA TO GO TO THE WEALTHY COMMUNITIES ACROSS BOSTON AND ASK FOR THEIR OLD CLOTHING OR FURNITURE OR HOUSEWARES.

HE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE CHURCH AND EMPLOYED THE CHURCH MEMBERS TO REPAIR IT AND SELL IT, BECAUSE WHAT THEY NEEDED WAS A JOB.

GOODWILL, FROM THE BEGINNING, HAS BEEN ABOUT THE SAME THING, HELPING PEOPLE GET JOBS, HELPING THEM REALIZE THEIR ECONOMIC POTENTIAL.

WE SAY IT'S A HAND UP, NOT A HA NDOUT.

THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO LIVE UP TO.

WHEN YOU MAKE A DONATION TO GOODWILL AND YOU SHOP AT OUR STORES, YOU ARE MAKING PROGRAMS POSSIBLE LIKE THE HELMS ACADEMY, WHICH IS AN OUTSTANDING ADULT ALTERNATE HIGH SCHOOL, FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA TO GET A SECOND CHANCE AT THE FIRST RUNG ON THE ECONOMIC LADDER.

THE KEY COMPONENT OF THE ACADEMY IS OUR FIRST CLASS PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE TO GO TO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, TO TAKE CLASSES, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THAT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, THEY ARE INHIBITED.

THEY ARE NOT ANXIOUS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

THEY DON'T FEEL READY TO SIGN UP FOR COLLEGE.

COMING TO GOODWILL IS A MUCH LESS INTENSE EXPERIENCE, SO WE BECOME THE FRONT DOOR, BUT WEEK CO- -- WE CO-ENROLL YOU IN COLLEGE.

YOUR FAMILY MAY NOT KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE, BUT NOW YOU CAN SAY, I'M GOING TO COLLEGE.

WE HELP YOU TO MATRICULATE INTO ENGLISH 101 AND MATH 101.

WHAT HAPPENS IS, WHEN YOU HAVE ACQUIRED 30 CREDIT HOURS IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA FROM EITHER THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY OR THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.

IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO COME IN HERE, WHO DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE, WHO WALK OUT OF HERE WITH AN OFFICIAL HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, PLUS 30 HOURS OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE AT NO CHARGE TO THEMSELVES.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO USE PELL GRANTS OR ANY OTHER GRANT PROGRAM, YET THEY ARE HALFWAY TO THEIR ASSOCIATE DEGREE.

I THINK THAT'S PHENOMENAL.

>> I PRIDE MYSELF ON THIS.

WORKING INDIVIDUALLY, ONE ON ONE WITH EACH AND EVERY STUDENT, TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING, TO LEARN SOMETHING, TO HELP BOOST THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, SO THEY CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES.

>> I'M HERE TO GET MY DIPLOMA, FOR MY MOTHER.

SHE'S NOT HERE ANYMORE.

WE BURIED HER IN 2020, BUT I PROMISED HER I WOULD GET MY DIPLOMA.

I'M GOING TO GET MY DIPLOMA.

>> THE HELMS ACADEMY IS WHERE I GOT MY DIPLOMA IN 2019.

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I THOUGHT A LOT OF TEACHERS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ME.

THEN I CAME HERE AND IT WAS DIFFERENT.

EVERYBODY WAS OPEN.

I FELT LIKE A SAFE SPACE HERE.

I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.

SHIRLEY: YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HELMS ACADEMY ON OUR WEBPAGE.

IN JANUARY, 2020, A PHOTOGRAPHER FELT ONION DATED WITH NEGATIVE NEWS -- FELT INUNDATED WITH NEGATIVE NEWS.

EVERYWHERE SHE TURNED, THERE WERE IMAGES OF TRAUMA AND PAIN, PARTICULARLY FOR MINORITIES.

SHE DECIDED, THROUGH HER CAMERA LENS, SHE WOULD SHOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> ♪ IF I SHOULD TAKE THE NOTION TO JUMP INTO THE OCEAN ♪ ♪ >> IT STARTED, REALLY, AS A PERSONAL ART PROJECT, WHERE I NEEDED, FOR MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH, TO JUST REMEMBER THE STORY OF MY OWN LIFE.

>> FROM A FATHER HOLDING HIS CHILD'S HAND TO A GROUP OF GIRLFRIENDS POSING FOR A QUICK PICTURE, THIS ARTIST FINDS JOY IN EVERYDAY THINGS.

LAST YEAR, IN THE MIDST OF BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS, SHE STARTED POSTING THEM ONLINE, BECAUSE, WELL, SHE HAD TO.

>> I WANTED TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THOSE NEGATIVE NARRATIVES WITH PARALLEL STORIES, BECAUSE THAT WORK TO FIGHT INJUSTICE IS STILL VERY NECESSARY AND VERY IMPORTANT.

BUT I GOT THE SENSE THAT -- I WAS FEELING POWERLESS AGAINST ALL OF THE INJUSTICE.

AND I THOUGHT, WELL, WHAT CAN I DO?

I HAVE A CAMERA.

I CAN SHARE SOME OF THE INTIMACY THAT I HAVE IN MY COMMUNITY, AND MAYBE HOPE THAT, THROUGH SOME KIND OF SUBLIMINAL REACTION, BY FLOODING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN WITH THESE SIMPLE JOYOUS IMAGES, THAT I COULD MAYBE START TO REBIRTH -- REVERSE ENGINEER THIS PERCEPTION OF BLACK COMMUNITY, SIGNIFIED ONLY BY ITS TRAUMA.

SO, ON THE MUSEUM OF BLACK JOY, YOU WILL SEE GIRLS PLAYING DOUBLE DUTCH.

YOU WILL SEE FOLKS AT THE CHRISTIAN STRONGHOLD BAPTIST CHURCH'S CARNIVAL.

YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE ROLLERSKATING AND HOLDING HANDS.

YOU WILL SEE RAMONA AFRICA WITH HER FIST RAISED, SIGNIFYING HER ENDURANCE AND HER LIGHT IN THIS CITY THAT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY HARD ON HER AND HER FAMILY.

REGINA: SHE FOUND OUT SHE WASN'T ALONE.

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG UNTIL PEOPLE STARTED REACHING OUT TO HER AFTER SEEING HER IMAGES, SHARING THEIR STORIES AND OFFERING TO HELP.

THE WORK HAS GONE FROM BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOS TO MIXED-MEDIA, WITH THE PROMISE OF MORE TO COME THANKS TO FUNDING SHE HAS RECEIVED.

>> ♪ I FOUND GOD IN MYSELF ♪ >> FOR ME, BLACK JOY IS WHEN SOMETHING MORE THAN HAPPINESS OR EVEN PLEASURE -- IT'S A CAPACITY TO EMERGE FROM A HISTORY OF STRUGGLE AND INJUSTICE WITH YOUR SENSE OF GRACE AND KINDNESS INTACT.

I JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT, IN MANY CASES, IT'S A CHOICE OF WHAT WE FOCUS ON, AND WHAT WE FOCUS ON GROWS.

AND SO, AS WE FOCUS ON JOY, MORE OF THE LIVES WE WANT TO BE INFORMED BY, THOSE THINGS WILL GROW.

REGINA: SHE HAS BEEN ASKED TO GO INTO SCHOOLS TO TALK TO STUDENTS ABOUT HER WORK.

SHE ALSO PLANS TO HAVE A SYMPOSIUM IN DECEMBER.

SHIRLEY: CASKETS, EMBALMING MACHINES, AND A HEARSE.

NOPE, IT'S NOT THE SET OF A NEW HORROR MOVIE.

IT'S THE COLLECTION OF ONE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, COUPLE THAT STARTED OUT AS A HOBBY, BUT LED TO A BUSINESS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

♪ >> I'M CHRIS THOMPSON.

>> I'M JESSICA THOMPSON.

>> WELCOME.

THIS IS A WEIRD MUSEUM.

WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, WE WERE KIND OF BORED.

LET'S START POSTING SOME THINGS.

TO OUR SURPRISE, IT TOOK OFF.

WE WERE SELLING FIVE TO SEVEN ITEMS A DAY.

IT'S BEEN AN AWESOME RIDE SO FAR.

>> VERY SUCCESSFUL.

>> OUR CUSTOMER BASE RISE -- RANGES FROM SOMEONE WHO WANTS A SURPRISE TO FUNERAL DIRECTORS WHO ARE JUST ITEMS FROM US.

THEY ARE DOING REMODELS.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING UNIQUE.

♪ WHEN WE STARTED TO GET INTO THIS, WE WOULD GO KNOCKING DOOR-TO-DOOR ON FUNERAL HOMES, WHICH SOUNDS ODD, BUT FUNERAL DIRECTORS WOULD TELL US YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE A YEAR AGO.

I THREW IT ALL IN THE DUMPSTER.

THAT DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH ME.

EVERY FUNERAL HOME WE GO INTO, WE ARE SAVING THESE ITEMS, YOU FIND A DIFFERENT STORY.

HISTORY IS ABOUT STORIES, ABOUT PEOPLE.

IT'S REALLY GOOD TO SEE THAT THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE BASEMENT OR ATTIC AND NOW THEY ARE BACK IN USE.

THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT TO US.

THEY ARE BEING APPRECIATED.

>> AT A GOOD HOME.

♪ >> I REALLY WANTED A HEARSE WHEN I WAS A KID.

I FINALLY GOT THE HEARSE OF MY DREAMS.

IT'S JUST SO MUCH FUN.

THE STAIRS AND THE LOOKS YOU GET FROM PEOPLE.

KIDS LOVE OUR HEARSE.

THEY CALL IT A SPOOKY CAR.

IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO DRIVE SOMETHING THAT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER VEHICLE OUT THERE.

MY FAVORITE THING TO COLLECT BECAUSE I'M A COSMETOLOGIST IS THE OLD MAKEUP KITS.

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.

THEY ARE COLORFUL, ARTISTIC.

I'M LIKE A HISTORY PRESERVING HOARDER.

MY FAVORITE THING AND SHOWING PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE YOU ARE WEIRD, YOU ARE CRAZY, WHY ARE YOU INTO THIS STUFF.

I LIKE BEING DIFFERENT.

IT'S FUN.

♪ >> I WOULDN'T SAY IT IS SOMETHING DARK OR CREEPY.

I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ABOUT PARTISANSHIP AND CRAFTSMANSHIP.

WE WANT FOLKS TO APPRECIATE THESE ITEMS.

SHIRLEY: LOVE THAT STORY.

CHRIS AND JESSICA WERE MARRIED ON HALLOWEEN LAST YEAR IN A FUNERAL HOME, OF COURSE.

YOU CAN FIND GRIME AND SHINE WHEN YOU VISIT THEM ON INSTAGRAM.

REGINA: THEY SEEM LIKE REALLY COOL PEOPLE TO HANG AROUND WITH, AND NOT JUST AROUND HALLOWEEN.

WHETHER YOU ARE CARVING PUMPKINS, ADDING PUMPKIN FLAVORS TO TREATS OR DRINKS, WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT, SO WE DECIDED TO TALK TO THE FOLKS WHO HELP MAKE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF US.

♪ >> HI.

I'M THE EXECUTIVE CHEF AND CULINARY DIRECTOR OF THE SPICE COMPANY.

PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH PUMPKIN PIE SPICE BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME ALMOST A SYMBOL OF THE TRANSITION FROM SUMMER INTO FALL.

THAT'S WHERE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE IS.

BACK IN THE 1930'S, PEOPLE HAPPY MAKE PUMPKIN -- HAD TO MAKE PUMPKIN PIE FROM SCRATCH.

THEY WOULD GET THE PUMPKIN, ROAST IT, STRAIN IT, MEASURE OUT ALL THE SPICES.

MCCORMICK WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD A CONVENIENT SOLUTION FOR FOLKS WITH PREBLENDED PUMPKIN PIE SPICE.

>> THEY WERE MAKING THIS PUMPKIN PIE SPICE WITH CINNAMON, GINGER, NUTMEG, ALLSPICE.

>> IS A GREAT COMPLEMENT TO THE HOLIDAYS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T LOVE PUMPKIN PIE.

THERE SUCH PLACE -- THERE IS A PLACE AT YOUR TABLE FOR PUMPKIN PIE SPICE.

SHIRLEY: STAYING ON THE TOPIC OF PUMPKINS, HERE IS A FACTOID FOR YOU.

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT 1.3 BILLION PUMPKINS GET TRASHED EVERY YEAR AFTER HALLOWEEN.

OUR FRIENDS OVER AT WEAVER'S WAY CO-OP HAVE SOME GREAT WAYS TO REPURPOSE THOSE PUMPKINS AFTER THE TRICK OR TREAT ARES HAVE GONE -- TRICK OR TREATERS HAVE GONE.

>> HI.

I'M A MEMBER OF WEAVER'S WAY CO-OP.

I WRITE AN ECO-TIP FOR THE SHUTTLE, THE CO-OP NEWSPAPER.

YOU CAN REPURPOSE WHOLE PUMPKINS.

IF YOUR PUMPKIN HAS BEEN SITTING OUT AND FORST -- FROST HAS BIT IT, IT STARTS TO ROT.

IF THAT ISN'T THE CASE AND YOUR PUMPKIN IS WHOLE, YOU CAN EAT IT.

ROASTING OR SAUTEEING OR BAKING OR EVEN USING YOUR HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN OR YOUR THANKSGIVING PUMPKIN PIE.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE SEEDS.

THEY ARE REALLY NUTRITIOUS.

LOTS OF PROTEIN, FATTY ACID LIKE OMEGA-3'S, IRON, BETA-CAROTENE.

IT'S A SUPERFOOD.

IF YOUR PUMPKIN IS DAMAGED OR YOU CARVED IT, MADE IT INTO A JACK-O'-LANTERN, THEN IT IS NOT SUITABLE TO EAT, AT LEAST FIVE HUMANS.

BUT YOU CAN STILL REPURPOSE IT.

-- AT LEAST BY HUMANS.

YOU CAN CLEAN OUT ANY WAX RESIDUE AND CHOP IT UP.

THAT WILL HELP IT BIODEGRADE MORE QUICKLY.

IF YOU HAVE BACKYARD CHICKENS, CHICKENS LOVE PUMPKIN.

THEY CAN EAT THE PUMPKIN.

IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A NEARBY WILDLIFE AREA, YOU CAN PUT IT OUT FOR DEER AND FOXES AND, OF COURSE, SQUIRRELS EAT THEM, TOO.

AT THAT TIME OF YEAR, IT'S GETTING HARDER FOR THEM TO FIND FOOD.

FINALLY, IF YOU DON'T USE YOUR PUMPKIN SEEDS, YOU CAN PUT THEM OUT FOR BIRDS.

IT'S REALLY NUTRITIOUS FOR THE BIRDS.

THEY NEED THAT AT THAT TIME.

YOU CAN SCATTER THEM AND THE BIRDS WILL COME AND EAT THEM.

IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF EFFORT.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

SHIRLEY: WE CARVE OURS, SO I'M DEFINITELY COMPOSTING THEM.

YOU CAN READ THE ECO-TIPS EVERY MONTH IN THE SHUTTLE.

HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN READ IT ONLINE.

REGINA: IT'S THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

SHIRLEY: JOINING US NOW, SINFUL BLISS'S MANDY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

SHIRLEY: TELL US ABOUT YOUR COMPANY.

>> WE ARE SINFUL BLISS.

WE SPECIALIZE IN ALCOHOL INFUSED DESSERTS.

WE TRAVEL ALL OVER WITH DESSERTS.

EVERYTHING IS MADE WITH ALCOHOL.

REGINA: HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS IDEA?

YOU HAD A REGULAR JOB AND THEN YOU SWITCHED GEARS.

>> I WAS STRESSED OUT.

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY MASTERS DEGREE, WORKING FULL TIME.

I HAD MY KIDS AT HOME.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE STRESS AND FIND A CREATIVE OUTLET, SO I STARTED TO BAKE.

WHEN I BAKED, I CREATED MY DESSERT AND POSTED IT ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA.

PEOPLE STARTED TO REACH OUT, HEY, WHERE CAN I GET THEM.

SURE, I WILL SELL THEM, ABSOLUTELY.

SHIRLEY: WHO WOULDN'T LIKE AN ALCOHOL INFUSED DESSERT?

TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE RECIPES.

>> SURE.

THIS IS LUST, A GODIVA WHITE CHOCOLATE LACOUR -- LIQUER CHEESECAKE.

SHIRLEY: THEY ARE NAMED AFTER THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

>> BECAUSE WE ARE A LITTLE NAUGHTY, LITTLE NICE.

JEALOUSY IS AN ESPRESSO DOUBLE CHOCOLATE VODKA CAKE, FINISHED OFF WITH GODIVA WHITE CHOCOLATE.

MY HUSBAND IS A CHOCOHOLIC.

WE HAVE WRATH, A RANDY APPLE SPICE CAKE -- BRANDY APPLE SPICE CAKE, FINISHED OFF WITH BUTTERCREAM.

IT'S FUN.

A LITTLE INTERESTING.

BETRAYAL IS OUR SEASONAL FLAVOR FOR THE FALL.

IT'S A PUMPKIN WHISKEY CAKE WITH A PUMPKIN LACOUR -- LIQUER CHEESECAKE.

SHIRLEY: WHY THE JARS?

>> THEY WERE HARD TO TRANSPORT AS CUPCAKES.

HALF OF THEM WOULD HAVE TO BE THROWN AWAY BECAUSE THEY WERE MESSED UP.

WITH A CUPCAKE, YOU ONLY HAVE ABOUT TWO DAYS BEFORE THEY GET STALE.

WITH THE JARS, THEY CAN LAST IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR FOR THREE WEEKS.

THERE'S MORE THAN SEVEN HERE.

REGINA: I HAVE GREED, A BRANDY PEACH COBBLER, BUT IT'S VEGAN.

>> WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

WE ALSO OFFER ENVY, WHICH IS OUR GLUTEN-FREE OPTION.

REGINA: WE HAVE MORE THAN SEVEN SCENES -- SINS.

>> WE STARTED OUT WITH OUR SIGNATURE SEVEN AND QUICKLY DISCOVERED WE DO A LITTLE MORE SINNING THAN THAT, SO WE ADDED OUR DECEPTION LINE.

YOU CAN FIND THEM AT THE FASHION DISTRICT, ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

WE HAVE A KIOSK THERE.

AND COMING UP, WE ARE AT CHRISTMAS VILLAGE IN PHILADELPHIA, BALTIMORE AT THE INNER HARBOR.

AND WE ARE EVEN IN BETHLEHEM AT CHRIS KENDALL MARKETS THIS SEASON -- CHRIS KENDALL MARKETS -- CHRISTKINDL MARKETS THIS SEASON.

REGINA: I TASTE THE LIQUOR.

>> IT DEPENDS ON YOUR TOLERANCE LEVEL.

I LIKE TO LAYER IT IN SO IT TASTES GOOD.

I'VE HAD DESSERTS BEFORE WHERE ALL I COULD TASTE WAS THE ALCOHOL.

I COULDN'T ENJOY IT.

YOU GET THIS ON THE BACKEND.

REGINA: THIS IS REALLY NICE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HOLIDAYS COMING UP.

YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING AT YOUR PARTY.

SHIRLEY: AND THIS IS A GREAT GIFT IDEA.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WE DO CORPORATE EVENTS.

WE CAN CUSTOMIZE OUR LABELS.

FOUR BIG PARTIES, WE WILL CREATE A SPECIAL DESSERT JUST FOR YOU.

REGINA: I WILL NEED ALL OF THESE ON THE TABLE.

SHIRLEY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, BUT I'M GOOD.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

SHIRLEY: BEFORE WE GO, THE FOOD TRUCK IS COMING.

>> YES, IN 2022.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THAT FABRICATED, SO WE WILL BE READY TO ROLL.

SHIRLEY: WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU CAME.

THANK YOU.

THESE ARE AMAZING AND DELICIOUS.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

REGINA: CRAZY THINGS HAPPEN AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR.

"YOU OUGHTA KNOW" JOINED PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS AS THEY SURVEYED MYSTERIOUS ACTIVITY AT A HISTORIC INN IN PIPER'S BILL, -- PIPERSVILLE, PA. LET'S SEE WHAT THEY FOUND.

>> SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

IT'S ALSO AFFECTING MY -- >> FLASHLIGHT.

>> FLASHLIGHT.

SHIRLEY: I KEEP FEELING LIKE THIS IS WHERE JEWELRY AND OBJECTS HAVE BEEN MOVED.

NOT JUST FEMININE JEWELRY, BUT ALSO MEN'S WALLETS, THAT KIND OF THING, BUT NEVER TO A PLACE WHERE IT CAN'T BE FOUND, BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT THE PEOPLE TO BE BLAMED FOR SOMETHING BEING STOLEN.

>> INTERESTING.

PARANORMAL IS BASICALLY A FEELING OF SOMEBODY WATCHING THEM OR THEY'LL FEEL AN ELECTRICAL ENERGY KIND OF FEELING.

OR IT COULD ALSO BE A GHOST.

PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF ENCOUNTERS WITH GHOSTS.

THAT'S ONE THING WE'VE NOTICED IN THIS WHOLE AREA, IS THAT PEOPLE ARE SEEING ALL KINDS OF WEIRD APPARITIONS.

I ALWAYS SAY THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF TRUTH TO THE FOLKLORE.

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE, TELLING THE STORY, INVESTIGATING THOSE CLAIMS.

EVERYBODY HAS A GHOST STORY.

>> THE INN WAS BUILT IN 1751.

IT HAD EIGHT OVERNIGHT ROOMS, THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR.

IN THE 1970'S, THEY ADDED A TAVERN AND A COUPLE DINING ROOMS AND FIVE ADDITIONAL HOTEL ROOMS.

WE HAD HOTEL GUESTS OVER THE YEARS WHO SAID THEY FEEL THINGS.

WE'VE HAD STAFF SAY THEY SEE THINGS, FEEL THINGS.

>> LAST NIGHT, WE WERE INVESTIGATING UPSTAIRS IN THE BALLROOM.

THEY FELT DOMINIC'S FATHER WHO HAD PASSED 20 YEARS AGO.

KAREN FELT HIS PRESENCE.

SHE FELT A MISCHIEVOUS ENERGY.

>> THIS IS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT.

SOMETHING IS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

>> HE SAID THAT AND -- >> WHOA.

>> WHAT WAS THAT?

>> WE HEARD THIS BIG BANG.

AND A TRIPOD I HAD ON A CHAIR, SECURELY ON THE CHAIR -- IT WAS ON THE CHAIR.

IT WAS FLAT ON THE CHAIR.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT COULD COME OFF.

AND A MICROPHONE CASE I HAD ON THE TABLE, THE TRIPOD WAS ON THE FLOOR AND THE CASE WAS ON THE CHAIR.

SO, SOMETHING MOVED IT OFF THE TABLE.

IN NIGHT VISION MODE, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN YOU'RE IN THAT MODE.

KAREN'S GREAT, BECAUSE SHE WILL GO INTO A VENUE AND GIVE US A PREVIEW OF WHAT WE ARE IN STORE FOR.

>> I KEEP GETTING A HEADACHE IN THIS ROOM.

>> GOOD OR BAD.

AND THEN DOMINIC IS ANOTHER MEDIUM.

YOU WILL FEEL CERTAIN THINGS IN CERTAIN AREAS.

>> JUST A LOT OF JOY, A LOT OF HAPPINESS IN THIS ROOM.

>> DAVE AND I BOTH INVESTIGATE THIS SCIENTIFICALLY.

I USUALLY LET DOMINIC AND KAREN GO INTO ONE AREA, AND THEY WILL TRY TO PICK UP ON A LOT OF THESE ENERGIES.

>> THAT'S GOING UP.

NICE.

I GUESS THEY FOLLOWED US DOWN HERE.

I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO INTO ROOM 201 OR 202.

>> DAVE AND I WILL GO INTO ANOTHER AREA.

>> SOMEBODY PASSED AWAY IN HERE.

I AM PICKING UP FOUL PLAY.

IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS STANDING ON MY CHEST.

I HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE.

I WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING.

>> WE ARE SURROUNDED BY ENERGIES ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

PEOPLE ARE FEELING THAT.

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE CONNECTED TO THE SPIRIT WORLD MORE THAN OTHERS ARE.

>> PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA ALL THESE WONDERFUL STORIES ARE IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD.

>> WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY STRANGE ANOMALIES AND SOME OF THE MOST COMPELLING PARANORMAL ENERGIES THIS TEAM HAS EVER EXPERIENCED.

AS WITH MOST CASES, WE LEAVE WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS.

REGINA: I WONDER IF WE SHOULD HAVE THEM COME TO OUR STUDIO AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SPIRITS.

SHIRLEY: JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM GIVES ME CHILLS.

REGINA: YOU CAN CHECK OUT SOME OF THEIR OTHER INVESTIGATIONS ON THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

SHIRLEY: BEFORE WE GO, THERE IS MORE FOOD HERE.

I RAN ACROSS THIS HALLOWEEN SNACK MIX ON TIKTOK.

I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.

IT'S SO EASY TO MAKE.

IT HITS THE SWEET AND SALTY FLAVOR PROFILE THAT IS SO ADDICTING.

POPCORN, PRETZELS, PEANUT BUTTER CHEX CEREAL, PEANUTS, THE AUTUMN CANDY CORN MIXED THAT I LOVE, AND HALLOWEEN M&MS.

THERE YOU GO.

REGINA: I LOVE IT.

IT'S REALLY EASY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COOK ANYTHING.

THE KIDS WILL LOVE IT.

AT MY HOUSE, THIS WILL BE GONE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES.

SHIRLEY: I THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING TO MUNCH ON WHILE YOU HAND OUT CANDY TO THE LITTLE ONES.

REGINA: THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS IN.

THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO MUNCH ON THE REST OF THE DAY.

SHIRLEY: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

REGINA: NEXT WEEK, WE TAKE YOU TO A FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY.

SHIRLEY: WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN.

GOOD NIGHT.

REGINA: BYE, EVERYONE.
