13 Days of Halloween and ABC Family Hey Everybody,Halloween is coming up.I went and
emailed ABCFamily about bringing back The Thirteen Days of Halloween and Scariest Places on Earth.
Maybe if we get enough people requesting the show, they will
go and bring it back for the holiday.
They Sci-Fi Channel had a show about ghosts of Chicago
which was pretty interesting.
They forgot to mention the Iriqoius Theatre Fire in the 1900s.
The area in which the theatre was located is said to be haunted.A funny thing about it is my dad has a story about it.
His mother,my grandma and her family went down on the train
to Chicago from Milwaukee where they lived to see Eddie Foy.
Eddie Foy was a famous vadille preformer.When they got to the Iriqoius Theatre to see him,they couldnot get in.
So they left to go to another theatre.
The fire started on stage and Eddie Foy and the other preformers tried to get out as many people as possible.
But the exit doors were locked and even though Foy and some others got out.Many people still wound up dying many because they were trampled to death by the paniced crowd.
that was in the days when Vadiville was a big deal.
They made a movie about Eddie Foy starring Bob Hope as Foy.
Oh I loved the 13 days of halloween. I thought they would show it again this year. Didnt know they were not going to. That would be a bummer. Hey ill write to them too. thanks for telling us

Sci-Fi and the History channel are good places to catch tales of hauntings. The Travel channel should be having some shows on haunted adventures soon too.
