Fall 2020: HALLOWEEN Edition

I hope more people have gotten power back now! (Although the OGE map still shows a lot of outages...). The information about full credit for the Week 10 assignments is yesterday's announcements; this post is the special Halloween edition of the announcements. Between the pandemic and the ice storm, this is not the fun Halloween everybody would have hoped for, but I will still wish everyone a Happy Halloween! (And I'll be back with regular announcements on Sunday.)

To start, a wonderful graphic from OU Counseling Service:


And now, some scary Storybooks to explore:














Brer Rabbit and the Witch Rabbit: Taily-Po


Which includes this video too:
The Old Man and the Taily-po



And here are some more items for fun and exploration:

Witches. Here the witches of Wolfshagen im Harz in Germany doing their Walpurgis dance; find out more here: The Witch Dance. Walpurgis is not Halloween, I know, but hey: witches dancing!



Horror Movies. Oklahoma is represented by Terror at Tenkiller in the United States of Horror Movies.


Indian Words in English: Did you know the word CANDY comes to English via Arabic qandi and Sanskrit khanda...? For details, see this blog post. And for candy corn: Why does it look the way it does?


Here's a Spooky Sooners podcast to enjoy:
