October Events around the Bay Area 👻
Alright alright, I'm hoping that making this list of Halloween-related events will put me in the spooky spirit. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love all things spooky, creepy, and fun, (& yes, I am a true crime girly), but for some reason this year the Halloween spirit hasn’t hit me yet! Maybe I need to attend some of this month’s events around the Bay Area to really get in the creepy mood. Let me know if you plan to go to any of the below events, I’d love to meet up with you!
