These Sounds From Ancient Stars Are Pretty Freaky

General

In space, no one can hear you scream because it’s a vacuum, and sound — as we know it here on Earth — can’t travel through nothing. However, that doesn’t mean there are no other sounds. In fact there’s a whole field dedicated to researching the hidden sounds of the universe. It’s called asteroseismology. Asteroseismologists measure the vibrations of stars. The frequency at which different stars vibrate can give scientists an incredible amount of data about what each star is made of. These vibrations can also be […]

General

Who doesn’t love a good diner? If you’re like most Americans (myself included), chowing down at these low-cost, down-home establishments is a way of life. In fact, you can learn a lot about a place by visiting its local diner. And after a while, these restaurants become the unofficial welcome centers of their respective cities. There’s something comforting about eating at restaurants like this, since they’re all pretty similar. iStock But that sense of familiarity goes out the window when a diner decides to take a creepy […]

Welcome To The Most Haunted House In New York State

General

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); When we think of haunted buildings, we typically consider places like old hospitals, prisons, and asylums to be the creepiest of all. However, that’s not always the case. Take, for example, this old farmhouse in the town of Hinsdale, New York. It’s widely considered to be the most haunted structure in the state. It’s unclear exactly how the Hinsdale House (as it’s now known) came to be as haunted as it is now, but this story begins in the early 1970s when the […]

Take how they used to do perms, for example. That seriously looks like a machine out of “The Twilight Zone.” Getty Images googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); }); While it might look pretty freaky to us, back […]

General

For most of us, it’s simply a matter of time until the stress of life drives us to the spa. Don’t laugh! More people do it regularly than you might think. But while you’re relaxing and having fun, just make sure that you understand the inherent risks of participating in certain spa treatments. I’m specifically talking about the exotic (and occasionally dangerous) things that go on in “fish spas.” No, a fish spa is not a spa for fish. It’s a little weirder than that. iStock The […]
