Bryan Hansel<p>I took this photo while on a guided tour of the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, which were a 1930s Prohibition era gangster hangout. The tour guide was briefly here talking about the caves behind him. They were filled with the wreckage of a flood. I can't figure out where that shadow above him is coming from. These caves are supposedly haunted due to a gangster shootout that happened there.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghost</span></a></p>

[031] “The Devil of Hjalta-Stad, Iceland” (1749-1750)

I put together this little website that allows you to build your own custom "spirit box"!
Upload any audio file(s), and the app turns it into spirit box style audio for your weird #paranormal experiments.
Now you can #ghost hunt with the theme music from Chip n' Dales Rescue Rangers or whatever the heck you want!
Congrats to @johnonolan and the team at Ghost, which today announced a public beta for users to connect their publications to the fediverse. If you're in their beta, you'll be able to find, follow and interact with people and publications on platforms including Ghost, WordPress, Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Flipboard and more. Get details in the blogpost here. If you want to know more about Ghost's approach to decentralization and the open social web, check out John's DotSocial conversation with @mike at the second link.
Changelog · Social web (beta)Increase your reach by connecting your publication to the Fediverse
#Ghost just announced cross-platforming for fediverse and decentralized media. Again. People seeing the moment and taking it.
Seems that #Ghost has turned on their beta #Fediverse integration. That means you can follow my publication @index now directly from #Mastodon if you're so inclined. That means that my publications from now on should pop up as posts from that account.
I suppose that means I need to write something new. :-)
(It is a beta so I expect some hiccups)

Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
