That’s the name of one of this year’s hottest travel trends, in which people soak in experiences after dark. Think: stargazing, night markets, dinner cruises.
Given that it’s October, a local ghost tour is the perfect way to join the fun. Here are a few we’re setting our sights on:
Paranormal Adventure Tours | Those who dare are invited to bring a child’s toy from the early 1800s, a deck of cards, or a walking cane to one of several tour options.
US Ghost Adventures | This 1-mile walking tour includes stops at the Bijou Theater, the Craighead-Jackson House, and Knoxville County Courthouse and Jail.
Knoxville Walking Tours | Pick from three tour options: Shadow Side Ghost Tours, Ghosts of the Old City, and Side Street Shadows.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the first soccer player in history to accrue a net worth of $1 billion, per Bloomberg statistics. Currently plying his trade in Saudi Arabia, the 40-year-old shows no sign of calling it quits anytime soon. If you start by bringing a ball to a local park with your kid, maybe they’ll amass a similar fortune.

Sweet treats are officially good for you. Finally.
