Once you've gotten rid of any natural causes, you will need to catalog your haunting to better understand how to deal with it.  Use a record player to try to communicate with the haunting. Ask it questions and record it to see if the ghost answers. It won't always, but you may be given some sort of message which can help with getting rid of it. You will want to ask easy questions with simple answers, usually yes or no. This is simplest if you try to communicate with the ghost by asking questions and having it answer with knocking. Ask it to use one knock for yes and two knocks for no. Take photos of the areas where you experience the haunting to see if anything turns up in the final image. Use a flash when you're in a dark space, like a room, otherwise your camera will only capture darkness. Otherwise, it is best to rely on natural lighting so that lens flare doesn't confuse you. Remember that often ghostly seeming orbs and other phenomena are often simply dust on the camera lens, or light refracting from dust particles in the air. See if your family members, or roommates sense and see similar things to you. Do they hear ghostly footsteps, a knock on the bedroom door, or other manifestations? Try not to influence them with your own findings. If you can find a reputable ghost hunter or psychic, talk to them about what you've discovered and see what they think. If you can afford it, have them come to your house and see what they can find separate from your experiences. As any reputable ghost hunter will tell you, most of the ghostly visitations turn out to have a natural explanation. That doesn't mean ghosts don't exist!

Summary: Record your experiences. Have someone corroborate your findings. Don't be disappointed if your haunting turns out to be nothing.


Egg whites have been shown to help remove dead skin and improve oily skin. You can add egg whites to your honey and sugar scrub to get a more tightening effect on your skin. Add one egg white per 1 ½ tablespoon of honey. Keep in mind using raw egg in your scrub increases your chances of salmonella. Be careful when using egg whites and do not put it near your mouth to reduce your risk of swallowing raw egg. If you are struggling with acne, you may want to try using just pure honey as a mask on your skin. Dry skin, oily skin, and sensitive skin may all benefit from using a honey mask. Spread raw honey all over your face with clean fingers. Let the honey mask sit on your face and dry for ten to fifteen minutes. Then, wash the mask off with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a towel. Oats are full of natural cleansers and are great for removing dirt and oil from your skin. Mixing oats with honey and lemon will help to leave your skin feeling moisturized and clear.  Mix ¾ cup oatmeal (whole grain steel cut oats), ¼ cup honey, and ¼ cup lemon juice. Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl, pouring ¼ cup water in the bowl as you stir. If you want to soften the oats, you can run them through a coffee grinder. Use clean fingers to apply the scrub to your face and gently massage the scrub in a circular motion. Rinse off the scrub after one minute with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a towel.

Summary: Use egg whites if you have oily skin. Make a honey mask for acne. Create an oatmeal honey scrub to remove dead skin.


If your flat feet have some flexibility in them (not rigid) and they are caused primarily by weak or tight tendons / ligaments, then you should consider some form of rehabilitation. A physiotherapist can show you specific and tailored stretches and strengthening exercises for your feet, Achilles tendons and calf muscles that can help to restore your arch and make it more functional. Physiotherapy is usually required 2-3x per week for 4-8 weeks to positively impact chronic foot problems.  A common stretch for tight Achilles tendons involves placing your hands against a wall with one leg at a time outstretched behind you in a lunge-like position. Make sure you keep the outstretched foot flat on the floor to feel a stretch above your heels. Hold for about 30 seconds and repeat five to 10 times daily. A physiotherapist can tape your foot with sturdy tape that can help relieve symptoms by providing a temporary artificial arch. A physiotherapist can also treat inflamed and tender arches (called plantar fasciitis and a common complication of flat feet) with therapeutic ultrasound. A podiatrist is a foot specialist who is familiar with all conditions and diseases of the feet, including pes planus. A podiatrist will examine your foot and try to determine if your flat feet are congenital (hereditary and from birth) or acquired as an adult. They will also look for any bone trauma (fractures or displacements), possibly with the help of x-rays. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and the cause of your flat feet, the podiatrist may recommend simple palliative care (rest, ice and anti-inflammatories during flare-ups), orthotic therapy, casting or bracing the foot, or some form of surgery.  Adult-acquired flat feet affects women four times as often as men and tends to occur in later years (around 60).  X-rays are great for seeing bone problems, but they are not diagnostic for soft tissue issues, such as those of the tendons and ligaments. Your podiatrist is trained for relatively minor operations of the feet, but more complex surgeries are typically the domain of orthopedic surgeons. If your flat feet are causing you lots of problems and not significantly helped by supportive shoes, orthotics, weight loss or intensive physical therapy, then ask your family physician about potential surgical options. Your doctor may use a CT scan, MRI or diagnostic ultrasound to get a better idea of the soft tissues of your foot. For severe cases of highly rigid flat feet, especially if caused by tarsal coalition (an abnormal fusion of two or more bones in the foot), then surgery recommendation is highly likely. Surgery is also recommended for chronically tight Achilles tendons (typically a simple procedure to lengthen the tendon) or overly lax posterior tibial tendons (via tendon reduction or shortening). Your family doctor is not a foot, bone or joint specialist, so you will likely be referred to an orthopedic surgeon if surgery is required.  Surgeons typically operate on one foot at a time so as not to incapacitate the patient and impact their lives too significantly. Possible complications from surgery include: failure of fused bones to heal, infections, reduced ankle / foot range of motion, chronic pain.  Recovery times for surgery vary depending on the procedure (whether bones need to be broken or fused, tendons severed, or ligaments altered), but can last several months. Diseases that are contributive factors for flat feet include diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ligament laxity diseases such as Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.

Summary: Try some intensive physical therapy. Consult a podiatrist. Talk to your doctor about surgical options.


When the jello has had at least several hours to set and is completely firm, remove the brains from the refrigerator. Flip the molds over onto the baking sheet. Gently peel the side of the mold away from the top of the jello to remove the brains. Move the brains from the baking sheet and arrange them on a large flat plate or serving platter. Place one to two drops of red food coloring or raspberry syrup onto each brain to make the brains look bloody. The red food coloring is optional, and the brains will be just as yummy if you choose not to add it. Once the brains have been plated and garnished with blood, you can serve them as is. Or, for an added effect, cut the tops off of each brain to reveal the filling inside. After slicing off the top, lay each top back on the brain, but slightly to the side so you can see the filling. Now your zombie brain jello shots are ready to serve and enjoy!
Summary: Remove the shots from the mold. Transfer the brains to a serving platter and add the blood. Slice the tops off the brains before serving.
