September 25th is National One-Hit Wonder Day . . . for some reason.  If you're wondering which one-hit wonder fits you best based on your zodiac sign . . . although why would you? . . . someone made a list. We had a blast playing these on air the last 2 days! I'm a Taurus and didn't love my song choice! LauRen's a Gemini who had a great throw back!

Which One-Hit Wonder song matches your Zodiac sign:

Aries:  "Cum on Feel the Noize",  Quiet Riot:  "Aries folk are about as subtle as a piñata full of ball gags . . . [This song is] an in-your-face, fist-pumping banger that begs for more and more, and then delivers."

Taurus:  "In the Summertime",  Mungo Jerry:  "Taureans live by the pleasure principle, and this song celebrates all manner of earthly delights . . . The opening grunts even sound like lazy sex, the preferred pursuit of bulls."

Gemini:  "Informer",  Snow:  "Gemini finds their spirit mirrored in a fast-spitting song that is as maddeningly likable as it is utterly incomprehensible . . . and with their penchant for word vomit, Geminis make up a large swath of snitches."

Cancer:  "Cake by the Ocean",  DNCE:  "Invokes the crab tenants of intimacy, sidestepping the point, emotional eating and the familiar comforts of seaside environs."

Leo:  "I'm Too Sexy",  Right Said Fred:  "No one has ever accused a Leo of modesty, and 'I'm Too Sexy' is an eye-roll anthem of superiority and self-worship."

Virgo:  "Dance Monkey",  Tones and I:  "Virgo is prone to hyper-focused monkey behavior, doing weird, repetitive, and completely obstinate things in a signature way."

Libra:  "Smooth Criminal",  Alien Ant Farm:  "[Libras are] so good at being charming charlatans that you almost want to thank them for robbing you."

Scorpio:  "Hit 'Em Up Style",  Blu Cantrell:  "Scorpio is the sign of sex, death and other people’s money.  This banger extolls the bitter joys of literal payback, punishing a cheating partner with financial ruin."

Sagittarius:  "Tubthumping",  Chumbawamba:  "Sagittarius is the sign of the eternal optimist and the pursuit of having a good time all of the time."

Capricorn:  "Black Velvet",  Alannah Myles:  "Sung by a Capricorn about a Capricorn, [it's] an ode to Elvis Presley.  Ruled by taskmaster Saturn and represented by the devil tarot card, Capricorn is the sign of leather and legacy."

Aquarius:  "Blue (Da Ba Dee)",  Eiffel 65:  "Aquarius flies the flag of the misunderstood, and listening to this song . . . feels a little like freebasing Fruity Pebbles and a whole lot like an Aquarius writing a memoir."

Pisces:  "Because I Got High",  Afroman:  "Pisces is the sign of altered states and pastel oblivion, and Afroman's anthem of 'all that could have been if he hadn't said yes to excess.' speaks to [that] escapist spirit."

6 Haunted Trails to Enjoy This Spooky Season in Charlotte, North Carolina

Looking for some haunted, creepy fun to enjoy? Spooky season is almost here (unless you include September like me). That's right, it's my favorite time of the year. Fall! All things fall are my favorite, but one of my all-time favorites is Halloween! I love nearly everything about the holiday. From the spooky activities to the decorations to just being able to have a little fun for the day.

Of course, me being a fan of all things scary as well, I enjoy being able to visit haunted houses and haunted trails all spooky season. I want to be screaming and yelling that I am scared something might pop out at me. I also enjoy going with other people who get freaked out, so that I can laugh! Laughing at other people being terrified is one of my favorite things during this time of the year. Call me heartless, but sometimes it is hilarious to see people get so freaked out!

Since we're slowly creeping up into October and a few haunted spots start in September, I decided to gather a list for us all. Some of the haunted trails and houses to enjoy this year in Charlotte. Now, some of these I have been to and some are things that I see and am intrigued and want to experience for myself. So, just sit back, relax, and get spooked!

6 Haunted Trails in Charlotte, North Carolina

Scarrigan Farms

Up first, is Scarrigan Farms. This 200+ acre farm turns into a spooky trial that you cannot even imagine. The trail opens the last weekend of September and will run every weekend throughout October up until November 1st. They pride themselves on being one of the scariest trails to experience in the state and it is not recommended for children under the age of 12. The trail is 40 minutes long and throughout the way you run into different scary, creepy creatures. Get your reservations online to secure your spot and get spooked through the woods and see how many times you jump! 

The 13th Acre

Okay, but the name alone kind of freaks me out. The 13th Acre is a silent, haunted trail located just outside of Charlotte in Monroe, NC. Unknown creatures are living throughout the trail and will poop out at any given moment. There is only one chance to turn back once the trail has begun, otherwise, be prepared to make it all the way through! This year, the trail will begin Friday, September 20th, and last until Halloween night. The acre comes with two different attractions a haunted cemetery trail and a twisted trail through the woods. Pick your poison or be like me and kind of want to do both! I'm certainly intrigued! 

Hickory Grove Haunted Trail

Now, here is one that I got to experience last year. It's Hickory Grove Haunted Trail in Gastonia, NC. The trail has been scaring locals and visitors for over 30 years. As someone who doesn't really get scared often, this one did get me to jump a few times. There is so much going on throughout the haunted trial that makes you have to pay attention and be on alert. This trial is one of the oldest and original haunted activities in the Charlotte area. The trail is open every day throughout the month of October, concluding on weekdays. So, get spooked at any given moment you choose. 

Booger Jim's Hollow

Now, if you are willing to take a bit of a drive (depending on where you live) this trail in Blacksburg, SC might be worth trying! Just an hour outside of Charlotte is Booger Jim's Hollow which includes a haunted house, doll house, and haunted trial. Now, what are the odds that one of these doesn't terrify you, right? The trail surrounds the legend of Booger Jim, a quiet man who snapped and murdered both his wife and child in a moment of rage before killing himself. Now, the story wounds spooky so I wonder what the trail is like. The trail begins the last weekend of September and is open every weekend until November 2 and also on Halloween night. 

SCarowinds

Here is one a bit more local to Charlotte, and in my opinion, more family-friendly since it's not as scary. It's SCarowinds. Ever wondered what it's like to be on a roller coaster in the dark? Well, SCarowinds is your chance to experience some of your favorite rides and theme park with a haunted twist. Enjoy random creatures poking around corners, haunted games, and more when you check out SCarowinds. Now, for those not wanting to be scared, they do offer No Boo necklaces which is why I refer to it being more family-friendly for those wanting to bring younger kids. It may not be the scariest thing, but you will have a great time and there are a few creatures that will pop out at any given moment. It is open on select nights starting September 13th. 

Maze of Terror

If you're wanting to drive out to China Grove, check out Maze of Terror. There is a combination of both indoor and outdoor spooky adventures for you to be spooked about while enjoying. There is a haunted hayride (which is one of my favorite things places can have), haunted houses, and more for everyone to enjoy (or not enjoy, depending on your feelings). There is also a haunted corn maze, which when you say out loud already sounds quite terrifying if you ask me. Yeah, sign me up! The trail opens up the last weekend of September!
