Flea market finds are some of the best you’ll ever discover. Whether you commonly refer to this kind of sale as a swap meet or a bazaar, a flea market is the best kind of street sale you’ll encounter. That’s because, typically, a flea market mashes up hundreds of individual vendors who regularly gather together to form a unified selling space. Specifically, the Tar River Flea Market (named after the Tar River, which runs through Rocky Mount) offers 100 inside vendors and at least 100 outside vendors each week Friday through Sunday....

Fairy tales don’t always mean stories about princes and princesses, one of whom is usually in distress. Sometimes we get that fairy tale vibe from the landscape around us – the vibrant green of the trees that hug a lone camping tent, pastel sunrises and sunsets, and a sinking sun behind a shimmering blue lake. If that sounds like your definition of a fairy tale, plan a getaway at Bear Run Campground near Pittsburgh....
We’re usually a bit skeptical about most ghost stories, but this footage of this seemingly haunted tunnel sent chills down our spines (and naturally, we had to share). This particular ore removal tunnel, known as the Horton Mine in Pershing County, Nevada, dates back to the 1800s. The eerie recording you’re about to see occurred in 2013, and the phenomena was observed and filmed again in 2014. A spelunker with several years of experience exploring mines stumbled across this place unexpectedly while checking out the Victorine Mine out in Lander County....

These winsome structures require extensive care and upkeep to maintain, and over the years, many have fallen victim to the wear and tear of time and use.
