A graphic artist is testing people's attention to detail with a digital brain teaser that is quite the "hoot."

Gergely Dudás of Dresden, Germany, shared a seasonal visual puzzle with Fox News Digital that depicts owls in matching fall sweaters — except for one lonesome bird.

The fall cartoon is filled with sweater adorned owls who have a matching twin.

BRAIN TEASER: CAN YOU FIND THE 3 GHOSTS HIDDEN AMONG THE PANDAS?

However, one owl is without his matching twin — can you find him?

Each owl has a fun, two-toned sweater with a variety of creative designs from polka dots to hearts to jack-o'-lanterns and more.

The trick of the puzzle is to identify the one owl that does not have a sweater matching twin.

Dudás posted his autumn-inspired digital puzzle to social media on Sept. 25.

On Facebook, the artist's feather-filled puzzle has generated over 563 reactions, 38 comments and 97 shares at the time of the publication. This puzzle has received 947 likes on Instagram.

"Ok I figured out what you're supposed to be looking for," one Facebook user commented. "They all have a buddy matching sweater or even a set of 3."

"GOT IT [in] 7 seconds…," another commenter emphasized with clapping hand emojis.

"It was tricky but I found it haha," a Facebook user wrote.

A new book for young readers may wind up in more than a few Christmas stockings this year.

It was inspired by a story that Raymond Arroyo, a Fox News contributor and bestselling author, stumbled upon — and one that's connected to a longtime American holiday tradition.

When President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary — in 1863, while in the White House — received a live turkey for the family to feast on at Christmas, their precocious eight-year-old son Tad, who was fond of animals, apparently adopted the bird as a pet.

GREATEST INVENTOR OF ALL TIME WOULD NOT HAVE SUCCEEDED WITHOUT A KEY PERSON IN HIS LIFE

He named the turkey Jack — and even taught the bird to follow behind as he hiked around the White House grounds, as Smithsonian Magazine and other sources have noted.

On Christmas Eve, Lincoln told his son that Jack's days as a pet were coming to a close. 

"Jack was sent here to be killed and eaten for this very Christmas," the president reportedly told Tad.

The boy replied, "He’s a good turkey, and I don’t want him killed." 

The boy apparently argued that the bird had every right to live — and "the president gave in to his son, writing a reprieve for the turkey on a card and handing it to Tad," as Smithsonian also related. 

Jack the turkey remained with Tad Lincoln for another year.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, OCT. 3, 1863, LINCOLN ISSUES POWERFUL THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

This is the beginning of the annual White House tradition of the presidential turkey pardon each fall. 

Ever since 1947, under President Harry Truman, the National Turkey Federation has donated turkeys to the president ahead of Thanksgiving. While President John F. Kennedy is believed to be the first president to spare the turkey, and while President George H. W. Bush was the first to formalize the "pardon" tradition, the entire scenario reportedly dates back to Lincoln in 1863.

And it's this story that Arroyo has used as the foundation of his new illustrated book. 

Fox News Digital spoke to Arroyo about his new book, which goes on sale Tuesday, October 3.

Fox News Digital: Why did you choose to write about the Lincoln family right now? 

Raymond Arroyo: I stumbled upon this story after observing an annual White House Thanksgiving tradition — and I quickly realized that it was a tradition created by Tad Lincoln, President Lincoln's youngest son. 

As I explored the story, I discovered that this was not just the origin story of a great American holiday, and an ongoing national tradition, but the story of a father and son who learned mercy and forgiveness from one another.

My first book in this series was about how Thomas Edison was saved by his mother. This one is about how Abraham Lincoln was saved by his son — and they left us a holiday tradition to commemorate it.

Fox News Digital: What particularly moved you about this relationship between father and son — and why did you want to share these insights with readers this year?

RA: We are so used to seeing Abraham Lincoln looking depressed and sad, that we forget — and the historical record is clear on this — he would break down in laughter when playing with his boys or observing the mayhem they created.

The president allowed his boys to do things no children would be allowed to do now. They hitched goats in the East Room and galloped through parties, dug up the White House Rose garden — and the president would delight in it all.

Lincoln's co-workers and staff often wondered why he indulged this little "hellion," Tad. 

What I discovered is that for Lincoln, weighed down by a shattered nation and running a losing war, his son Tad was a touchstone of joy — a reminder of the normalcy and light on the other side of the chaos he was living.

They were inseparable, particularly after the death of Lincoln's son, Willie. There is an important lesson for parents in this: Our children, just being children, can be the greatest gift of all. For Lincoln, Tad was his lifeline.

Fox News Digital: Do you feel that American kids and students today need to learn more add be taught more about our founders and their lives — and if so, why? 

RA: This is the second book in the Turnabout Tales Series. Our motto is: Challenges Faced, Decisions Made, History Turned. 

Each book focuses on a great, young life at a moment of crisis. 

What I have learned by visiting schools all over the country is that many of these historic figures are no longer part of the curriculum. But they hold such important lessons for young people and all of us.

So I decided to represent these historic figures as young people, so young readers could relate to them.

What they quickly realize it that these kids from a century or two ago are facing the same challenges they are facing today. In this case, Tad is coping with loneliness and loss — and ends up teaching his dad a lesson about mercy. Along the way, they create an enduring national holiday tradition. 

It's not only a fun romp through a moment in history, but a way to explore the origins of Thanksgiving like never before. (And you will never look at a Thanksgiving turkey the same way.) Our kids need to know these stories, as they are really guides for living from those who went before. 

Fox News Digital: How is it different or unique to write for children — as opposed to writing for adults, as you’ve done throughout your career?

RA: I love writing what I call "family reads," like the Turnabout Tales series. 

But these picture books are a lot harder to write than chapter books, at least for me. You only have 19 turns of the page to tell an entire story. That's a very small amount of space to tell a story like Tad's — so you have to be economical with the storytelling. 

But the format allows me an element of fun and comedy that I think wins over readers.

This book is very emotional. It's moving. There are slapstick moments and heartbreaking ones and I think every reader young or old will learn a lot.

Fox News Digital: What else should readers know?

RA: This is the perfect book for the family during the holidays. It is the origin story of a great national tradition, a tradition that I consider a monument to the affection between Abraham and Tad Lincoln.

And it is also how the Lincoln family — and one child — marked the nation.

Editors' note: Published by Zonderkiz, "The Magnificent Mischief of Tad Lincoln" by Raymond Arroyo is already a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon in the "Children's US Presidents and First Ladies Biography" category.

A Florida couple welcomed a baby girl into the world on Sept. 3 — their third baby to be born on that date.

"Our mouths dropped," dad Jeremy Turner, 33, of Ocala, Florida, told Fox News Digital. 

"We were like, ‘It’s happening all over again.’ When we were at the hospital, the doctors kept telling us that they've never heard of a case like this ever before happening in Ocala."

ALABAMA BABY BORN ON SAME DAY AS MOM AND DAD: '1 IN 133,000' CHANCE

That’s true — and the hospital confirmed it to Fox News Digital.

"We celebrated the extraordinary when our team delivered the Turner family's third child in four years with all three children sharing the same birthday," Cindy Poirier, assistant vice president of Women's and Children's at AdventHealth Ocala, said in a statement.

She went on, "Such a rare and exciting event reminds us of the magic of life and the connections we foster here in our community."

All three births were natural, Sauhry Turner, 26, the girls’ mom, said.

"People have asked me if I had C-sections," Sauhry Turner noted.

"No. No C-sections. All the girls were natural births and unplanned," Sauhry Turner added.

Jasmine Turner was born at 3:24 p.m. after 17 hours of labor, on Sept. 3, 2020. 

She weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and measured 20 inches.

Exactly one year later, Jasmine’s little sister Jessica was born, also on Sept. 3 — and the date wasn’t the only similarity.

BABY BORN 2/22/22 AT 2:22 AM IN ROOM 2: 'BLESSING FOR HER FAMILY'

Jessica weighed 7½ pounds and measured 20 inches long. 

She also shares a birthmark in the same spot as Jasmine.

Jessica was due to be born on Sept. 7 – nearly missing the chance to be born on her sister’s birthday.

"She came early," Sauhry Turner said. "But it was close to midnight, so Jessica almost didn't make it. She was born at 11:15 p.m.."

MOM GIVES BIRTH TO IDENTICAL TWINS 3 DAYS APART IN TEXAS: 'VERY UNCOMMON'

Sauhry said she did not go to any extreme efforts to make sure little Jessica was born before the stroke of 12.

"It just happened on its own," Jeremy Turner said. "She was there at the hospital for a very long time almost the whole day. And then it just happened almost close to midnight."

When the Turners found out they were pregnant with a third baby, they were shocked when the ultrasound revealed a due date of Sept. 4.

"That blew our minds," Jennifer Turner, Jeremy’s mother, who lives with the family, told Fox News Digital. 

FIVE SETS OF TWINS BORN WITHIN 2.5 WEEKS AT NEW YORK HOSPITAL: ‘RAINING TWIN BABIES’

"I was like, 'That’s close. That's going to happen again,'" she said.

Like clockwork, Juliet Turner was born at 6:44 p.m. on Sept. 3, 2023.

"It was just random," Sauhry Turner said. 

Jasmine, age 3, and Jessica, 2, have embraced their roles as big sisters.

TWINS BORN IN DIFFERENT YEARS, 15 MINUTES APART: '1 IN 2 MILLION CHANCE'

The two share a room and their dad said they do not yet understand that they share the same birthdays with each other — and now with baby Juliet.

But Jeremy Turner said he’s come to the realization that he’s way outnumbered — mostly by girls who were born on Sept. 3.

"I'm the only guy in this home," he said. "I live with a bunch of girls now, but I love it. I know it's something unique that doesn't happen a lot. I'm the happiest father in Ocala. I am lucky to have these three girls born on the same day," he said.

While it does not happen often, there are families with even more children born on the same day. 

FIRST BABY EVER BORN AT VIRGINIA HOSPITAL WELCOMES DAUGHTER 28 YEARS LATER AT SAME FACILITY

A Pakistani family of nine — the Mangi family — all share the same birthday: Aug. 1, Guinness World Records reports.

The father, Ameer Ali, mother, Khudeja, and seven children aged 19-30, hold the world record for the most family members born on the same day.

Making it even more special, Aug. 1, 1991, is also Ameer and Khudeja Mangi’s wedding anniversary.

In 2021, a Minnesota family welcomed their third child in four years — all born on April 6.

As for the Turners, they said they feel "blessed."

"I just want them to be happy and healthy. Hopefully we can move to a house with more room to play," Sauhry Turner said.

Even with mom Sauhry Turner being in the hospital on her older daughters' birthdays, the celebrations have been plentiful.

"My dad came from out of town from Port St. Lucie to see Juliet and also came to celebrate Jessica and Jasmine’s birthdays," Jeremy Turner said. 

Jeremy Turner said he thinks that aside from his girls sharing a birthday, they will also share a special bond.

"I think being born on the same day — that is something special they'll carry with them as they get older," Jeremy Turner said. 

"They will always have a close relationship since they share the same birthday." 

The hope is that next year, no one will be in the hospital, Jeremy Turner said — and that the family can take a trip to Disney World.

"American Pie" singer Don McLean — who is still performing and touring in 2023 — was born on this day in history, Oct. 2, 1945, in New Rochelle, New York.

He is forever associated with his iconic hit "American Pie" — which was named one of the Top 5 Songs of the 20th Century in a poll by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Born to Elizabeth and Donald McLean, the young Don McLean developed an interest in music at an early age, says his official website. A five-year-old McLean "would spend hours listening to the radio and records that were around the house."

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, OCTOBER 1, 2013, TECHNO-THRILLER NOVELIST TOM CLANCY PASSES AWAY 

He began learning how to play music, performing for friends and family.

As a teenager, McLean decided to devote his life to music. "I made the right decision when I decided at age 15 that I wanted to chuck it all and be a singer and a musician, and I didn't care what happened," he told Fox News Digital in a January 2022 interview. 

"That's what I learned. And it was the best thing I ever did," he said. 

Along the way, he made sure to get a college degree. In 1968, McLean earned a BA from Iona College with a major in finance and a minor in philosophy, his website notes.

McLean recorded his first album, "Tapestry," in 1969. 

DON MCLEAN OF 'AMERICAN PIE' FAME TELLS FOX NEWS DIGITAL, 'I DID THE RIGHT THING WITH MY LIFE'

The album received "good reviews and achieved some commercial success," said McLean's website. 

"Tapestry" transformed McLean "from an unknown to an underground sensation" — and he began to play nightclubs and at colleges, said his site.

Among the hit songs from the album: "Castles in the Air" and "And I Love You So."

‘AMERICAN PIE’ ICON DON MCLEAN ON AI: ‘IT’LL BE BETTER THAN WHAT PASSES ITSELF OFF AS MUSIC TODAY'

Two years later, in 1971, McLean made the jump from nightclubs to super stardom with the release of his second studio album, "American Pie." 

The song was recorded on May 26, 1971, and first played on the radio a month later. It was released as a single in November 1971, says his website. 

"American Pie" — a folk-rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock ‘n’ roll generation — hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart on Jan. 15, 1972, after spending eight weeks on the charts, notes the History Channel's website.

"American Pie" held this record for nearly half a century. 

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1936, LEGENDARY SINGER-SONGWRITER BUDDY HOLLY IS BORN IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS

The record was broken in Nov. 2021 when "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift hit No. 1 at a length of 10 minutes and 13 seconds. 

"There is something to be said for a great song that has staying power," McLean told Billboard at the time. 

"‘American Pie’ remained on top for 50 years and now Taylor Swift has unseated such a historic piece of artistry. Let’s face it, nobody ever wants to lose that No. 1 spot, but if I had to lose it to somebody, I sure am glad it was another great singer/songwriter such as Taylor," he said. 

"American Pie" received four Grammy nominations, including for Album of the Year and Song of the Year. 

While the song did not win Grammy Awards when it was released, "American Pie" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. 

In 2004, McLean was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 15, 1969, WOODSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL KICKS OFF

He is also well-known for many other hits, including "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" and "Crying." 

He's amassed more than 40 gold and platinum records worldwide in his career.

Many top singer-songwriters have released covers of his songs, including Madonna — who in 2000 recorded a cover version of "American Pie" that on release in the U.K. entered the official singles chart at No. 1 and made the U.S. top-30 on air play points alone, according to McLean's website.

When EMI then released a new "Best of Don McLean" CD, it gave McLean his first top-30 album chart entry in almost 20 years, his website also notes.

McLean was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 2004. 

McLean is currently touring as part of his "American Pie" 50th anniversary celebration. 

In the month of October 2023 alone, he'll be performing in Colorado, Montana, Vermont, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Connecticut and New Jersey.

The only surviving dress worn by Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) has gone on display in London in a new museum exhibit.

Also, a glove worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953 and Charles Dickens' court suit feature in a new exhibition as well, which showcases 400 years of fine craftmanship in London.

Visitors to the exhibition "Treasures of Gold and Silver Wire" at the Guildhall Art Gallery will be able to see over 200 items — from centuries-old robes to contemporary jewelry — British news service SWNS reported. 

CORONATION ADVICE FROM ONE IN THE KNOW: GRENADIER GUARD AT QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S EVENT SPILLS SECRETS

Royal regalia, theatrical costumes, military attire, ecclesiastical artifacts, plus modern jewelry, silversmithing and embroidery all feature in the new exhibit, including the 16th century Bacton Altar Cloth, believed to be the only surviving dress worn by Queen Elizabeth I.

Other exhibits include a robe worn by David Tennant in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Richard II."

Queen Mary's coronation dress — adorned with gold and silver silk thread — from 1911, plus the crown and gold robe worn by Dame Helen Mirren when she played Cleopatra are also featured, along with costumes worn by Claire Foy and Matt Smith in the TV royal drama "The Crown."

(King George V and Queen Mary were crowned king and queen of the United Kingdom and the British Empire on June 22, 1911.) 

Curated by Dr. Karen Watts of the Royal Armories, the new exhibition is in honor of the 400th anniversary of the Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers, SWNS reported.

Said Munsur Ali, chair of the City of London Corporation’s Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee, "With such a visually engaging range of exhibits on display, this new exhibition promises to provide a feast for the senses," said the same source. 

He also said, "I am sure that the show will prove very popular, in particular, with costume designers, fashion and military historians, theater fans and lovers of jewelry, who will find it very hard to resist the invitation to see this remarkable collection."

He added, "We are proud to host the exhibition as part of our Destination City program."

The museum is located in the Moorgate area of London. 

It is a stone building in a semi-Gothic style "intended to be sympathetic to the historic Guildhall" — which is adjacent and to which it is connected internally, as its website notes.

Catherine Carr with the new exhibit said, "This superb exhibition will showcase the beautiful application of gold and silver wire over the centuries and will appeal to all ages, offering an opportunity to view examples of gold and silver wiredrawing of a caliber unmatched anywhere," as SWNS noted.

She added, "Visitors to the gallery will be able to put the exhibits in their proper social, cultural and historic contexts, discover the stories connected to them, and marvel at the creativity, attention to detail, patience and technology that went into their design."

"Treasures of Gold and Silver Wire" is at Guildhall Art Gallery for six weeks until Sunday, Nov. 12, as multiple sources reported.

It opened on Sept. 29.

The Catholic Church is in a precarious cultural moment in history as it balances the need to stay true to its teachings but also to live out its mission to be a welcoming church, as Pope Francis has emphasized.

There's hardly a more reasonable voice out there to aid in the venture than Bishop Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota. 

Beyond his clerical position, Barron is the popular priest behind Word On Fire, a global Catholic media ministry. 

HALLOW PRAYER APP ACCOMPLISHED ITS GOAL DURING THE GOP DEBATE: ‘PRAY WITH ME REAL QUICK’ 

A leading thinker and on-demand speaker, Barron is also the author of several best-selling books on theology and Catholic teaching, helping millions of Catholics, young and old, to navigate the difficult journey of living out their faith in a secular world.

He's also quite humble. He announced only recently that he is one of the delegates chosen by Pope Francis to partake in the monumental event called the Synod on Synodality, which is taking place at the Vatican in Rome for most of October. 

The Synod on Synodality is the largest so-called readjusting, perhaps, of the Catholic Church since Vatican II in the early 1960s.

A handful of Vaticanistas have all but called it a Francis version of Vatican III.

What's different is that these next few weeks of discussions not only involve men of the cloth, bishops and priests — but many more lay leaders, women and advocates for LGBTQ Catholics.

And they won't just be poring over documents from the Magisterium, the official and authoritative teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. As Barron has written, "Our discussions will be based on what they call an Instrumentum laboris or 'working document,' which for this synod represents the culmination of two years of listening sessions with Catholics from across the globe."

‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ IS ESSENTIAL TO AMERICA'S FUTURE AS NATIONAL FAITH APPEARS TO WANE, SAYS WASHINGTON PASTOR

This, then, is the controversy. 

Conservative Catholics have heavily criticized Pope Francis, calling the synod a "trojan horse" bent on changing the Church's core teachings on gender, sexuality and marriage.

Fr. Gerald Murray, a canon lawyer and pastor of the Church of the Holy Family in New York City, wrote about the synod in The Catholic Thing.

He said, "It unapologetically calls into question various Catholic doctrines under the guise of listening to the Holy Spirit who, remarkably, is somehow speaking through the complaints and criticisms of those who reject what the Church teaches and has always taught."

BLACK CONSERVATIVE FATHER AND FAITH LEADER HOMESCHOOLS 6 KIDS TO ‘GET GOD IN’: ‘WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT?’

Gavin Ashenden of the Catholic Herald has written, "It would be a serious mistake not to realize that the progressive liberal mindset wants to change the ethics of the faith. So, it replaces the categories of ‘holiness and sin’ with "inclusion and alienation ... Sin and separation from God are not as alarming as alienation, angst and separation from society. The supernatural is replaced by the political."

Vatican expert George Weigel, talking about the difference between Vatican II and the Synod on Synodality, said on the "Lighthouse Faith" podcast, "Vatican II was far more about sanctifying the world, or, if you will, Christ defying the world than it was about reinventing the Catholic Church."

Barron, although not really a liberal or conservative, said on "Lighthouse Faith" recently that the real issue is that the Church must decide what it means by being a "welcoming church."

Said Barron, "If by welcoming you mean — [as] the pope did in Lisbon" for World Youth Day — [in] his famous homily where he said, 'Who's welcome in the church? … Todos, todos, todos. Everybody, everybody.' Well, of course, everyone's welcome in that sense. We want to invite you to share the life of the church. But I think for a lot of people on the left, ‘welcoming’ means — well, ‘your lifestyle is just fine and we totally approve of your lifestyle.’ And the church, it seems to me, can't say that."

Barron's main focus is helping young Catholics understand their faith and not succumb to the indoctrination into a secular worldview that often happens when they go off to college. 

FLORIDA PASTOR REVEALS WHY THE FAITHFUL WHO STAY FOCUSED ON JESUS CAN EXPERIENCE THE ‘GREATEST MIRACLE’

Word On Fire has raised thousands of dollars to give every incoming first-year student a Bible with study outlines that challenge them to see the depths of how Scripture applies to their life.

Said Barron, "We've dumbed down our faith for way too long. We presented the faith in a way that's just not very intellectually compelling. And we've got a very rich intellectual tradition."

So "I would say jump into that arena, jump into that fray, and propose to give young people a different vision of things."

FAITH DILEMMA IN FOCUS: 'IT'S SUNDAY AND I HAVEN'T GONE TO CHURCH — WHAT DO I DO?'

Barron was actively involved in helping actor Shia LeBoeuf in his recent conversion to Catholicism. 

Said Barron, "He was in my pastoral region when I was out in California. Because he was researching the role of Padre Pio, and he went to this Capuchin monastery that was in my region."

He added, "And so I ran into him during that period. Most of them didn't know Shia LaBeouf from Cab Calloway. ... But they saw this young guy who was struggling and questioning and they took him in and ... they treated him kind of like as one of their own."

And "they talked to him and they instructed him. They listened to him. And it was the compassion of the friars that really, I think, brought him more deeply into the faith."

AS SUICIDE RATES INCREASE, FAITH LEADER SHARES 3 KEY POINTS, NOTING, ‘HOPE IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE’ 

Barron downplayed his own involvement, but he talked about it a lot more in a sitdown podcast with LaBeouf that can be seen on the Word On Fire website. 

It is in how Barron approached the actor that he revealed his belief about the Church and the term "welcoming." 

He thinks the term should be changed altogether.

"I don't like the word ‘welcome’ as much. I like the word ‘love,'" said Barron. "Love means to will the good of the other, right? So the Church is loving toward everyone. The Church reaches out in a loving embrace to the whole world. It's the Bernini colonnade in Rome outside St Peter's. It's like two great arms reaching out."

But Barron said it's a definition of love that is far more nuanced.

He said, "Love means, 'What's really good for you? What's objectively good for you?' So that doesn't mean I just affirm everything you're doing … It might mean I'm going to deeply challenge what you're doing and saying."

His hope for the Synod on Synodality is that this kind of love prevails.

And he prefers "love or compassion or charity language to ‘welcoming’ — because ‘welcoming’ is too vague."

The Catholic Church is not about being vague — but about preaching the truth in love.

"And without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifested in the flesh Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory" (1 Timothy 3:16).

This verse comes from the First Letter of St. Paul to Timothy. The epistle is believed to have been written later in Paul's life, says the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. 

Timothy, whom Paul converted, was a leader of the Ephesian congregation. 

FLORIDA PASTOR REVEALS WHY THE FAITHFUL WHO STAY FOCUSED ON JESUS CAN EXPERIENCE 'THE GREATEST MIRACLE'

The "mystery of godliness" noted in the verse "unfolds the great love of God for man," Pastor Jon Bell told Fox News Digital. 

Bell is senior pastor at Calvary Chapel in Flower Mound, Texas.

"From the days of old there was a mystery unfolding, glimpses of grace that pointed to the wonders of God," Bell told Fox News Digital.

These glimpses "gave puzzle pieces of something to come," he said.

THE LORD IS 'THE ORIENTING CENTER OF OUR LIVES,' SAYS MASSACHUSETTS FAITH LEADER: 'WE CAN BE BOLD'

That something was Jesus Christ — "the fulfillment of the mystery, the essence of the shadow, and the missing piece of the puzzle." 

In 1 Timothy, it is explained how the various characteristics of Christ make His divine nature clear, and explain what and why Jesus was sent to Earth to do. 

Jesus is "the mystery of godliness," said Bell.

As fully man, Jesus "puts [God] on display in a way that man could relate to and understand. It was the communication of God in man's language."

Bell added, "All man could know about God would be revealed in His Son and His work."

It is clear within scripture that Jesus is God, said Bell, and "manifest in the flesh."

"He, Jesus, is God in the flesh."

Perfectly sinless, Jesus was similarly "justified in the spirit" and was "untainted by the fallen condition that affects all creation … When Jesus was baptized, that sinless condition was declared to the world as the Holy Spirit descended upon Him," he said. 

"Angels themselves, those heavenly beings, hovered around Jesus," said Bell. "They had never seen love like they had in the person and work of Jesus." 

And despite being a Jewish man, "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," Jesus Christ is the Savior of all, said Bell — not just a certain segment of the population.

"Jesus is not regionally exclusive and isolated," said Bell. "He came for all the world."

Said the pastor, "His work was made available to all. Jesus was received, and still is, all around the world." 

At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus was crucified, died and was resurrected into heaven — and was "received up in glory," just as the verse claims. 

"Jesus finished His work and went back to take His seat on the right hand of God the Father, where He lives to make intercession for us," said Bell. 

"He is our advocate in heaven, who paved the way to heaven for us through His life, death and resurrection."

Tom Clancy, author of such bestselling novels as "The Hunt for Red October" and "Patriot Games," and a lifelong Republican who counted President Ronald Reagan among his fans, died at the age of 66 on this day in history on Oct. 1, 2013, according to multiple sources. 

Clancy was an American author best known for his espionage, military science and technological thrillers, noted Biography.com.

He was the author of 17 New York Times bestsellers — and had his career launched by President Reagan.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1927, BABE RUTH SWATS RECORD 60TH HOME RUN. SHOCKS SPORTS WORLD

"'The Hunt for Red October,' his first novel, had been bought for a lowly $5,000 by the Naval Institute Press. When Reagan pronounced it ‘the perfect yarn’ in 1984, Clancy, then a Maryland insurance agent, was propelled into a hugely successful writing career," said The Guardian.

The plot of the novel was about the defection of a Soviet submarine commander to the United States. The novel captured the spirit of Reagan-era Cold War politics that called attention to Soviet military capability and the U.S.'s capacity to meet and surpass the Soviet challenge, according to Encyclopedia.com.

To return the compliment to President Reagan, in 1996, Clancy dedicated his book "Executive Orders," to him. 

The dedication read, "To Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th president of the United States: the man who won the war," reported Politico.

"The Hunt for Red October" introduced Clancy’s most famous character, Jack Ryan, a CIA agent who becomes president. 

JACK CARR'S TAKE ON THE LATE TOM CLANCY, BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1947: 'DEFINED THE MODERN TECHNO-THRILLER'

Ryan has been portrayed by, among others, Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and John Krasinski, in films such as "Patriot Games," "Clear and Present Danger" and "The Sum of All Fears," according to The Guardian.

In several interviews, Clancy described the heroic Ryan as a version of himself — "an improved version, because he never had to get his eyes fixed by an ophthalmologist and all that stuff that I've had to do," according to multiple sources.

Clancy was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1947. After graduating from Loyola College in Baltimore in 1969, he married Wanda Thomas, an insurance agency manager. 

Clancy became an insurance agent in Baltimore, and later in Hartford, Connecticut, noted Encycopedia.com.

His poor eyesight made him ineligible for a military career, but Clancy maintained an interest in the military and researched various aspects of the U.S. Armed Forces and military technology, the same source indicated.

Ten of Clancy's novels earned No. 1 rankings on The New York Times bestseller list.

More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed, and four have been made into movies, according to Biography.com. 

Those films were "The Hunt for Red October" (1990), "Patriot Games" (1992), "Clear and Present Danger" (1994), and "The Sum of All Fears," which debuted on the big screen in 2002.

Though Clancy had no military or espionage experience himself, his books were applauded for their authenticity.

"He was often invited to lecture to military audiences and counted high-ranking U.S. Army and security services personnel among his friends; he was frequently consulted as a pundit on U.S. military affairs," according to The Guardian.

Clancy was known as a "novelist who created the techno-thriller — a suspenseful novel that relies on extensive knowledge of military," according to Britannica.com

That moniker was something that Clancy acknowledged.

"People say I write techno-thrillers and Cold War novels. I say I write books," Clancy told The Baltimore Sun in 1991. 

"As long as there are bad guys around, I can write books. And last time I looked, there are still a few bad guys out there," he said, according to the same source.

He also had a baseball connection to his hometown of Baltimore. He was a minority owner of the Orioles, according to NBC Sports.

Clancy died on Oct. 1, 2013, at age 66 in a Baltimore hospital. 

Prior to his death, Clancy was working on a new novel, "Command Authority," which was released posthumously in December 2013, according to several sources.

An Oklahoma couple who dressed up as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for a 2020 Halloween party has gone viral on social media, with users saying that couple predicted the celebrity romance nearly three years prior. 

Makayla Stephens told Fox News Digital that she first made a TikTok video detailing her costume after seeing couple costume ideas on her feed.

"I was thinking about it, and it connected that we had already done it [the costume]," Stephens said. "And my husband was asleep, and I woke him up and said, ‘baby, this is going to be a trend. And we already did it. We did it three years ago.’'"

After posting a three-minute video of her and her husband's costumes, the post quickly went viral with over 100,000 views and hundreds of comments.

"It's been madness," Stephens added.

She said that the idea for the Swift and Kelce couple costume came "completely accidentally" after being invited to a last minute Halloween party at her in-laws house.

"It was actually like completely accidental," Stephens said. "We had been invited to a last minute family Halloween gathering, and they told us that we needed to be costumes."

"We really just scrounged through our closet. And my husband has always been a big Kansas City Chiefs fan and Taylor Swift had just released Folklore," Stephens said. "I was trying to see which different type of Taylor I could be, and I ended up going with Lover Era Taylor."

The couple said that no one was impressed with their costume when they arrived at the 2020 Halloween party.

"It was so funny because nobody at the party was very impressed with their costume.They really aren't great. They were pretty terrible," Stephens admitted, laughing. "But now, three years later, it's turned into something we could never have imagined."

Following the Oct. 14, 2020, party, the couple posted on Instagram photos of their costumes. Nick was sporting Kelce's No. 87 jersey, and Makayla wore pink with a glittery heart around her eye — just as Swift did in her Lover album cover.

"I don’t know any world in which Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would be in the same room together, but apparently in this one they’re married?'" Makayla joked in the caption of her Instagram post.

Amid the recent news that Taylor and Travis may be dating, Swift's massive fan base, known as Swifities, said that the Stephens' predicted the romance. 

"I give you all the credit," one commenter wrote. "Well done."

"So we all have you to thank?" another wrote.

"She literally spoke it into existence," one wrote, referring to rumors that Swift and Kelce are dating.

Marine rescuers in Massachusetts rescued and released two dolphins found stranded in shallow river water on Cape Cod.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) said in a press release that marine rescuers worked tirelessly for a full day to return the aquatic mammals to the ocean.

The global nonprofit said it received reports at 9 a.m. Thursday about several dolphins trapped in shallow water near the mouth of the Herring River in Wellfleet. A group of marine rescuers immediately responded to assess the dolphins’ location and behavior, the IFAW said in a release.

The teams found two dolphins stranded in the shallow part of the river.

"Volunteers remained on scene throughout the morning before sighting two dolphins in ‘the gut’ of the river, an area well-known for its shallow, difficult-to-navigate mud flats," Lauren Cooley, animal rescue responder and stranding biologist with IFAW, said in a release.

After attempts to lead the dolphins to deeper water failed, the team decided to use dolphin rescue vehicles to pull the dolphins from the water.

Nearing 4 p.m., the group used the "IFAW’s one-of-a-kind mobile dolphin rescue vehicle" to continue rescue efforts.

The dolphins were eventually successfully transported to a release site at Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown at sunset. 

"It was a long, tiring day for these dolphins, and with the tide going out, we knew their greatest chance for survival was to transport them to deeper waters," Cooley said. "With our mobile capabilities, we were able to give the dolphins a full physical exam, treatment, and supportive care to counter the effects of being trapped in shallow water."

"The deeper waters off Provincetown will be key to their success back in the wild," Cooley said.

The IFAW said it will continue to monitor the dolphins for the next few days using temporary satellite tracking tags.

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that targets the lymphatic system. 

It is often confused with leukemia, another type of blood cancer. A main difference between the two is that lymphoma typically affects the lymph nodes, while leukemia usually occurs in the bone marrow.

Even though the starting point of the two cancers differentiate them, they involve many similar symptoms.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the more common of the main two types, accounts for about 4% of all cancers in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. It is slightly more common in males than in females. 

THE CANCER PREVENTION DIET: 6 SMART TIPS FROM A NUTRITIONIST ON WHAT TO EAT AND WHY-AND WHAT TO AVOID

It is also one of the more common cancers among kids among all cancer types. 

That said, risk still increases with age. 

Below is everything you need to know about lymphoma.

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system contains the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. 

Even though lymphoma starts in the lymphatic system, specifically the lymph nodes, it can potentially spread into other parts of the body. 

There are two main types of lymphoma, Hodgkins and non-Hodgkin's, with non-Hodgkin's being the more common of the two. 

PROSTATE CANCER SYMPTOMS, WARNING SIGNS AND TREATMENT 

These two types are broad classifications, but there are several subsets under each one.

Lymphoma is serious in the sense that it can spread quickly. That said, it is a very curable type of cancer. 

There are numerous ways in which lymphoma can be diagnosed in an individual. One common, less invasive process of diagnosis is a physical exam, where a doctor will feel for swollen lymph nodes around the neck, underarms and groin. The lymph node may need to be removed for testing. 

Other methods of diagnosis are blood tests, removing bone marrow for testing, or image testing, such as via a CT or MRI. 

The way that lymphoma is treated depends on each individual patient and the severity of the spread. 

For certain lymphoma patients, the cancer is very stable, and nothing more than monitoring is needed.

For others suffering from more severe cases, treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, a bone marrow transplant or a combination of these treatment options. 

Common systems that could be related to lymphoma are painless swelling of lymph nodes in neck, armpits or groin, persistent fatigue, ongoing fever, night sweats, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss and itchy skin. 

If you experience one or more of these symptoms without other explanation, make an appointment with your doctor to get checked and potentially discuss next steps.

Seek out the support of a mental health professional 

Mental health professionals are a resource that can help you work through your feelings, cope with your thoughts and provide medical care. 

Grant yourself kindness

During difficult times, it is even more important to give yourself grace and show yourself kindness. This can be in the form of doing something you enjoy, like getting a coffee at your favorite café or cuddling up with a blanket on the couch to watch your favorite show. 

Don't be hard on yourself, and allow yourself to continue doing the things you like to do. 

Take time to write about things you are looking forward to in the future, the people in your life that mean something to you and simple things that bring you joy. 

Practice mindfulness and steady breathing techniques

When you're feeling overwhelmed or feel anxiety rising in your body, practice mindfulness and steady breathing. This looks different for everyone, but just a short meditation can go a long way. 

Practice steadying your breathing, with long breaths in and out, to calm your body and your mind. 

Focus on your five senses

One grounding technique that many find helpful is focusing on the five senses: touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell. You can do this by writing down one thing you can touch, taste, hear, taste and smell, or you can focus in more on each of these senses.

For example, sit outside and listen to the surrounding sounds. You could squeeze an ice cube and feel it as it melts in your hand. Suck on a sour lemon and focus on the taste. Focusing on senses can calm the body down. 

Allow yourself time in your safe space

Think about what your safe spaces are, and go there in times when you are struggling. 

Your safe space might be your bedroom, or it could be with a certain person. When things are getting difficult, take time in the place that brings you a sense of safety and calm. 

Familiarize yourself with the warning signs

Everyone should know some of the common warning signs associated with suicide. 

Some warning signs include talking about plans for suicide, increased anxious behavior, talking about feeling like a burden, trapped or hopeless, increased use of alcohol or drugs, sleeping too little or too much, withdrawal from social activities, sharing thoughts of a hopeless feeling about the future and extreme mood swings. 

Call 911 if the person is at immediate risk

If someone you know is at risk, or you think the person is at risk, call 911 and get help immediately.

Encourage the person to call or text 988

Talk to the individual about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Explain that the line is open 24/7.

Help get professional help

Encourage them person to get professional mental health help. It is a step in the right direction that the individual has reached out to you and is expressing feelings, but it's important that the person talks with a mental health professional, too. 

Getting professional help can be scary, so help the person get connected with a professional and offer to take him or her to the first appointment so the person doesn't feel alone.

Be an active listener

Always be an active listener and express that someone is never alone. It can be difficult to reach out for help, and if someone has chosen you to reach out to, it means that person has great trust in you and needs your support. 

Provide that person with support by listening to his or her feelings and continue to have follow-up conversations. 

Be a positive presence in the person's life

Continue to be a positive presence in the person's life. Be someone who can be counted on. If someone has strayed away from social interactions, continue to invite the person out and encourage him or her to spend time with others. This can help them avoid feelings of isolation. 

Be a safe space

Continue to be a safe space for the person who came to you. Make sure the person knows he or she can always talk to you. 

Provide resources and be someone who can be trusted.

Eczema is a skin condition that can cause a lot of uncomfortable itching on the body. 

Eczema is very common, with over 31 million Americans experiencing at least one form of it.

Eczema's severity can differ depending on each case. One common phrase used to describe an eczema breakout is a "flare-up." 

The skin condition can erupt at any point in one's life, and there are many different factors that could cause it. 

ADULT ACNE: DERMATOLOGISTS EXPLAIN ACNE TREATMENTS AND REVEAL MORE ABOUT THE SKIN CONDITION 

Below is everything you need to know about eczema and how symptoms can be treated. 

Eczema is a skin condition that can cause itchiness, dry skin, rashes and patches on the body. 

The condition is not contagious and can be managed, usually with moisturizers and creams to provide relief. 

There are several different types of eczema that all display different symptoms and have different causes. The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. This type is commonly seen in children but can affect people of all ages. 

ASTHMA AND ECZEMA COULD INCREASE RISK OF OSTEOARTHRITIS, STUDY FINDS 

Contact dermatitis occurs when people come into contact with a substance they are allergic to or one that irritates the skin. Dyshidrotic eczema typically is seen on the hands and feet in the form of small blisters. The exact cause of dyshidrotic eczema is unknown, although it could be triggered by allergies, stress or frequently moist hands and feet. 

Neurodermatitis affects around 12% of the U.S. population and causes intense itching on the body. Nummular eczema appears as scattered, raised, circular patches around the body. It is not uncommon for clear liquid to ooze out of these round spots. 

Seborrheic dermatitis usually affects the scalp and causes itchiness, flakiness and redness in the area. Lastly, stasis dermatitis develops when there is poor circulation in the legs. This type of eczema is seen on this part of the body. Individuals may experience one or more types of eczema at the same time. 

There are several different factors that could cause eczema. An overactive immune system and genetics are two possible causes. 

There are many environmental factors that could cause eczema. 

These environmental factors include dry weather, extreme hot or cold, certain soaps, laundry detergents and fabric softeners, fragrances, exposure to certain metals, makeup or skin products, certain clothing materials and smoke exposure. 

Increased stress could also provoke eczema.

Eczema symptoms are present on the skin. If you have eczema, you may notice that your skin is itchy, dry, inflamed, rough, scaly, swollen and there may be areas of oozing.

The length of time eczema symptoms could last during a "flare-up" vary. The skin could be cleared in a couple of days, or it could last many days or even weeks. 

Eczema is treatable with a prescription or over-the-counter moisturizers, antihistamines or topical steroid creams.

Avoid scratching the affected skin and take care to avoid known environmental irritants.

Literacy in general terms is defined as the ability to read and write. 

While these skills are taught in schools, support from parents at home is important to a child's success. 

Moms and dads should express how vital reading and writing are to your children at a young age. 

The earlier these skills are incorporated into their daily routines, the better. 

ON KIDS AND READING, WILLIAM BENNETT SHARES ‘INCREDIBLE LITERACY SUCCESS’ IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA

There are several techniques you can try to help your children if they are having a hard time with their literacy skills. 

Below are just a few. 

Story time can start before children say their first word. 

Creating the healthy habit of reading early in a child's life will help that habit to stick as they grow older. 

There is no age that is too early to read to your baby. Start reading to your newborn before nap and bedtime, to establish a routine and also allow the child to hear the rhythm and patterns of your voice. 

As kids get older, they will begin to get more involved with story time. 

Once your child is older, instead of simply reading a book start to finish, begin to pick out different vocabulary words from the story. 

Take extra time to talk about the meaning of the word with your children, and have them repeat the word after you. 

This will slowly begin to expand their vocabulary. 

Give children a choice in the books they are reading. 

Let your child pick out the book for the night, to get him or her excited about reading. 

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that they are reading something. 

Hearing your children read aloud is a great way to improve their literacy skills and get a feel for their progress, but it can also be intimidating for kids to read out loud for a long period of time. 

MORE US SCHOOLS EMBRACE PHONICS LESSONS OVER TRADITIONAL ‘WHOLE LANGUAGE’ TEACHING 

To combat this, take turns: Have your child read aloud, and then take a turn yourself in reading aloud — this way, they can both practice reading themselves and also hear the words being read aloud to them. 

Whenever you're reading out loud to your child, whether it be a whole book or a section, always make it fun.

If you read with excitement in your voice, your child is going to feed off your energy. 

By contrast, if you are reading in a very dull, monotonous voice, your children probably aren't going to be very excited to read, because they will pick up on that energy, too. 

Make reading a part of your kids' routine. Before bed is a popular time to get in the routine of reading a story. 

This doesn't mean you can't read with your child at other points throughout the day, but just make sure that there is a set time when reading occurs. 

The library is a place that can get kids really excited about reading. The best part: It's free! 

Plan trips to the library where your kids can pick out a stack of new books to get them more excited about reading. J

ust don't forget to return them when you're done! 

Lead by example. If your children see you reading often, they'll want to read just like you. 

Show them that reading is something that you do, too. 

To help with vocabulary, label common objects around the house, such as the couch and fridge.

Seeing the word spelled out and what it represents can help your child's literacy skills grow. 

Just as kids love picking out books at the library, they'll also love picking out a brand-new journal for writing. 

Take them to the store and let them pick their own journal to encourage them to write more often at home.

Breakfast is widely considered one of the most important meals of the day. 

A study found that more than 80% of adults over the age of 20 consume breakfast on a given day, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

From cereal to bagels, from fruit to waffles, the choice of breakfast for Americans can vary widely. 

HERE ARE THE SECRETS OF GOOD BACK-TO-SCHOOL BREAKFASTS FOR BUSY FAMILIES

Fox News Digital spoke with two health experts about the breakfast foods they consider the best selections for starting out the day on the right foot. 

Registered dietitian and food blogger Lauren Harris-Pincus, based in New York, shared her recommendations for the best breakfast foods to ensure you're getting enough protein, fiber, energy and more. 

"The trick is making sure to consume at least 20 grams of protein at breakfast in order to help prevent muscle loss as we age," she said.

Read on for the choices. 

Consider eating Greek yogurt for breakfast, said Harris-Pincus, as it's an opportunity to add other nutrients to your meal as well. 

"The plain, nonfat variety packs 18 grams of protein in a ¾ cup serving with 15% of the daily value of calcium as well as gut supporting probiotics," she said.

She also recommended adding fruit, nuts, seeds and more for flavor and fiber. 

For those looking for a non-dairy protein option, Harris-Pincus said that soy milk can be a great source of protein in the morning. 

"Soy milk is the closest to dairy milk with seven grams of protein," she said. 

She recommended sticking with an unsweetened option if you're watching your blood sugar or carb intake. 

BREAKFAST FOOD QUIZ! TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE POPULAR AND DELICIOUS DISHES

"Look for choices that are fortified with calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B12," she said. 

Another great breakfast food option, said Harris-Pincus, is anything involving berries — specifically raspberries and blackberries. 

"They are high in anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory effects and may help prevent lifestyle diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer," she said. 

Those two types of berries are the highest in fiber and the easiest way for women, specifically, to get their daily allotment.

Tanya Freirich is a registered dietitian nutritionist based in Charlotte, North Carolina, who practices as The Lupus Dietitian. 

She, too, shared her top recommendations for breakfast food choices with Fox News Digital. 

Freirich said eggs are a great breakfast option that can be packed with protein. 

"It’s a whole, unprocessed food that is easy and quick to prepare and can be made into a multitude of recipes," she said. 

She said eggs include vitamins as well — vitamin D, B12 and A, calcium, potassium, folate, choline and more. 

COFFEE QUIZ! HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CAN'T-LIVE-WITHOUT-IT DRINK?

The American Heart Association recommends eating a maximum of two eggs per day. 

Overnight oats are growing in popularity for meal preppers due to their simplicity and health benefits. 

Freirich told Fox News Digital that oats are a great breakfast food choice for a variety of reasons. 

"Oats in particular are a fantastic source of fiber — the specific type that can help lower cholesterol numbers and benefit our gut microbiome," she said.

She also noted that it’s easy to customize this choice to your liking by adding nuts, seeds and fruits.

"In comparison to refined grains (white bread, bagels, cereals), oats will help keep your blood sugar and energy steadier throughout the morning hours as well," she said.

Spooky season is near, and spine-chilling movies may put people in the Halloween spirit.

But have you ever wondered if the homes from your favorite horror movies actually exist?

Ahead of Halloween, here are real-life dwellings and sites where some of your favorite scary flicks were filmed.

FAKE SPIDER WEBS SHOULDN'T BE USED AS HALLOWEEN DECORATION: HERE'S WHY

Would you dare to visit?

In 1974, 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed his parents and his siblings while they slept in their beds. 

One year later, a new family, the Lutz family, purchased the DeFeo home, which has been known as "The Amityville Horror" house.

After moving into the Long Island, New York, dwelling, the family reportedly experienced supernatural phenomena and were driven from the home — as the 1977 book and 1979 movie show. 

The actual home still stands. It's become a bit of a tourist attraction and was depicted in multiple "Amityville Horror" films based on the original "true" story.

Similar to "The Amityville Horror," the movie "The Conjuring" claims to be based on a true story. 

Also, just like the Amityville, New York, house, the Rhode Island residence was investigated by real-life ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren.

In 2021, the house was listed for sale by its owners, who purchased the property back in 2019. 

Ghostly occurrences still reportedly occurred in the house, Fox News Digital reported in 2019. 

FORMER MASSACHUSETTS FUNERAL HOME IS LISTED FOR SALE: 'PROBABLY HAUNTED'

The owners had hoped to open the home to other paranormal enthusiasts like themselves.

Fortunately, "Scream" was not based on a true story. Scenes from the movie, however, were filmed in a real house in northern California.

It was announced in 2021 that the property would be available for bookings on Airbnb and would feature appearances from the Ghostface killer (or, an actor wearing the iconic mask).

Salem is a popular tourist destination around Halloween thanks to the Massachusetts area’s history involving witch trials. 

And while the film "Hocus Pocus" may not be considered "horrifying," tourists apparently enjoy stopping by a private residence that appeared in the movie.

‘HOCUS POCUS’ FANS CAN STAY AT ENCHANTING COTTAGE IN SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 

The house still has the same exterior it had in the movie and along with its location at the end of a street, it’s an easy location for fans to spot.

The Hook & Ladder Company 8 firehouse was used for exterior shots in "Ghostbusters." 

The firehouse still stands today and, while it’s a fully operational fire station for the FDNY, it has openly embraced its place in film history.

It has become a popular spot for fans to visit and take photos. Due to its location, many of the firefighters stationed at the house were some of the first responders to the scene of the World Trade Center terrorist attack on 9/11.

New York City has housed famous occupants and the Dakota apartment is one such building, which is located on West 72nd Street near Central Park.

While Judy Garland and John Lennon both lived there, the building was also the setting for the horror film "Rosemary’s Baby," starring Mia Farrow.

BRAIN TEASER: CAN YOU FIND THE 3 GHOSTS HIDDEN AMONG THE PANDAS?

John Lennon was shot in front of the building in 1980.

The iconic house from "Beetlejuice" was just a facade built for the film. 

The entire town of Winter River, Connecticut, was actually created just for the movie, with interior shots filmed on sound stages in California, according to IMDB.

Maitland Hardware Store's location was filmed in Vermont, IMDB's website states.

Ridley Scott’s classic "Alien" has often been called a haunted house movie in space. 

However, the film was not shot on a real spaceship.

Instead, the dimly lit corridors of The Nostromo were just sets built at a studio in England, according to IMDB.

Not all haunted Hollywood homes are used for both the interior and exterior shots.

The MacNiel residence in the 1973 horror movie classic "The Exorcist" was filmed at two locations — one in Georgetown, D.C., and the other in the New York City, IMDb shared.

The exterior shots of Regan MacNiel's bedroom window and house were filmed at 3600 Prospect Street NW, according to georgetowndc.com.

"The filming crew added an entire fake wing on the eastern side of the house, so that Regan's bedroom window could be closer to the infamous steps," the tour guide website continued.

The interior shots of the home, including the iconic possession and exorcism of Regan, were shot at a New York City soundstage.

Stephen King's well-known novel has gone through many film adaptations, but the most well-known would have to be the 1973 version starring Sissy Spacek, which earned her an Academy Award nomination.

The "White residence" was filmed at 122 N. 7th Street, Santa Paula, California, according to IMDb.

The home was owned by the Gilette family, but was not occupied during the time of filming, LA Magazine said.

The bungalow has since been destroyed — not by Carrie's telekinetic abilities resulting in a fire but instead by bulldozing by the Gillette family for reasons related to the film, the magazine reported.

"My dad became very frustrated because it was the ‘Carrie’ house, and individuals — mostly teenagers and young people — they started breaking into the house and started doing odd things inside the house," Robin Gillette told the magazine.

"The Legend of Lizzie Borden," starring Elizabeth Montgomery, may not have been filmed at the Borden home in Fall River, Massachusetts, but fans of the film can still visit the location where the murders occurred.

The movie set was closely modeled after the real Borden residence, which today serves as a working bed and breakfast and museum.

There’s a sudden chill in the air as autumn has arrived. 

And as the weather changes, you may be thinking about shifting your wine selections from summer to fall picks when you host friends and family in the autumn season. 

To lend a hand in those pursuits, wine experts from across the country shared with Fox News Digital their recommendations for wines under $50 a bottle for the new season. 

36 HOURS IN NAPA VALLEY: HOW TO PLAN FOR A GREAT WEEKEND AHEAD

Here’s to grape expectations!

This wine from Napa, California, is consistently picked by wine publications as a best buy and best in class by major wine publications.

That's according to Amber Carner, tasting room supervisor of River Runs Deep Winery in downtown Napa.

"Since our inception in 2005, we have been producing Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon as an answer to Napa Cabs that are two, three or four times its price," Carner revealed to Fox News Digital. 

She added, "I would pair this beautiful wine with a grilled ribeye steak with green chimichurri, roasted garlic mashed Yukon potatoes and grilled veggies with herbed butter."

2022 Sauvage Spectrum Teroldego from Grand Valley, Colorado, $32

Zachary Lewison, beverage manager and sommelier at Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail, Colorado, said this wine is "an excellent and affordable wine, and great for embracing the fall season."

Lewison added, "As the weather cools off, we start cooking heartier dishes with potatoes, squashes and heavier proteins." 

So "this wine pairs great with those flavors, as it has notes of blackberry and dark cherry, and has a slightly spiced backbone." 

2020 Blaufränkisch, Beneduce Vineyards in Pittstown, New Jersey, $42

As the fall weather settles in, Mike Beneduce, vineyard manager and winemaker of Beneduce Vineyards in Pittstown, New Jersey, recommended his vineyard’s signature red wine, Blaufränkisch. 

DELICIOUS AND EASY BACON-WRAPPED APPETIZERS: TRY THE RECIPE

"It's a savory, medium-bodied red with aromas of wild blueberry, bonfire smoke and dark chocolate that pairs really well with hearty stews and soups, as well as with slow roasted meat and game," Beneduce told Fox News Digital.

For people who are stuck in a rut of drinking the same wines over and over, this wine can offer a really different sensory experience, he said. 

"It's made from sustainably grown grapes entirely from our own farm here in Pittstown," he said.

"It's offered in limited quantities to customers visiting our tasting room, online shop and members of our Moonlighter's Wine Club," he also noted.

2020 Teroldego, South Shore Wine Company in the Lake Erie AVA, Pennsylvania, $27

Blaine Ballard, brand ambassador of Robert Mazza, Inc.'s Mazza Wineries, said this red variety is a great wine for a hearty fall dinner.

"This wine is full of bright fruit balanced by a vibrant acidity," Ballard said.

"A bit of earthiness and black pepper rounds out the palate," she added.

"A careful oak aging approach rounds out the wine, resulting in a wonderful depth of character sure to complement a wide variety of fall dishes. Hearty Osso Bucco or rustic poultry dishes would pair well with this wine," Ballard also noted.

2017 Krupp Brothers Just Dessert wine, Napa, California, $45

This "Just Dessert" wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier grapes, making it the perfect dessert wine to share at the end of a fall meal, said Tyler Hinsley, tasting room manager with Krupp Brothers, in downtown Napa, California. 

"Pour yourself a small, chilled glass of this wine alongside a warm pecan pie, a créme brûlée, peach cobbler, lemon cheesecake or Grandma's snickerdoodle cookies," Hinsley told Fox News Digital. 

"It is worth each sip, especially when you see the smiles of your friends and family when you share this wine and pair it with a delicious dessert."

He also said, "This is a wine that I'll choose to have at the dinner table for making more holiday memories this year."
