It’s the first day of a new month and you know what that means: time for a new Caption This photo!
This month’s pick was inspired by a few Daily and Weekly observances I saw on Brownielocks: National Psychic Day (1st), National Psychic Week (1st-5th), and International Clown Week (1st-7th).

Rules
- Open to U.S. residents only. (Sorry out-of-country readers!)
- If two or more caption submissions are very similar, we’ll draw names from the Boo Bucket to determine a winner.
- Multiple entries accepted. (If you’re gifted enough to come up with more than one caption, feel free to submit them. Just be sure we know they’re distinct entries and not a giant run-on one.)
- Newsletter Subscribers: You can pick two of the same card, or two different ones. Entirely up to you.
FAQs
Are multiple submissions accepted?
Yes. See #3 above under Rules.
Does my caption have to be a quote?
Nope. You can give the photo a title, write a poem, make it a quote as if someone’s saying something, write a flash story…anything goes. Whatever the photo inspires from you, we’ll take!
Ready?
Go!
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Oh my…we didn’t have a lot of entries this month, but the ones we did have? SO fun! You guys are once again proving what clever captioners you are.
Which is great, except it makes my job hard.
Except there was one entry this month that stood out to me immediately.
I see comments in my behind-the-scenes dashboard even before I know what posts they go with. When I read Ken’s, the first thing I thought was, “What a perfect fit that’d be for the photo on this month’s Caption This contest.” Then I chuckled when I realized that’s exactly where he’d left it!
So CONGRATS, Ken! I’ll be in touch about getting your prize to you. (Or prizes, if you’re a newsletter subscriber.)
However, there are two other entries that are getting honorable mention nods this month too: William’s and Erica’s. I’ll be in touch with you two about that as well also.
THANK YOU to all who tried to come up with something for the August image. September is now posted so if you’d like to flex your captioning prowess with that one, it’s available for you to do so!
