The United States is full of haunted places ranging from large cities to small towns. These haunted locations range from schools to restaurants to cemeteries and gravesites. Some states come across as more haunted than others, but is this the case? Does a higher state population mean more observed hauntings? Are there places that are […]

I was finally able to get the population dataset in Tableau and finished my visualizations! It took a long time to sort some of the data, but it came together nicely. I am still deciding on which Types of Haunted Places chart I should use. I feel it is important to include the other category […]

As of right now, I am having more computer problems that are causing difficulties than anything else that is occurring with my project. Tableau does not want to open up and add another data set in order for me to add city populations into my visualizations. I am hoping my computer will come around and […]

For my final project, I will be using Tableau charts to show my information and data. As of right now, I am kind of leaning towards doing an essay with embedded charts to help explain the types and the descriptions of the different haunting in different locations. This is because trying to narrow down and […]
For my final project, I am going to look at Tim Renner’s, “Haunted Places in America.” dataset. This dataset lists haunted places and their location by state and city as well as specific location. According to the site, this “dataset is a scraped, cleaned, and geocoded collection of haunted places in the US”. I plan […]
Here are two different datasets I am interested in looking at for the final project that Professor Kane provided. I think for both of these datasets, I could work with Tableau or some other sort of data visualization project.

In my Line Graph, I show the population of people in Albany for the entire census. I used race as a filter but excluded Native Americans. I was surprised to find how there was little increase in the population of Black and Japanese and Chinses people, even in the later periods displayed on the chart. […]
I am still not sure I completely understand what it is I am doing. These assignments were challenging, but I think I am beginning to understand them a little better. I found the web scraping assignment to be the most difficult. I enjoyed the gender influence assignment because I found it helpful to try and […]
This week’s assignments were interesting, but also challenging. Like others, I found Observable much easier to use and understand than Colab. I found the way that Observable is setup made it easier to see if my answers were right or wrong and I had a better understanding of what I needed to change in order […]
