I’ve hosted my project on Observable!

Module 6: Project Proposal

For my final project, I’m considering two different datasets: Tim Renner, “Haunted Places in America.” https://data.world/timothyrenner/haunted-places*Probably restricting it to New York State/Northeast due to the amount of data Executions in New York State, extracted from https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/8451/datadocumentation# The hauntings dataset is very fun- everyone loves a good spooky experience.
