Spooky season is almost upon us, and 60-year-old Duane Hansen had a unique way of bringing in the season: paddling 38 miles down the Missouri river in a hollowed-out pumpkin.

🛶🎃 Row, row, row your boat pumpkin... Duane set out to break the Guinness World Record last weekend – and smashed it, paddling more than ten miles further than the previous record. 

Someone better let Cinderella know her carriage has officially been transformed into a makeshift canoe.
