Storytellers weave spooky folktales near bonfires and treats such as hot mulled cider, cookies and candy can be found throughout the site. Most stops are suitable for all ages, but the Soldier Ghost Haunted Rowhouse, Demon Dance and Loup Garou Forest will give thrills and chills to adults and children alike.
