Spooky ways to celebrate Halloween

by Elisa Parry

Ghost stories. People love them or hate them. Being a self-confessed scaredy-cat with an overreactive imagination, I can’t say that I’m particularly fond of them. But sometimes curiosity wins over, and I’ll find myself on a ghost tour, or reluctantly touring some haunted historical house jumping out of my skin at every suspicious sound. If you’re going to do one, you may as well go all out and lock one in for Halloween. Cemetary tour, anyone? The older the spookier they say…

This homestead is full of supernatural secrets just waiting to be uncovered… (read: jump out and scare the pants off you).
