Ghost hunts, ghoulish walks, and guided tours for fall
Batavia, N.Y. – The Haunted History Trail of New York State is home to the state's largest collection of haunted and Halloween happenings taking place now through the end of October. Events range from guided ghost walks and themed Halloween parks to historical haunted tours and paranormal investigations. A complete listing can be found on the Haunted History Trail’s online Ghostly Events Calendar.
Home to all things paranormal, the Haunted History Trail features more than 80 authentically haunted locations across the state – some of which have been featured on television programs dedicated to exploring sites known for their paranormal activity. Experiences include historical tours, opportunities to “dine with the spirits,” psychic and medium readings, ghost hunts, overnight stays and more.
In the months leading up to Halloween, the Trail broadens its offerings to include Halloween-themed events – on and off the trail – encouraging New York State residents and visitors to embark on their own seasonal adventure.
“We have a strong, dedicated following that engages with us all year – and when Halloween season arrives and we roll out our suite of events, we see an even greater interest in attendance," says Kelly Rapone, administrator of the Haunted History Trail. “Our haunted events range from family-friendly trick-or-treating to some truly terrifying paranormal investigations. There’s something for everyone.”
While the Trail prides itself on its unmatched catalog of destinations that promise frights and thrills, it also recognizes that Halloween is beloved by individuals of all ages and strives to include events that are appropriate for everyone – festivals, corn mazes, costumed historical tours, and events at the Syracuse and Utica zoos are among those designed for the whole family to enjoy.
The Haunted History Trail of New York State is supported through the Tourism Matching Funds program, administered by Empire State Development and I LOVE NY, New York State’s Division of Tourism.
