Are you ready to do something different this Halloween? If you’re tired of doing the same old things for Halloween, try one of these spooky and exhilarating Halloween ideas this year.
A haunted pub crawl is a quirky and spooky way to spend the night of Halloween. What could be better than meeting ghosts and spirits while tipsy?
A lot of US cities feature haunted pub crawls. For example, if you’re in Gettysburg, a Gettysburg ghost tour and pub crawl will give you a chance to see Gettysburg’s best pubs and clubs while also visiting all of the haunted spots Gettysburg is known for. Gettysburg has been haunted since the Battle of Gettysburg due to the many soldiers who died there, although some people say that Gettysburg has been haunted long before that.
Similarly, haunted pub crawls in cities like New York City, LA, Savannah, and Salem allow visitors to experience the spooky side of the US.
2. Go on a Haunted Amusement Park Adventure
Hop onto Google Maps to see if there are any haunted amusement parks near you. If you like the thrill of going on a roller coaster or other amusement park rides, why not make it even more thrilling and exhilarating?
Some amusement parks offer attractions and rides that feature scary sounds, laser beams, ghost-like creatures or zombies that appear out of nowhere, and other startling and heart-stopping sights and sounds.
3. Explore an Abandoned Amusement Park
Alternatively, check if there are any abandoned amusement parks in your area that you can explore. We don’t condone trespassing or breaking into places you’re not allowed to enter, but some of them may be open to the public!
Amusement parks are abandoned for all sorts of reasons. Some of them simply weren’t profitable. The owners may have abandoned them because there weren’t enough visitors to turn a profit.
However, some of them may have been abandoned for darker, more nefarious reasons, including accidents and even deaths occurring on premises, causing the amusement park to halt its operations due to the scandal. Who knows – the ghosts of the children who died there may still be haunting the place.
If you’re more of an adventurous and daring person who doesn’t mind doing off-the-beaten-track activities, this is a great way to spend your Halloween.
4. Enjoy a Blindfolded Dining Experience
If you are a foodie but you’ve never gone on a blind dining experience, now is the time to do so. For example, Dining in the Dark is an experience available in several cities, including DC and Gettysburg, that offers a unique gastronomical experience while blindfolded.
You will be served a three-course meal without ever seeing what you’re eating, with carefully curated dishes that will captivate your taste buds. You will be blindfolded the whole time, which makes it perfect for Halloween.
5. Go on a Ghost Tour
If you’re not much of a drinker, a haunted pub crawl might not be for you. However, there’s an excellent alternative – going on a ghost tour.
A ghost tour is a great way to experience your city in a new light. You will visit historic buildings that are said to be haunted. You might even pass some of these buildings every day without having the slightest clue about their haunted history!
Whether you’re traveling this Halloween or planning on spending it in your city, a Halloween ghost tour is a fun and rewarding experience. For example, if you’re visiting Williamsburg, a Williamsburg ghost tour will allow you to learn all about Colonial Williamsburg’s creepy past. You will visit places like the Peyton Randolph House and the Bruton Parish Church, both of which are famously haunted places in Williamsburg.
Regardless of where you will be this Halloween, there are plenty of ways to make it a memorable year.
