Step into the haunted arboretum for a chilling night of ghost stories, spectral encounters and emotional echoes that linger in the trees.<\/p>\n

Guided by the enigmatic Memory Keeper, guests will follow moonlit paths where ghost tales unfold at every turn\u2014whispers of sorrow, strange disappearances and the unseen forces that still
\nroam the woods. Leave a memory on the sacred tree. Whisper a secret to the reflective pool. And make a final offering to escape the forest\u2019s grasp.<\/p>\n

The night ends around a fireplace, where storyteller Mike McDowell conjures eerie local lore and ghost stories that tie directly into the haunted path you\u2019ve just walked. This isn\u2019t about jump scares\u2014it\u2019s about dread in the dark, the feeling that something is watching and the stories that follow you home.<\/p>\n

*Appropriate for youth ages 12+<\/p>\n
