Things That Go Bump in the Night . . . Ghost Night

When night settles on creaky old buildings during the scariest time of the year, you never know what you may bump into . . . ! This spooky evening for kids ages 8-12 will take place on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Wilton Historical Society.

During a candlelight walk through the dimly lit period rooms, and up and down groaning stairs of the 1740 Betts House and the 1772 Fitch House, kids will hear stories of the families who lived there. They will wend their way to the Burt Barn, where deep in the darkest chamber they will hear classic scary Halloween stories told in the dark. The evening will conclude with games, cider and donuts. Halloween costumes are optional.

Parents may drop their kids off, but they are invited to linger and enjoy a glass of hard cider while waiting. Co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Wilton.

Registration required. Members’ cost is $15 per child, with a maximum of $30 per family; non-members are $25 per child, maximum $50 per family. Reserve via e-mail or call 203.762.icali7257.
