With the end of October approaching at an alarming rate, you’re running of time to get your pre-Halloween spook on. As an advocate for getting the heebie jeebies and the unsettling discomfort of being in a haunted room, we would like to recommend hitting up these local places to get your scream on.
Olde Courthouse Catacombs & The House of Lecter
You’ve probably noticed a hearse advertising these two notable haunted houses of Evansville, and after 38 years in the scare business they have the technique down to an art. This year you will enter the two houses to find classic monsters lurking in the shadows, so good luck leaving without uttering a scream or two.
Grey Lady Ghost Tour
While the Grey Lady haunts Willard’s Library year round, there’s no denying that there’s an added chilling factor of visiting this old library during the final week before Halloween. Think you’re brave enough to go on a ghost tour?
Zombie Farm
Newburgh’s Zombie Farm gives you the chance to live out your dreams of being scared out of your wits by zombies and ghouls as you trek your way through a farm. Once you make your way safely inside the haunted house you’ll encounter a new breed of freaks. Fortunately, there is a “no touching allowed” policy which is a big relief since we all know what happens if you get bit by a zombie.
Haunts of Owensboro Tours
Spend an evening learning the haunted history of downtown Owensboro with a walking tour or a creepy carriage ride. If you love a good ghost story, then David Wolfe’s enthusiasm for the town’s history won’t disappoint you.
Historic Newburgh Ghost Walks
Take a chilling walk (or hayride) down beautiful downtown Newburgh and learn about its ghostly history. This is not the type of Halloween-inspired tour that will include scary monsters jumping out at you, but the tales you will hear will keep that beloved eerie feeling you’re craving alive.
