Newscope: Arrow Rock becomes 'haunted village' Saturday evening

Friday, October 24, 2008

The village of Arrow Rock unveils its new, family-friendly event, Spirits, Shadows & Secrets, 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25.

The event will take place at venues throughout the village and will include presentations by real-life ghost-hunters, "spirit"-led tours of historic buildings, ghost stories and s'mores around the campfire, guided tours of the nearby Sappington Cemetery and much more.

A tractor-pulled wagon will circle through the village continuously so attendees can hitch a ride and go from one event site to the next.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7.50 for children under 12 (children under 2 admitted free) and may be purchased at the event entrance starting at 5:45 p.m. Visitors will be directed to park and check in at the Arrow Rock State Historic Site Visitors' Center.
