Late October and Halloween are my favorite time of the year. There’s so much going on and so many good things to eat. And…there’s pumpkin everything – from ravioli to cake. A cold front is moving in today bringing us some real fall sweater weather and hopefully some colorful trees.
It’s also time for all that spooky stuff. And there’s plenty of that happening in Madison. The elegant Lanier Mansion is being taken over by Night Spirits, Friday October 17 from 7-9pm. “Each ‘spirit’ will tell a true, shocking tale related to their life, or death. Reservations recommended, call 812-265-3526.
On the 18th & 19th, there’s a Haunted Mystery Trolley Tour that leaves from the gazebo on Vaughn Dr. There will be treats & tricks, for sure. Call 812-701-4113 for reservations.

It just keeps getting creepier at Haunted Cozy Acres on October 25th. There will be haunted golf car rides, games, costumed mini-golf and more.
