As the sun sets, the spirits come out to play... Take a lantern-lit tour through the old Mill Hill graveyard at the Norwalk Historical Society's 6th annual, “A Haunting at Mill Hill”, Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22, 2016. Mill Hill is located at 2 East Wall Street, Norwalk, CT. Listen to NEW chilling tales from eerie Norwalk spirits at 6:00pm, 7:30pm & 9:00pm. Each tour is approximately 1 hour. Space is limited; purchase tickets online at www.norwalkhistoricalsociety.org, starting October 1st. Early bird tickets are available through October 19th. Refreshments follow each tour in the historic 1826 “Little Red Schoolhouse”. Bring a flashlight and a friend! Not recommended for children under 8 years old.
Among the crooked stones of Mill Hill, the ghostly entities are waiting to share their stories of death, murder, destruction and mayhem. Norwalk mobster and murder victim, Luigi Apicella and rabies victim, Myron Olmstead, will be a couple of the ghosts you will meet from Norwalk's colorful past. All the stories are true and researched by local historians, Madeleine and Ed Eckert.
Watch your back, as you make your way through the graveyard… new ghostly thrills will await you! Local haunted house and special effects experts Greg Kling and George Holomakoff have joined the Haunting team to incorporate a few bone-chilling surprises!
