HARTFORD, Conn. — FOX61 is taking a look at all things spooky and scary in Connecticut for the final week before Halloween!
Where's your favorite Connecticut Haunt?
"Phantom Fall Fest" at Lake Compounce
America’s first amusement park is closing out its Phantom Fall Fest this weekend and guests are invited to check out the scares and family fun at the park.
The Phantom Fall Fest includes four haunted houses and three scare zones. If you’re not a big fan of scares, there’s also a family-friendly trick-or-treating event from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on October 29 and 30!
It’s also the last weekend to check out the park’s popular roller coasters!
The park is set to reopen for the holiday season on November 19th, when it kicks off its longest Holiday Lights season.
"The Woman in Blue"
At the Isham-Terry House in Hartford, a spooky immersive experience is open to the public.
Actors perform a play scattered throughout the house, focusing on a murder mystery and the audience has to figure out who the killer is. The house is a historical landmark and has not been changed since the 1800s.
Actors dress in historically accurate costumes and tell a tale of the "Women in Blue" and it's up to the audience members to uncover the clues and figure out who the murderer is.
The ending can change depending on what the audience thinks! The spooky experience in the historic house is open this Friday and Saturday.
Nathan Hale Homestead
FOX 61’s Symphonie Privett explored why things go bump in the night at the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry.
Visitors to the Connecticut landmark have reported seeing ghosts on the property, having their hair tugged on and more.
The landmark was also featured on the hit Syfy show “Ghost Hunters” where the team recorded audible sounds believed to be from spirits inside the Hale home. You can tour the Hale Homestead for yourself and learn about the history of the property, as well as the spooky encounters.
Hartford's Curioporium
The Curioporium is an immersive experience that includes six themed rooms full of unique spooky items, complete with storytelling from on-site staff.
Each room is filled with unique antiques that help tell the story of the Havisham family and delve deeper into the merger between the living and the spirit world.
As guests make their way through each immersive room, they’re free to check out the decorative items that are also for sale.
The Curioporium also hosts events and private gatherings, click here for more information.
