The historic town of Clifton is preparing to add a new set of ghost stories to its collection. One of its primary annual fundraisers, the Haunted Trail, is scheduled to return for another year on Oct. 24.
Several hundred volunteers, including residents of Clifton, help organize the event. They prepare elaborate scenes and sketches to entertain and scare people who walk the trail through Buckley Park.
Julie Thompson with the Clifton Haunted Trail said to expect “a visit from the Bunnyman, roving monsters, zombies, witches, vampires, escaped convicts, the demented and deranged, just to name a few.”
The walk takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and covers eight acres of wooded park area. There is a rain date set for Oct. 25.
The Clifton Haunted Trail is scheduled to take place Oct. 24 at Buckley Park in Clifton from 7 to 10 p.m. Parking is available at the Clifton Flood Plain and Clifton Elementary School.
