One of many Halloween events at Azalea Trace was Spooky Hollow. Tours were led along one of the trails in the haunted woods next to the retirement community.
First you had to check in:
 |
| A witch puts your name on the list |
There were plenty of seats as you waited for the tours that departed every 10 minutes.
 |
| Waiting for a tour |
There was even an activity where you had the opportunity to win a ghost ring.
 |
| Toss large washers in a tube |
When your name was called, you followed a guide into the woods.
 |
| One of many guides |
At the first stop, a ghost caught in a spider web offered candy:
 |
| If you reached in the candy bowl, a skeleton hand grabbed you |
We sent the gentlemen ahead of us as we approached the Troll Toll:
 |
Since we didn't know the password, we each had to answer a question
to receive a token to cross the bridge |
 |
Those who didn't answer a question were "penalized"
by having to walk like Frankenstein as they crossed the brdge |
Next up, skeletons:
 |
| These skeletons recited a poem about "Bones, bones..." |
The Pumpkin Patch:
 |
| This pair of pumpkins recited the list of indignities they have to suffer |
This witch and her black cat were the hit of the afternoon:
 |
| Realistic cackling as we were warned about the cat |
 |
| Scary witch! |
We turned in our bridge tokens for a refreshment:
 |
| We were served a delicious witch's brew |
An admirable bit of entertainment for young and old!
