Haunted Haddonfield Tour
Haunted Haddonfield by William Meehan
It’s October in Haddonfield, when the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame. But is that the sound of rustling leaves or perhaps awakened spirits of bygone days? Come join us on a walking tour of Old Haddonfield as local author William Meehan regales us with ghost stories and legends from his popular paperback, Haunted Haddonfield. The tour begins at Greenfield Hall (343 Kings Hwy East) and winds past the cemetery and familiar homes along the way. The tour lasts about 90 minutes and can be enjoyed by everyone: couples, groups and families.
Tour dates are Friday and Saturday, Oct 21 & 22 and 28 & 29 at 7pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children under 13, and free for children under 3. Tickets can be purchased at the tour (cash only) or ahead of time by visiting Greenfield Hall, the Haddonfield Public Library, or the Haddonfield Visitor Center. There are no rain dates, but tickets can be used on any of the tour dates. Please remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a flashlight and wear somewhat reflective clothing as a safety precaution.
The autumn season also features the annual transformation of Greenfield Hall from a stately colonial center hall into the ghoul-infested Haunted Mansion for two special events.
The Ghostly Gathering
Saturday, October 29
All are invited to a “Ghostly Gathering” where party goers can enjoy the spooky décor and creaky sounds of the season, join in the séance or just take in the “spirits.” Costumes are not required but will add to the ambiance. Tickets for the Ghostly Gathering are $10 and can be purchased ahead of time by calling Greenfield Hall, 343 Kings Highway East, 856-429-7375.
The Haunted House
Sunday, October 30
An annual Haddonfield tradition, ghostly tours begin immediately following the town parade on October 30th. Refreshments are offered in the courtyard to all the brave survivors! Tickets for the tour are $3 for adults and $2 for children and are available at the door.
