On Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26 and 27 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. each day, the Boothbay Railway Village will be presenting its annual Ghost Train and Haunted Hayride. This always popular event is the chance to experience the scary happenings in an otherwise peaceful and rural village.

In the spirit of fun, the passengers will pass through cemeteries, see zombies, hear strange animals and experience other sights of unimaginable creatures. The train ride and hayride are suitable for all ages and sure to be a fun and memorable experience for all.

Our train crew for the evening will be none other than the now infamous “Casey Bones” and our conductor “Frankenstein.” Several surprise goblins and such will ably assist the engineer and train crew.

The Village Store will be open for gift buying and admissions, then visitors will tour the haunted station and ride the Ghost Train if they dare. The Harbor Children's Center will be providing refreshments from cider to homemade cookies.

Admission for the event will be $10 for all attendees three years and older, museum members are $7 with a family rate of $40. The experience is designed to be appropriate for children from ages 4 and up. For more information, call the Railway Village at 633-4727 or visit www.railwayvillage.org.
