“Literally, A Haunted House” is back this year at New Albany’s historic and legendary Culbertson Mansion. If you dare, take a tour of the Carriage House in the backyard. This year’s theme is “Vintage Horrors.”
Fun (and spooky) fact: Over the years, mansion staff and volunteers have reported strange and unusual occurrences in the Carriage House, including electrical problems, mysterious figures moving from room to room, strange sounds after hours and missing items. So, yes, this is literally a haunted house! Reservations are encouraged.

Danger Run North
Billed as the “Most Fun You’ve Ever Had in Your Car,” Danger Run is one of the longest operating Halloween attractions in the region. This immersive scavenger hunt-style game has you driving around to follow the clues that lead you to haunted locations. Beat the game and you and your crew will be entered to win free prizes.
New for 2021: The course takes you to haunted locations and you will use the new Spirit Box app to communicate with ghosts. If solved correctly, the spirits will reveal information to solve the mystery of their disappearance. The object of the game is to identify the individuals that are responsible and put the spirits to rest. It is like the driving version of the game “Clue.”
When: Open daily in October. Hours are: 6-10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday and 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday
