WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – This October, Storrowton Village Museum invites visitors to step into the past and get into the Halloween spirit with its popular Ghost Tours, held on Thursdays at 6:30pm. Tickets are $30 per person and available to purchase online at storrowtonvillage.com.

The self-guided evening tour takes visitors through the Village’s historic buildings, featuring a video on its paranormal past and stories of how each structure came to be here. October 9 is Family Night, with a special lantern-making activity for guests to bring along on their tour.

From jiggling doorknobs and phantom footsteps to unexplained taps on the shoulder, paranormal activity has been reported in Storrowton Village for generations. During the Ghost Tours, the Village’s storied past is explored through a supernatural lens. Each building, relocated to Storrowton between 1927 and 1930 from towns across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, was saved from demolition and preserved to share its history. The lives of their original families linger in these walls, joined by nearly a century of new stories from the millions who have since passed through. Now, guests can uncover the paranormal secrets hidden within this recreated 19th-century New England village.

Ghost Tours last approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours and are recommended for ages 12 and up. All ages are welcome on October 9, when the tour content will be tailored for families. Photography is permitted in select areas, but video recording is not allowed. Guests should check in at the Meeting House, where the tour begins. Tickets will be available at the door only if the event is not sold out. Please note: tours are not wheelchair accessible and include stairs and uneven surfaces. Ghost Tours run rain or shine
