Legend has it the location around the 108 Heritage Site has a grisly history dating back to the Cariboo Gold Rush days.
While people claim the site is still haunted today, things will get a whole lot more spooky when the Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School grads are done with it.
A Halloween party for the community, which is a big hit with local families, is set for the old log barn at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 31.
Organizer Ingrid Meyer says this will be the first Halloween party with real ghosts.
“There is a man standing behind the window,” she says of the ghost
“People who drive across the highway have seen this person, the ghost, standing there. I haven't seen it, but other people have. There are a lot of spooky things going on.”
The PSO grads, known for their exceptional and chilling haunted house exhibits in past years, are putting together a haunted barn at this year's event.
Admission to their haunted barn -- "Hillbilly Horror" -- is $5 and it will cost $2 for children under 12 years to enter the special Kids Zone.
Otherwise, the event, which is free to attend and goes from 5 to 9 p.m., will also feature games, a bonfire, concession stand and fireworks display.
“We're accepting all the money donations, so we can get for bigger fireworks,” Meyer notes.
“We're also looking for Halloween-related vendors for candies, costumes, games and stuff like that.”
Meyer can be contacted at 250-791-5663 for more information.
