October is the month of shadows. As Halloween approaches, the spirit world meets the living, and in certain places, ghosts can be seen by mortals. Ridgefield's own Hemlock Hills is one such haunted forest. Lingering here, spirits of Ridgefield's long-ago past appear to all who pass by on the night of "The Ghosts of Ridgefield," Saturday, October 25th.
"The Ghosts of Ridgefield," presented by the Discovery Center at Ridgefield, has become a popular Halloween tradition. Folks who venture into the forest are guided by leaders experienced in finding the legendary figures. Ghostly characters from Ridgefield's past entertain passers-by with their tales and personal stories. Some of our "guests" in past years have included Colonel Brady, Chief Catoonah, the Leatherman, and Sarah Bishop. It remains a mystery who will show up this year. Apple cider and cookies will be served around a campfire to fortify the brave participants.
