Hawthorn Hollow to host Spooky Hollow Event

The annual Halloween folklore and storytelling celebration is coming up!

By Hawthorn Hollow

Hawthorn Hollow grew out of love for the land. As a nature sanctuary and arboretum, Hawthorn Hollow has been connecting people and nature through environmental education for more than 50 years. Walking trails invite visitors to explore a 12-acre arboretum, the woodlands of the Pike River Valley, prairies, gardens, and historic buildings of Somers’ past. Hawthorn Hollow is owned and operated by the Hyslop Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501 c3 organization formed in 1964.

Hawthorn Hollow is proud to announce Spooky Hollow, our annual Halloween folklore and storytelling
celebration. This year’s event will run on Fridays October 18 and 25th, with sessions at 5 and 7:30 pm.

Embark on a spook-tacular journey through Hawthorn Hollow, where mysterious creatures and spine-
tingling tales await.

Hear bone-chilling tales from folklore, explore our trails after dark, create a festive Halloween craft,
capture memories at one of our spooky selfie spots, and more!

This event is adult and family-friendly. There is no jump-scare or horror element to this event, only slightly
chilling stories and (super)natural props throughout our trails.

Each session is two hours long, and gives you access to the entire Spooky Hollow event. You are free to
hike to different stories and experiences at your leisure during your session. Only some of Hawthorn

Hollow’s trails will be open for this event, attendees will receive a map of accessible areas.

Trails may be uphill, narrow, slippery, or have roots or other natural hazards. This is an outdoor event
with minimal shelter, please dress for the weather.

Food and beverages, including alcohol, will be available for purchase.

Registration is required. Admission is $20 per person ($15 for children 12 and under). For more info or to purchase tickets, please visit https://hawthornhollow.ticketspice.com/spooky-hollow
