The Haunting Hour

October 18 @ 1:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$10 – $20

Step into the shadows of Hillsborough’s past at The Haunting Hour, our brand-new take on the dearly departed Spirits Tours! We’ve buried the old format, now join us for an immersive evening of storytelling, where ghostly tales and eerie legends unfold around you in a spine-tingling performance at the historic Hughes Academy. A partnership between the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and the Orange Community Players. With haunting histories brought to life before your eyes, every twist and turn will keep you on edge.

For those brave enough, add on Tales from the Grave—a moonlit mini walking tour through St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church graveyard, where stories of the departed echo among the stones.

And don’t miss our FREE mini Fall Celebration at the Hillsborough Visitor Center, filled with seasonal fun and shopping for all ages before or after your haunting adventure.

Step into the story… if you dare.
