Haunted Trails

Bastyr University’s annual “Haunted Trails” event is returning for another year of spooky fun. Hosted in the forest behind Bastyr University’s Kenmore campus for two consecutive Fridays and Saturdays (Oct. 18-19 and 25-26), the event, now in its 15th year, is one of the Eastside’s longest-running and biggest fright fests. It includes enjoyable activities for teenagers and adults, as well as trick-or-treating and a carnival for younger children – and is all for a good cause, as proceeds benefit student study-abroad programs.

Events for ages 8 and older (7-11 p.m.):

1) Haunted Trails: Complete with ghosts, ghouls and goblins, the Haunted Trails tour through the forest offers frights and delights around every corner. Enter if you dare!

2) Hades Labyrinth: With ghouls and monsters haunting all who enter, participants must find their way through a 2,400-square-foot maze of misty tunnels or be lost forever in the underworld.

3) Cemetery Hill: Is there anything creepier than a foggy cemetery at night? Yes — a foggy cemetery at night, filled with the living dead!

4) Circus of Horrors: Evil clowns make for a nightmarish experience under the big top.

5) Mummy’s Tomb: It’s cool to see mummies of the past…until they arise.

Cost: $20 per person for all five events. Major credit cards accepted. Tickets are available for purchase at the event or at HauntedTrailsBU.org. Ticket sales and check-in begin at 6:30 pm. The event is rain or shine and all ticket sales are final.
