Halloween Adventures

I’ve trawled the interweb for the best spooky Halloween adventures! I’m a fan of the unusual and the energetic, you so you won’t find any standard walking ghost tours on this list!

Zombie escapes are everywhere this Halloween so you’re sure to find one nearby. Movie grade special effects and professional actors make these experiences real, so you can face your fear of zombie apocalypse!

Halloween at Dracula’s castle – Romania

Surely the ultimate in Halloween adventures would be a visit to Dracula’s castle? Yes, it’s real. It’s called Bran Castle and you’ll find it in Transylvania (of course!) in Romania. What’s more is that you can actually spend the night there on Halloween! If you dare…

Spend Halloween at Draculas Castle!

Seen anything spooky on your travels?

The jury is out on whether I believe in ghosts and I’d prefer not to have it proven either way… but I did stay in a centuries-old inn in Bala, North Wales that made me feel very uncomfortable. Especially when the ‘Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’-style cupboard opened itself with a creek in the middle of the night!!
