Haunted Guyasuta returns with fright-filled festivities

Fright will abound in the forest during the annual Haunted Guyasuta event at the Boy Scout camp in O’Hara.

The Halloween-themed festival is scheduled for Oct. 15 and offers both fun and fear, depending on the time of day.

Pumpkin patches, hayrides and other non-scary activities will run from 3 to 6 p.m.

When night falls, all bets are off. Ghosts and goblins will do their best to scare attendees from 6 to 9 p.m.

Tickets are available now at campguyasuta.org.

Cost is $15 before Oct. 1 and $20 from Oct. 1-14. Same-day tickets cost $25. The camp is accessed by way of 23rd Street in Sharpsburg.

“There will be a lot for everyone,” Ranger Mike Daniher said.

The haunted trail will be filled with skeletons and other creatures.

Other activities include games, food and a bonfire.

The zipline will be open for anyone 11 and older. Cost is $10 per ride.

New this year is the high ropes course, which Daniher said will include seven adventure activities.

The event, a community staple more than 10 years, typically draws hundreds of guests.
