Two Scary Nights Only!
When: Oct 29/30, 2011 5:30-9:30PM |
EEEeeekkkkk!
This Halloween weekend come to Troutdale and take a trip through one of the scariest and spookiest abandoned haunted hospitals around -- filled with years of ghostly visitations.
The Leadership Crew from Reynolds High School have taken over the old abandoned hospital in Troutdale near Edgefield -- the former county poor farm (learn more about Edgefield.) -- for an evening you won't soon forget. If you're familiar with this old building then you already know it's scary. Just imagine how really scary it can be at Halloween!
