The SPOOKTACULAR takes place in our historic,
185+ year old farmhouse, built before 1822, which holds
a shocking past, and a history of true stories of ghosts
and the unexplained. The house was the mansion of the
late W.C. Gist, and his wife who owned the 750 acres, of
what was known as "Happy Hills Farm". After the death of
Mr. Gist, his 750 acre farm property was willed to
Brooke County and became Brooke Hills Park, which is
what it has been for the past 55 years. At Brooke Hills
Spooktacular, we DO NOT use any type of animatronics -
Only live volunteer actors. Each year, our volunteers
come to run the house, knowing that group members are
aware that they will be touched, ripped through walls,
locked in areas, pulled through the ceiling, etc.
(Sounds hard to believe, but we do, and we take pride in
what we do.) Guided groups wander throughout the house,
taking approximately 30 or more minutes to complete the
tour. Each room of the old farm house is a stop along
the tour, and each room is a different scene. NO TWO
scenes/rooms have been used more than once, which means
that annually, Spooktacular is always changing, and is
always growing bigger each year!
For those of you who don't have a belief in ghosts,
believe us when we tell you that most of us did not
believe either... at first. It has been the many hours
spent in the house during the preparation for
Spooktacular, that we have experienced the unseen
residents of the house, which include: a little girl,
the farmhand, Indians in the basement, and a number of
other spectors that haunt the 185+ year old house. The
house is home to many stories that belong to the locals
in the area as well. Sightings are not a rare occurrence
in the ancient farm house, especially when customers
experience them as well.
