With a recent stretch of rain and wind in the County, the explosion of colors has been a bit muted, but the forecast shows some clear days are ahead. The gloom has us thinking less about fall colors, and more about the spooky side of fall in Door County. In this issue, we’ll cover some of the basics of making sure your fall visit includes some frights that only Door County can deliver. It’s not too late – we still have availability for Halloween. If spooky is not your style, the holiday season is approaching quickly, so book your stay!
Haunted Lighthouses
Stories of haunted lighthouses have been scary story fodder for generations. These towers have served as a setting for many a horror film, and their solitary presence and the mystery surrounding them brings a certain creepiness to mind. Door County delivers with 11 of them around the peninsula and its islands, many with long-told tales of unexplained phenomena:
