MT. CORY__Kaleidoscope Farms is partnering with the music department at Cory-Rawson High School for a first-ever haunted trail hike on Oct. 20 and 21 from 6-10 p.m. Students will provide their acting skills as the “ghosts” haunting a couple miles of wooded, spooky trails on the farm, with a portion of the proceeds going to fund the Cory-Rawson Music Boosters.
Visitors will have to find clues along the trails to solve a (fictional) century-old murder with origins in the Clymer Cemetery just down the road from the farm. They’ll have to hike the trails and find the ghosts to determine which natural poison growing on the farm was used to commit the crime and solve the Mystery of Clymers Passed.
