NORTH CONWAY, New Hampshire -- Cranmore Mountain in North Conway, NH celebrates Halloween every weekend in October with the return of The Ghoullog, where visitors board the quad chairlift for a night-time ride to the summit for a haunted mountain-top tour. Coming back for its second year, the Ghoullog will be bigger, scarier and more fun than ever with the addition of new haunts, animatronics, a children's Halloween Harvest Festival and outdoor food court. Dates of operation were extended due to the overwhelming demand for tickets last fall.
When the nights lengthen and the trees begin to turn, it is the time of year when the spirits rise and roam the grounds of Cranmore. Daring visitors are invited to walk the grounds and take the chairlift to the summit to see tortured souls, knowing they are protected by the guards of the Ghoullog.
The tour starts in the Eating House lodge at the base of Cranmore Mountain and includes a night-time stroll through a haunted walkway to the Quad. After the 7-minute ride to the 2,000 foot summit of Cranmore, visitors tour the Ghoullog, where haunted happenings are sure to frighten and surprise the hardiest souls.
While at the summit, spectacular night-time views of North Conway Village below are sure to delight all comers. At the end of the tour, visitors enjoy a ride down the Quad chairlift to the base with a breath-taking vantage of the Moat Mountains and Mount Washington at night.
