Scare up some chills and thrills at the Monteith House Museum's Carriage of Shadows this October!
Dates: October 24 and 25
Step into the darkness and uncover Albany’s haunted past on the Carriage of Shadows. We are excited to have Chafin Farms join us with their horse-drawn wagons for this eerie event — a good ole haunted hayride with a chilling twist. As you journey through the shadowy streets, you’ll hear ghostly tales, pass haunted landmarks, and maybe even cross paths with a spirit or two. Hold on tight… this is one ride you won’t soon forget.
Drawn by the steady rhythm of hooves, you’ll glide through the shadowy streets of downtown Albany, passing more than 15 haunted hotspots, each hiding its own chilling tale. Hear of ghostly figures drifting across the courthouse lawn, whispers in deserted alleyways, and unexplainable happenings in the city’s historic buildings. Keep watch… you never know when a restless spirit might show itself.
But the night’s eeriest moments await inside the infamous Monteith House, Albany’s oldest and most haunted landmark. By the light of flickering candles, you’ll gather in its creaky rooms to hear spine-tingling stories of ghostly encounters that have haunted visitors for generations. Every groan of the floorboards and shiver of the air will make you wonder if you’re truly alone.
This immersive experience lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes… but the chills may follow you home. The Carriage of Shadows awaits—if you dare to ride.
The Carriage of Shadows event is a fundraiser to help support Monteith Historical Society's mission to continue to preserve Albany's first frame house and its collection of pioneer artifacts, as well as provide educational opportunities for the public.
In October, the Monteith House Museum offers several spooky experiences:
Ghost Walking Tour: (October 11 and 12) A guide will lead you through the nighttime streets of downtown Albany, Oregon and share ghost stories from several locations. Upon returning to the Monteith House, you will be invited inside the house to hear some of the more chilling ghostly tales that have been experienced within its walls. (approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes)
Trolley of Terror: (October 3, 4, 17, and 18) Board the trolley to ride in style as a guide recounts terrifying tales of unexplainable encounters in the downtown Albany area of more than 25 locations. After the trolley tour, you will be invited inside the Monteith House to hear some of the more chilling ghostly tales that have been experienced within its walls. (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes)
VIP Experience: (October 18 and 25) Perhaps you are of stouter heart than others and crave the opportunity to experience your own paranormal encounter. Our VIP Experience is for you! A small group of visitors will take part in a paranormal investigation in the Monteith House and gain experience using a variety of ghost hunting equipment. (approximately 2 hours 30 minutes)
