If Halloween is your favorite holiday and haunted history is your thing, you won’t want to miss a spooky event a local museum will be hosting this fall.
“Small but mighty” is generally the theme of the Springtown Halloween Parade, which brings together members of the Springfield Township, Palisades School District and surrounding communities for festive fall fun.
☠ Happy Halloween! On Episode 78 of No Rain Date, we’re thrilled–and chilled–to be joined by local paranormal investigator, podcaster and filmmaker Justin Torok of Ghost Encounters, who has delved into the dark history of some of the Lehigh Valley’s most iconic locations.
Although many area municipalities rescheduled their Trick-or-Treat nights due to Friday evening’s ominous weather forecast, Hellertown borough and Lower Saucon Township’s Trick-or-Treat isn’t postponed due to the wind and the heavy rain that is forecast to fall.
Nobody enjoys walking around in a wet Halloween costume or trying to eat soggy candy bars, but the safety of participants is the reason why officials in Fountain Hill borough, the City of Bethlehem, Salisbury Township and a number of other local communities are opting to postpone their Trick-or-Treat nights from Friday, Oct. 29 to Sunday, Oct. 31.
Local author and historian Dr. Ned Heindel will speak about one of the Lehigh Valley’s most celebrated haunted places as part of a talk, “Witches, Warlocks, and Wild Times: A History of the Haunted Hexenkopf Rock,” presented by Saucon Source and the Lower Saucon Township Historical Society on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 3 p.m.
Sunday’s cool, cloudy weather didn’t turn out to be quite as nice as the forecast called for earlier in the week, however that made little difference to the thousands of spectators who packed Hellertown sidewalks to watch the 2021 Saucon Valley Spirit Parade.
It’s been a few years since Hellertown has played host to a big parade, so organizers of Sunday’s Saucon Valley Spirit Parade and borough officials are taking extra steps to inform the community about the event, which will begin at 2 p.m.
On Episode 76 of No Rain Date we’re joined by Ellen Flynn, accomplished ghost storyteller, historian of creepy local places and dark side enchantress, for spooky tales about eight current or former Lehigh Valley eateries that are believed to be haunted.
The Lehigh Valley has no shortage of bars and restaurants housed in historic buildings. Many of these eateries have operated for generations, and in some cases they have apparently done so with a little help from “spirits,” both literal and figurative.
